Does Julia Stern's forced damage ability fire before the damage is placed, so it can reduce that damage?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. Her 'would be dealt' timing resolves before the damage is placed, so if she has no snare to remove, the damage is reduced to 0. A 'when damage is dealt' trigger would be too late, since the damage is already placed.
