Does Toxic Affect Creatures in MTG?
Yep, toxic affects creatures in Magic The Gathering! Toxic is a mechanic that means when a creature with toxic deals combat damage to a player, that player gets a number of poison counters equal to the toxic value. So, it doesn't directly 'affect' other creatures, but rather it targets the player's life total in a different way. Regular combat damage and effects can still take out creatures though!

Toxic? More like 'sneaky damage'! It bypasses regular life points and stacks up poison counters on the player instead. Had a game where one tiny toxic creature sneaked through and slowly but surely sealed the deal. Watch out for those!
Short answer: No. Toxic targets players, not creatures. So, if you're looking to wipe out your opponent's creatures, you'll need to look into other mechanics or spells. Magic The Gathering is all about combining those strategies!
