Does dying only apply to creatures in MTG?
Nah, 'dying' in MTG isn't just for creatures. It's a bit of a misnomer because it mainly applies to creatures hitting the graveyard from the battlefield. But, technically, any card (like artifacts, enchantments, or planeswalkers) can 'die' if we're talking about moving to the graveyard. It's just that creatures have the most drama about it!

Actually, 'dying' specifically refers to creatures going to the graveyard from the battlefield. Other types of cards, like artifacts and enchantments, don't 'die'; they're simply put into the graveyard from play. So yeah, dying is a creature-exclusive event.
Only creatures 'die' in the literal game term sense. Cards like instants and sorceries just go to the graveyard after they're used; they don't 'die' because they weren't alive on the battlefield.
