How does regenerate in Magic The Gathering work?
Regenerate in MTG is like hitting the undo button on your creature's demise, but with conditions. When you use a regeneration ability or spell on a creature, it means that the next time that creature would be destroyed that turn (say, by damage or a spell that says "destroy"), it isn't. Instead, you tap it, remove all damage from it, and remove it from combat. Think of it as the creature narrowly dodging the grim reaper!

Regeneration doesn't work if the creature is hit with something that says it can't be regenerated. So if you see "destroy target creature. It can't be regenerated," your regeneration shield won't save it.
Short and sweet: Regenerate in MTG means your creature gets a second chance at life instead of going to the graveyard. Just tap it, clean off the damage, and it's out of combat.
