Does damage dealt apply to life paid in MTG?

Nope, damage dealt and life paid are two separate things in MTG. When you pay life, you're just lowering your life total as a cost for something else (like casting a spell or activating an ability). Damage dealt, on the other hand, comes from creatures, spells, or other abilities targeting you or your creatures. So, paying life doesn't count as damage!

Definitely not. If you're paying life, that's on you. Damage comes from someone or something else trying to knock your life total down. They're like apples and oranges in the MTG universe.

As a long-time MTG player, I can confirm life paid is NOT considered damage. Paying life is more like a strategic trade-off, while damage is your opponents trying to deplete your life total directly.
