    Default mtg rules destroyed regenerate

    I'm confused on the rules about destroy and regenerate. how can a creature that has been destroyed become regenerated?

    701.6c - A regeneration effect replaces a destruction event. See Rule 701.11, "Regenerate."

    701.11 - Regenerate
    701.11a - If the effect of a resolving spell or ability regenerates a permanent, it creates a replacement effect that protects the permanent the next time it would be destroyed this turn. In this case, "Regenerate <-permanent->" means "The next time <-permanent-> would be destroyed this turn, instead remove all damage marked on it and tap it. If it's an attacking or blocking creature, remove it from combat." [CompRules 2009/07/08]
    701.11b - If the effect of a static ability regenerates a permanent, it replaces destruction with an alternate effect each time that permanent would be destroyed. In this case, "Regenerate <-permanent->" means "Instead remove all damage marked on <-permanent-> and tap it. If it's an attacking or blocking creature, remove it from combat." [CompRules 2009/07/08]

    You can alwasy regenerate from a destroy effect UNLESS the card specificaly says you can't. There are lots of cards which say Destroy ______ it can't be regenerated.

    On a side note if you ever run into old cards from Revised or before they had a special keyword "bury". Back then you could always regenerate from destroy and bury meant destroyed and cannot regnerate. Since then they just say "Destroy ______ it can't be regenerated."
