Nope, damage doesn't reduce toughness in Magic The Gathering. Instead, think of damage as something that accumulates on a creature throughout a turn. If the total damage equals or exceeds a creature's toughness, bye-bye creature! But the toughness number stays the same unless another effect says otherwise.

Gotta chime in here - damage doesn't reduce a creature's toughness in MTG. It just marks the damage until the end of the turn. If it's lethal (equals or more than the creature's toughness), the creature is destroyed.

Actually, damage does NOT reduce toughness. Damage is marked on a creature and is checked against its toughness for lethal damage. Toughness only changes if a card effect specifically alters it.
