Serve test. Unsure whether the flavor theme this represents would make it into the set.
"Whenever" and "instead" don't go into the same ability more than 9 out of 10 times and this time is not different.
You can only trigger on events that occur, never on events that would occur.
It's neat that serve is not actually done for with the damage redirection. You could easily refer to the "served creature" in further abilities.
Like banding a single servant can eat 13 damage if necessary - no matter the servant's size.
