Does a sacrifice count as destroy in MTG?
Nope, sacrificing a card does NOT count as destroying it in Magic The Gathering. When you sacrifice a card, you're essentially paying a cost or following an instruction. Destroy, on the other hand, is a specific action that usually comes from spells, abilities, or combat damage. So, if you've got a creature that says it's indestructible, you can't destroy it, but you sure can sacrifice it!

Actually, thinking they're the same is a common misconception. Sacrificing a creature is something you choose to do (or are forced to by a card's effect), and it gets around indestructible since it's not considered 'destroying'. Learned this the hard way at my first tournament.
Short answer: No. Sacrificing is not the same as destroying. Different rules apply!
