Does 'Destroy' Deal Damage in MTG?
Nope, 'destroy' in Magic The Gathering does not deal damage. It's a direct shortcut to the graveyard for a creature, bypassing damage and damage-related effects altogether. It's more like saying 'poof' and the creature is gone, no harm to its tough exterior.

Destroy =/= Damage. It's as simple as that in MTG. You're not chipping away at something's health; you're erasing it from the current equation, no muss, no fuss.
Nah, 'destroy' skips the whole damage step. Direct to graveyard, do not pass go, do not collect 200 life points.
Absolutely not. 'Destroy' is the game's way of removing a creature from the battlefield without bothering with damage. Think of it as the difference between knocking something over (damage) and making it vanish into thin air (destroy).
