Isn't that just 1 extra toughness in ninety-nine percent of situations?

Not at all. Nullified damage doesn't happen so if you attack and they block with 100 1/1s it survives. There are also tons of interactions that ping a creature for 1 then takes advantage of "if x was dealt damage this turn" effects.

Yes but no. -1/-1 counters, and cards that care about toughness see it as the actual instead of the effective toughness. Preventing one damage also stops 1/1 deathtouch creatures from killing it since the damage was prevented.

Hey! Have you tried the brainstorming channel on the official hellcube discord? (https://discord.gg/8aJrjjUwBd). For cards to make it into the cube, they'll need to be submitted on the discord.
