Overkill and Zack interaction
Sacrificed Zack to give Ultima indestructible to counter Overkill, but Ultima died anyway. Lost a draft to it which is fun

Not destroyed, put into the graveyard. For having 0 or less toughness. Which is not destruction, so indestructible doesn't help.

Overkill (FIN) Does not work as intended, it does not behave correctly when facing indestructible cards.
To reproduce: Cast Overkill on a card with indestructible and it will be destroyed.

Death by Overkill is not destruction, so being indestructible will not save the creature. The creature dies for having 0 or less toughness, which is a state based action, which does not involve destroying the creature.
704.5f If a creature has toughness 0 or less, it’s put into its owner’s graveyard. Regeneration can’t
replace this event.(The reason regeneration can't replace this event is because regeneration replaces destruction, but not dying in general.)
