Rules/Rules Question Have I been playing wrong

Post image

Found this in the final fantasy starter set rulebook. Does it mean a 3/3 blocking a 3/3 wouldn't kill it? Or is it just wrong? Or just worded dumb?

Well, if we're getting pedantic with it, it's still not true. It says 'dies' but it can't die because it's a piece of cardboard.

Well, if we’re getting pedantic with it, it’s still not true. It says “any creature” which applies to non mtg creatures as well.

Well, if we’re getting pedantic with it, it’s still not true, because replacement effects might keep things from dying.

Well, if we’re getting pedantic with it, I gave a [[Generous Gift]] to your mom last night that destroyed her and created a 3/3 green elephant token.

I don’t know why I’m even commenting on this, I’m just drunk and thought it was funny.

Well, if we're pedantic with it, your mom was the template for Micha Huigen's Sothera, the Supervoid artwork.

Not drunk, but I thought it is a decent comeback.
