What constitutes as "Combat Damage"
Asked by Nasty_Nate 12 years ago
I'm running a populate deck, my opponnent casts Mizzium Mortars or Bonfire of the Damned woul I be able to counter with a card:Druid's Deliverance Fog ?
Combat damage is damage that creatures do to each-other as a result of attacking/blocking
anything else is non-combat
fighting is non-combatlive-wire lash is non-combat
Ashmouth Hound 's ability is non-combat.
a good rule of thumb is that any damage that's delivered in a way that vanilla creatures can't deliver on their own, is non-combat.

@Sam_I_am: You left something out.
Combat damage is damage that creatures deal to one another or to defending players/planeswalkers during the combat damage step. Damage caused by spells or abilities is NOT combat damage.

Only damage done by a creature that attacks is considered combat damage.

@CrimsonKing THis is not true. Blocking creatures also deal combat damage. I bet you kew that, just forgot, so I only wanted to clarify.

@Sam_I_am: Why does it matter who gets an insignificant recognition when the answer was provided regardless?

I was first, so I thought I'd get it. That insignificant recognition is the only recognition some of us get! lol

No because that would constitute non-combat damage. Combat damage is any damage caused by attacking creatures. Thus if I swing 2 5/5's, that would be 10 combat damage. Burn spells are considered non-combat, as stated above. I hope this helps. =)
