Does {Lashknife barrier} prevent the damage? Or is it . . . A replacement effect? Asking for the instance of {Leyline of Punishment}
It is a replacement effect. It doesn't prevent the damage, it simply reduces it. It will get around the leyline.
RESOLVED
Awesome. That's what I thought. Thanks
No problem 👍
Prevention effects will say "prevent" on the card (off the top of my head, {Reinforced Bulwark}).
What threw me for a loop is that I know {Beacon of Immortality} is life gain even tho it doesn't say "gain" on it
You can usually tell if simehin is a replacement effect if it says the words "if" and/or "instead."
