Short answer is yes. -1/-1 counters reduce a creature's toughness. Hit 0 and it's goodbye creature.

Gonna have to disagree with the naysayers. Negative counters are more than just a nuisance; they're a legit game tactic. I've seen many a mighty creature fall to a well-placed -1/-1. So, absolutely, negative counters can send creatures packing to the graveyard.

Yep, negative counters can definitely take down creatures in Magic The Gathering. If a creature's toughness drops to 0 or less because of those pesky negative counters, it's straight to the graveyard for them. So if you're plotting some devious strategies, including negative counters might be a slick move!
