Do cards that have destroy effects do damage also?

Asked by MTG_DualDeckmaster 12 years ago

I want to know because I was wondering if Safe Passage would protect an opponent's creature I was trying to Murder.

Do cards like Murder deal lethal damage, or just straight up destroy?

Remula says... Accepted answer #1

They just outright destroy. No damage is dealt by a destroy affect.

Thanks. I've been trying to tell my friend this forever.
