Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 8/1/2008: This is not a prevention effect, so it will work even if the damage can't be prevented.
• 8/1/2008: If two or more of these are on the battlefield, you apply them sequentially. So if the source would deal 5 damage while two of these are on the battlefield, the first one turns it into 3 damage, then the second one turns that into 2 damage.
