Dealing with direct damage in Magic The Gathering can be tricky, but there are a few strategies. First, try using cards that gain you life, like 'Life Goes On' or 'Rest for the Weary,' to offset the damage. Counter spells can stop direct damage spells in their tracks. 'Negate' or 'Essence Scatter' are good picks. Don't forget about creatures with lifelink to both defend and regain life!

Use protection spells and abilities that can shield you from direct damage. 'Heroic Intervention' or 'The Wanderer' planeswalker can make you or your permanents invulnerable to damage for a turn. Sometimes the best defense is a good, well, defense!

Just counter it! Use counter spells like 'Counterspell' or 'Dovin's Veto' to stop direct damage spells before they hit you. It's satisfying to say 'nope' right to their face.

Honestly, just race them. If you can't beat the direct damage, outpace it. Build a faster deck that puts your opponent on the defensive, forcing them to use their damage spells on your creatures instead of your life total.
