My question is one that came up earlier today in match, I conceded but none of us knew for certain.
Setting: So I'm pretty close to winning an EDH game, someone put out a Timesifter, I end up winning most of the reveals. The Goblin player ends up winning, but I have plenty of blocks, and win the reveal at his upkeep (so I'm next, and with everyone but him tapped out.. I have the game on my turn, I think). I am however, down to four life so I'm afraid of anything actually hitting me.. even though I have Ajani Steadfasts Emblem. The Goblin player is a bit more on track than I thought, drops a Goblin Bombardment and sacs four Goblins to kill me.
At this point none of us are exactly sure if preventing all but one a source would deal would stop Bombardment from killing me. I don't mind to much though so I concede to look up the ruling. I can't really find anything related though, so I figured I'd give up and ask.
I already poked a mod that I like and asked them if they knew, but they are probably asleep and I'm curious. Thanks ahead of time!
Ajani Steadfast's emblem's damage prevention effect applies to each damage event that a source would perform. Since there are four abilities on the stack, each having the Goblin Bombardment dealing 1 damage to you, the damage prevention effect will apply to each of them separately, not as a collection. "All but 1" damage from a source that deals 1 damage is 1 damage, so when you consider the other three abilities, you will be dealt 4 damage and lose the game.
