Indestructible is a powerful defensive tool that shrugs off combat damage, burn, and most removal spells, making it great for resilient threats and key lands. Be aware that it does not stop exile, sacrifice, bounce, or -X/-X effects that reduce toughness to zero. Pairing Indestructible with board wipes lets you sweep the table while keeping your own creatures.

FAQ

Can an Indestructible creature die from lethal combat damage?
No. Indestructible prevents destruction from damage, so even lethal combat damage will not kill the creature.
Does Indestructible stop a creature from dying to -X/-X effects?
No. A creature with 0 or less toughness is put into the graveyard as a state-based action, which is not destruction, so Indestructible does not save it.
