It’s usually something like “{cardname} deals 1 damage to target player.” so you know the source is the card, but it can also be “Target player loses 1 life.” in which case there is no source. This is important for effects like “Prevent one damage from a black source.” or “Whenever a Human deals damage to you, destroy it.”
Also creating a token is usually an extra sentence with text like “put a 0/1 green Plant creature token onto the battlefield”. It’s very precise about it’s color and even mentions if it’s colorless.
“Deal” is bad. The cards are always clear about the source of the damage.
literally havent played in 10+ years lol
