Does 0 toughness kill indestructible?

Yes, an indestructible creature does die if its toughness is reduced to 0 or less by effects like -X/-X counters or spells, because it's a state-based action (being put in the graveyard for 0 toughness), not "destruction" or lethal damage, which indestructible prevents. Indestructible stops "destroy" effects and lethal damage, but not exile, sacrifice, or 0 toughness, which sends them straight to the graveyard.

What happens when a creature has 0 toughness?

When a creature has 0 or less toughness in Magic: The Gathering, it is immediately put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action, regardless of being indestructible, because it cannot exist on the battlefield with non-positive toughness. This process is considered "dying," triggering death-related abilities, but it's not from damage or sacrifice, meaning indestructible or regeneration effects won't stop it unless the toughness is raised above zero first.

Can you regenerate a creature with 0 toughness?

Regenerate works when a creature is dealt lethal damage or destroyed. When a creature's toughness is reduced to 0 like in this case, it is neither dealt lethal damage nor destroyed. It simply dies because its toughness is 0 or less. So the answer is that regenerate won't even "do its thing".

Can a creature with 0 power have Deathtouch?

No, deathtouch does not work with 0 power in Magic: The Gathering because the creature must deal at least 1 damage for deathtouch's effect to trigger, and a 0-power creature deals no damage at all, making it useless for killing other creatures via deathtouch unless its power is increased. Effects that reduce power to 0, like [[Hydrosurge]], effectively nullify deathtouch.

Are diamonds really indestructible?

No, diamonds are not indestructible; while they are the hardest natural material (resisting scratches), they are brittle and can chip, crack, or shatter from sharp impacts, concentrated force, or hitting hard surfaces, especially along natural cleavage planes or at sharp points in certain cuts like marquise or pear. Think of hardness as scratch resistance (what diamonds excel at) versus toughness (resistance to breaking), which is where they can fail, despite their legendary hardness.

How to bypass indestructible MTG?

To bypass indestructible in Magic: The Gathering, you can't technically "destroy" it, but you can remove it by exiling, forcing sacrifice, or reducing toughness to 0, using effects that exile (like Path to Exile), forcing sacrifice (like Cruel Edict), or giving it -X/-X counters (like Dismember or -1/-1 counters or -X/-X effects.

Can I sacrifice an indestructible?

Yes, sacrificing an indestructible creature in Magic: The Gathering works because "indestructible" only prevents "destroy" effects and lethal damage; it doesn't stop other forms of removal like sacrificing, exiling, returning to hand (bouncing), or having toughness reduced to zero. Sacrificing sends the permanent to the graveyard, which bypasses the "cannot be destroyed" clause.

Can you bury an indestructible creature?

No, "bury" (an old Magic: The Gathering term meaning "destroy and it can't be regenerated") does not get around indestructible, because indestructible means a permanent cannot be destroyed by effects or lethal damage. Indestructible creatures ignore "destroy" effects and lethal damage, so a spell trying to bury them simply fails unless it removes the indestructible ability first.
