Vanishing is a keyword in Magic The Gathering that represents a countdown mechanic. When a creature has vanishing, it comes into play with a set number of time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, you remove a time counter. Once you remove the last one, poof! The creature vanishes from the battlefield. It's like a built-in self-destruct timer for creatures, making timing and strategy even more crucial.

Vanishing = Magic's version of an egg timer but for monsters. Once that timer hits zero, your creature goes bye-bye!

Honestly, I've always seen vanishing as a hassle. Sure, it adds strategic depth, but keeping track of those counters on top of everything else? Not my cup of tea.
