Damage doesn't stick around forever in MTG! At the end of each turn, all damage on creatures magically heals up. So, your bruised 3/3 will be back to fighting form next turn.

Some creatures and spells can deal 'non-combat damage,' which means they can zap things without fighting. Handy for picking off pesky creatures or finishing off a player.

Nah, damage is easy - hit things until they stop moving. If it's big, hit it harder or use a spell. Just make sure you hit harder than they hit back.

In MTG, damage is pretty straightforward but nuanced! When creatures battle, they deal damage equal to their power. So, if your 3/3 squares off with a 2/2, your creature deals 3 damage, potentially taking out the 2/2, which only deals 2 back. Any damage to a player chips away at their life total, typically starting at 20. Spells can also deal direct damage to creatures or players. Keep in mind, unless it has trample, excess combat damage doesn't spill over to the player from a creature.
