Does exile count as dead in Magic The Gathering?
Nope, 'exiled' in MTG doesn't mean 'dead.' When a card is exiled, it's considered removed from the game entirely, which is different from being in the graveyard. So, cards and abilities that interact with dead creatures (those in the graveyard) won't see exiled cards. Think of exile as the card being in a whole other dimension where graveyard rules don't apply!

Exiled =/= Dead. Cards that are exiled miss out on all the graveyard fun. They're not considered dead, so you can't resurrect them or count them for death triggers. Remember, exile is the game's way of saying, 'You, go sit in the corner.'
Short answer: No. In MTG, exiled cards aren't dead. They're in timeout.
