How does Regenerate work in MTG?
In MTG, regenerate is like giving your creature a safety net. If it would be destroyed, whether by damage or a spell, you tap it, remove all damage from it, and it lives to fight another round. Think of it like your creature ducking at the last second!

Regenerate is basically a 'get out of death free' card for your creatures in Magic The Gathering. When you activate a regenerate ability (usually paying some mana cost), if the creature would be destroyed that turn, it isn't. Instead, it gets tapped, all damage is removed from it, and it stops being destroyed. It's great for keeping key creatures around.
Honestly, people overcomplicate it. Regenerate = creature doesn't die from damage or 'destroy' effects, but it taps. That's it.
Used regenerate in a big game once. Thought my opponent had me, but right as he dealt what he thought was the finishing blow to my creature, BOOM, regenerate kicked in. Wiped the smug look right off his face as my creature lived to see another turn. Best comeback ever.
