Undead Alchemist vs Nine Lives
Asked by Supersaulty 1 year ago
Which prevention trumps the other? Site rule.
Supersaulty says... #2
I actually had 3 solemnities out. We we're playing 4 way, so I was the first one out because I let them play how they thought it was until we got a definitive answer, but since nobody had enchantment hate in their decks and I was running approach of the 2nd sun with it. I would have won.

This is detailed in rule 616.1 (interaction of replacement and/or prevention effects). Since both of these affect the same player, the affected player chooses which order to apply them in. This usually but not always means, in practice, that the defending player will choose to prevent the damage with Nine Lives, though it's notable here that they can choose to prevent the damage with Undead Alchemist if they wish to not get more incarnation counters.
So in general, Nine Lives wins.
