Is loss of life considered damage in MTG?
Actually, they're different! Damage can lead to loss of life, but loss of life doesn't necessarily come from damage. There's a bunch of sneaky spells and abilities out there that can reduce your life total without dealing a single point of damage. Keep an eye out!

No, they're not the same. In some cases, it can feel like splitting hairs, but in MTG, the distinction is important for gameplay. For instance, effects that prevent or redirect damage won't help against cards that just make you lose life.
Nope, loss of life isn't the same as damage in MTG. Damage can cause loss of life, but there are other ways to lose life too, without taking damage. Like, if a card says you lose life, you're not taking damage, you're just...sadly, losing life.
