How do toughness and power work in combat in MTG?
In Magic The Gathering, 'power' is how much damage a creature can deal in combat, while 'toughness' is how much damage a creature can take before it's destroyed. During combat, your creature's power is compared against the opponent's creature's toughness to see if it can destroy it, and vice versa. If a creature's toughness is reduced to zero or less, bye-bye creature!

Power is the offense, toughness is the defense, simple as that. A creature with higher power hits hard but needs enough toughness to survive the counterattack.
Actually, power's not just for attacking other creatures. If your creature's power is higher than the opponent's life total and it goes unblocked, you could win the game right there! Always look at the power/toughness ratio but remember, a well-timed spell can change everything in MTG.
