A card that is returned from the field to the hand or Deck, or, that is sent to the Graveyard as a cost or Tribute, is NOT considered “destroyed”. Cards already in the Graveyard and banished cards cannot be destroyed.

The top left Zone is the Field Zone. The top right Zone is the Graveyard.

In the book, you note that cemeteries as we know them today first emerged in the 1830s, with the rural cemetery movement. As you mention, Americans had always buried their dead, but did so in churchyards, town commons, or municipal burial grounds. Why the shift to these larger cemeteries?

Sending cards to the Graveyard If a player already controls a Field Spell Card, the existing Field Spell Card will be sent to the Graveyard immediately before that player activates another Field Spell Card. A monster will be sent to the Graveyard after its Summon is negated, if it has not already been moved somewhere.

a card is considered sent to the graveyard when it moves to the graveyard from the field, deck, hand ,remove from play or extra deck. discard refers only to cards sent from hand to graveyard, and only if at the end of turn because of hand limit, or from an effect that specifically says “discard”.

You can’t “discard” cards from the field. Foolish Burial “sends” Commandent to the graveyard as opposed to “discarding” him. Regardless, you don’t get to search for Necrovalley because you must use Commandent’s own effect to discard him from your hand to the graveyard to search for Necrovalley.

While Tributed cards are normally sent to the Graveyard, some card effects can cause Tributed cards to be moved to another location instead. Even if they are not sent to the Graveyard, they are still considered to be Tributed.

If it’s milled, discarded, destroyed, or sent by search, then yes. There are only two ways i can think of where it may not count: Detached as an overlay unit: if you have Sangan as an overlay unit, and detach, it’s effect will not activate, as it’s considered to not be on the field.

Moving a card from the library to the graveyard is not discarding; it’s commonly referred to as “milling” cards. Additionally, effects that cause discard will explicitly use the word. In summary, no. The effects of Mind Sculpt Buy will not cause any of the abilities on Waste Not Buy to trigger (not activate).

the only way to beat them is to run a deck that loses to everything else. Well balance control deck fully counter mill deck, and does well against many deck.

No, milling means putting cards directly from their library into the graveyard. Indeed. OP, this means that not only does mill not count as drawing, it doesn’t count as discarding either.

For a player to mill N cards, they put the top N cards from their library into their graveyard. The term alludes to the card Millstone, which was first printed in Antiquities and was the first card to feature this mechanic.

702.52a Dredge is a static ability that functions only while the card with dredge is in a player’s graveyard. 702.52b A player with fewer cards in their library than the number required by a dredge ability can’t mill any of them this way.

Milling is Magic slang for putting cards from the top of a player’s library directly into that player’s graveyard. The card was named Millstone. In the beginning, you “millstoned” another player, but with time “millstone” became “mill” as “mill” is actually a word, and a verb at that, so it sounded better.

The ability causes life gain whenever a source with lifelink deals any damage, not just combat damage.

Mill decks are decks which use milling to defeat the opponent. Control-type mill decks focus on forcing the opponent to draw a large number of cards, in order to accelerate the exhaustion of their deck, using premature fatigue damage as a direct means of defeating the opponent.

Planeswalkers aren’t creatures, so they can’t attack or block. However, planeswalkers can be attacked (directly and indirectly via the redirect of non-combat damage from the player to the planeswalker).
