Expansion card questions: Is there a functional difference between the phrase “take 1 damage” from Focused Rage and “deal 1 damage”…

Question

Is there a functional difference between the phrase “take 1 damage” from Focused Rage and “deal 1 damage” from Battle Fury? Do the costs need to be paid in both cases?

Answer

The words “take” and “deal” are used interchangeably here. In either case, if you were to cancel the damage, then you would have not paid the full cost and you would not get to resolve the rest of the card.
