Hard no. Counters are just ways to keep track of changes to a card, not actual damage. They can represent a lot of things but never equate to direct damage.

Nope, counters aren't considered damage in Magic The Gathering. Counters are more like markers that track certain effects on cards, like +1/+1 to boost a creature's power and toughness, or -1/-1 to decrease them. Damage, on the other hand, reduces a creature's toughness or a player's life directly and is a completely different mechanic in the game.

Absolutely not. Counters are used for modifying stats or noting conditions, whereas damage directly impacts life totals and creature survivability. Mixing them up could really mess with game strategy!
