Does a Creature Die When Exiled in MTG?
Short and sweet: No, being exiled isn't the same as dying. Graveyard? Nope. Exiled creatures are more like being grounded in their room with no dinner.

Nope, when a creature gets exiled in Magic The Gathering, it's not considered dead. Exile is more like banishing it to another dimension. It's out of the game and doesn't hit the graveyard, so no dying happened — it's just chilling in exile, probably sipping on a cosmic latte.
Actually, exiling a creature is the MTG equivalent of sending it to the Shadow Realm. So, no, it doesn't die, it's just off the board and away from play entirely. Graveyard effects don't trigger, because technically, the creature didn't 'die'.
