Swans of Bryn Argoll and Justice Strike

Asked by 9-lives 2 years ago

If i have Swans of Bryn Argoll on the battlefield, and wish to cause its ability to trigger, could I use Justice Strike to do so without killing Swans of Bryn Argoll?

Assuming that there is nothing stopping damage from being prevented, the damage will be prevented, the Swans will survive, and you will draw 4 cards.

Small nitpick Swans of Bryn Argoll has a replacement effect, not a triggered ability. It does not use the stack and can not be responded to. If damage would be dealt to the Swans it will be prevented and the controller of the source the damage is prevented from will draw cards before anyone receives priority.
