Does damage affect toughness in MTG?
Nope, damage doesn't reduce toughness in MTG. Think about damage as temporary dings on a creature until the turn ends. If a creature with 5 toughness takes 4 damage, it’s hanging by a thread but still rocking that original 5 toughness until cleanup.

Damage doesn’t lower toughness in MTG. It’s like your creatures get 'bruises' that last until the end of the turn. They need to take damage equal to or greater than their toughness in one turn to be knocked out.
Actually, damage and toughness are separate! Damage accumulates over a turn and gets wiped clean at the end. So, if your creature can survive the turn, they live to fight another day, full toughness intact.
Nah, damage doesn't touch toughness. Think of toughness as how much damage a creature can take in a turn before it keels over, not how much it 'physically' has.
