Ability Loss Vs Damage

[smr1990]

Anyone know the answer to this? 

These are seen as separate/different, right? The reason I ask is because of the Emry's MLE Persona. It states,

"When constructing your deck, you may not include Special cards in your deck that deal damage directly to your opponent."

So that means that Emry's can't use cards like TCG Street Punk (Target player takes 1 damage.)

But Emrys could use cards like Bassett and Hotchkiss which says "Discard any number of attacks. For each attack you discard, both players lose 1 Ability."

Thanks for any help guys!

Yep you are spot on. Damage is different to ability loss. So Emrys could use Bassett but not street punk.

Ability loss (type 1 can’t be stopped (by type 1cards some type 2 cards are legal in type 2)- type 2 very few cards - really? Is an example)

Damage can be reduced or dropped down to zero (negated) by numerous cards.

Above is spot on just adding
