ajani steadfast emblem and valkmira protector's shield
Ajani Steadfast emblem says: If a source would deal damage to you or a planeswalker you control, prevent all but 1 of that damage.
Valkmira Protector's Shield says: If a source would deal damage to you or a permanent you control, prevent 1 of that damage.
Together, as first the emblem should take priority and then valkmira, planeswalkers and Me, the player, should take no damage.
Yet in the game I still take 1 damage.

Disabling the autoordering of triggers and replacement effects is something that EVERY player should do once they have gathered some game experience and feel comfortable with the basic mechanics. Autoordering is a tool of new players to help them not get overwhelmed. Lose the crutch and start walking by yourself already. The algortithm is stupid, it cannot read your mind, nor can it accurately assess the optimal ordering. It simply applies GENERAL principles programmed into it, but it won't and can't play the game for you.
As a side note, applying Valkmira first is usually the best course. Usually. You hit a case where it is not. General principle meet exception.
