Yeah sacrifice doesn't destroy the creature, it just puts it into the graveyard. You can even sacrifice indestructible creatures.

Right!  "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."

Sacrifice, Legend Rule, zero toughness all do not destroy a creature or permanent, so regen has no effect.

Confirmed. 🔨

So does a sacrifice mean a death of a creature? example:

{gravecrawler} and {grimgrin corpse-born}
would a {tragic slip}'s morbid be in effect?

Yes, If a creature was sacrificed, it "died" and will trigger death related effects.

"Dies" means "is put into the graveyard from the battlefield," and the term "dies" as shorthand for that phrase only started appearing on cards very recently.

I'm really glad they started using it too.  Gets rid of so much extra text.

Yea I like "dies" better than "when this creature enters the Graveyard from the battlefield."
So much simpler. Lol

Just to confirm, this means sacrificing would activated undying yes? Seeing as the creature still "dies"?
