Does Damage Reduce Toughness in MTG?
Nope, damage doesn't actually reduce a creature's toughness in MTG. It just deals damage to a creature, which accumulates until the cleanup step. If that damage equals or surpasses the creature's toughness, bye-bye creature! But the creature's toughness number doesn't change on the card.

Hot take: People get too caught up on damage and toughness. Just hit your opponent's life total to 0 and call it a win!
Yeah, so from what I've seen playing MTG, damage doesn't directly lower a creature's toughness. It's more like the creature can take damage up to its toughness before it's destroyed. Think of it like health points, not a reduction in stats.
False. Damage doesn't reduce toughness. Toughness stays the same unless affected by an ability or spell. Damage just accumulates.
