Magic missile, Rem Kalorus, and a big stack results in zero damage.
My opponent is at 9 life. Their board is a lands and a tapped [[iymrith desert doom]].
I control [[rem karolus, stalwart slayer]] and a single [[showdown of the skalds]] on II (with another showdown having sacrificed to chapter III this turn
I cast [[magic missile]] choosing opponent as it's only target. Two [[showdown of the skalds]] chapter II//III triggers go on the stack, targeting Rem.
Opponent responds & casts [[power word:kill]] targeting rem.
I respond with [[play with fire]], also targeting opponent. Two more[[showdown of the skalds]] chapter II triggers go on the stack, targeting Rem.
At this point, the stack starts to resolve. Play with fire deals 3 damage as expected, taking my opponent to 6 life. Next power word kill resolves and rem dies. Then magic missile resolves, but deals zero damage. My opponent is still at 6 life, when they should be at 3.
I do not have a log file, I'm on a mac and do not have the "detailed log" option enabled.

Maybe these are the same bug with this.

I just had a board state with showdown on chapter 2 and I cast magic missiles targeting my opponents creature for 3 damage and showdown targeting my creature with a +1 counter. They killed my creature in response to the +1 counter and then Magic Missiles did no damage

addendum: I just encountered this again with a much simpler board state.
My opponent controlled a King Narfi's Betrayal on Chapter II, a Rem Kalorus that I owned (cast via the saga), and 5 lands. I controlled 4 lands.
I cast magic missle, it resolved, and did no damage.
Here's a video of the same thing happening to a streamer with a similar board state. ( a magic missle cast while a saga is on chapter II)
