Does countering a creature destroy the creature in MTG?
Countering =/= destruction. It's more like ghosting on your creature's party invitation.

Nope, countering a creature spell in Magic The Gathering doesn't destroy it; it actually prevents the creature from ever hitting the battlefield in the first place. Think of it like stopping the creature at the gate rather than knocking on its door and then punching it in the face.
Actually, when you counter a creature in MTG, it's like the creature never existed. It goes directly to the graveyard without affecting the board, so 'destroy' isn't the right term here.
Nah, destruction happens on the battlefield. Countering is the pre-game block; it never even gets to play.
