Questing Beast
Delif's Cone
Just hoping to understand a minor interaction - Questing Beast's combat damage can't be prevented, but can it be prevented from being assigned? Thanks!
"no combat damage is assigned"

Accepted Answer
There is no prevention effect on Delif's Cone. It will ignore any "can't be prevented" effects like the one on Questing Beast.
Go to full post615. Prevention Effects
615.1. Some continuous effects are prevention effects. Like replacement effects (see rule 614), prevention effects apply continuously as events happen—they aren't locked in ahead of time. Such effects watch for a damage event that would happen and completely or partially prevent the damage that would be dealt. They act like "shields" around whatever they're affecting.
615.1a Effects that use the word "prevent" are prevention effects. Prevention effects use "prevent" to indicate what damage will not be dealt.

Why bother with mere rulings when so many answers can be found in the Rules?
