Yep, indestructible creatures in MTG can still bite the dust! They don't die from damage or effects that say "destroy," but they can be sent packing by being exiled, getting -/- until their toughness is 0, or if something says “sacrifice a creature”. Gotta watch out for those sneaky removals!

Short answer: Yes. Deathtouch? No effect. But exile or reduce toughness to 0? Bye bye indestructible!

Nope, indestructible means it's a tank. Wrong. They can be exiled or hit with enough -1/-1 to effectively 'kill' them. Common mistake.

Actually most people get this wrong thinking indestructible means invincible. Nope, get that toughness to zero and even an indestructible creature taps out of the game. Lost my fav card this way. Sad day.
