Serra the Benevolent Emblem not working
While playing against an opponent I had enough counters to user Serra the Benevolent's emblem ability which states, "As long as you control a creature, damage that would reduce your life total less than 1 instead reduces it to 1." My opponent was using a sliver deck and had leeching sliver on the battlefield which states, "That whenever a sliver you control attacks, defending player loses 1 life.".
I had three creatures on the battlefield while the emblem was in effect and lost due to Leeching Sliver's ability.

Because losing life does not equal taking damage. Damage to a player usually causes loss of life, but not always, and just losing life is just losing life, no damage involved.
