Are negative counters the same as damage in Magic the Gathering?
Nope, negative counters and damage are totally different beasts in MTG. Negative counters stay on a creature permanently (or until removed by some effect) reducing its power and toughness, think of it as a lasting wound. Damage, on the other hand, goes away at the end of the turn. It's like the difference between a scar and a bruise!

No, they're not the same. Negative counters are more severe since they can permanently weaken a creature, unlike damage that heals after a turn.
Gotta disagree with the confusion. Damage doesn't stick around - it's healed up at end of turn. Negative counters? Those are like bad tattoos for your creatures, permanent unless you've got a specific trick up your sleeve.
