Nope, blocking itself doesn't deal damage. Only creatures that are in combat and have the power to deal damage will actually deal combat damage. Blocking just means your creature is stepping up to take or possibly dish out damage based on its power.

Totally, when a creature blocks or gets blocked in MTG, it definitely counts as combat damage. It's all part of the combat phase where attackers and blockers do their dance and deal damage to each other. Remember though, just because a creature is blocking, doesn't mean it'll deal damage back if it doesn't have enough power, but it sure can take damage!

Quick tip: yes, blocking does result in combat damage! But keep in mind, creatures with 0 power can block but won't deal any damage unless they have some ability boosting their power.
