Damage is impairment or destruction that a creature, Planeswalker, or Player may suffer.
- Damage dealt to creatures is removed from the creature at the end of each turn, unless the total damage dealt to that creature over the course of the turn equals or exceeds its toughness, which causes the creature to be destroyed and put into the graveyard unless another effect replaces this. An amount of damage larger than or equal to the toughness of a creature is called lethal damage.
- Damage dealt to a Planeswalker causes that many loyalty counters to be removed from it.
- Damage dealt to a player causes him or her to lose that much life.[1]
- Damage to a player may be redirected to a Planeswalker that player controls provided that the player who controls the source of damage is an opponent of the player who controls the Planeswalker.
While most damage is caused by the combat between creatures, or creatures attacking players, there are also many cards which can deal damage directly to creatures or players. These cards are usually red, e.g. Lightning Bolt.
