If I have Ajani Steadfast's emblem in play, along with Protection of the Hekma, do I get to choose the order in which the two effects trigger? So in other words, can I prevent all damage dealt to me?
While the effects don't "Trigger" per say, you do get to choose the order they apply to you in. Any effects that prevent damage are applied in the order that the affected player/controller of the affected object chooses. So you can either:
A) Apply Ajani's emblem, reducing the damage to 1, then apply the Protection, reducing it to 0
B) Apply the Protection, reducing it to X-1 (Where X is the original damage), then (If that damage is not now 0) apply Ajani's emblem, reducing it to 1.
Do note that there's no triggering for replacement effects (which damage prevention is), the effect simply applies when the event would occur. So there's no way for anyone to respond after knowing the order you've chosen the prevention effects in, but before they apply.
