   It has been noticed several times that M19 destruction cards are not destroying prevent damage (indestructible) creatures anymore.
   As it is widespread among the set and never happened before, i guess it was made on purpose to get closer to the paper mechanics.
  As i'm not really convinced it was a good idea to introduce that change to PQ, i wondered what do you players think about it?

    Prevent damage is NOT supposed to prevent destroy effect cards. We’ve had this bug once before.

       Yeah you're right,  it also happened at the beginning of amonkhet if I'm not confused, but i guess it came from the creature design itself, not from the spells design (some of them were already there before AMK).
       It looks like it now comes from the spells design, as prevent damage creatures are still being destructed by older spells.

    We've had this bug pop up several times over the years. It appears to be an issue with how kill spells are coded, and they have to be individually fixed to properly kill prevent damage creatures (same with how they need to be individually coded so that the AI won't target its own creatures with them)
