701.8 Destroy ☆

• ☆ 701.8a 🔗 To destroy a permanent, move it from the battlefield to its owner’s graveyard.
• ☆ 701.8b 🔗 The only ways a permanent can be destroyed are as a result of an effect that uses the word “destroy” or as a result of the state-based actions that check for lethal damage (see rule 704.5g) or damage from a source with deathtouch (see rule 704.5h). If a permanent is put into its owner’s graveyard for any other reason, it hasn’t been “destroyed.” (refs: 704.5g, 704.5h)
• ☆ 701.8c 🔗 A regeneration effect replaces a destruction event. See rule 701.19, “Regenerate.” (refs: 701.19)
