Kalitas vs indestructible

[Lunis22]

I have noticed that the new set has some new ways of dealing with indestructible. After reading the effect of kalitas, I am confused as to whether his effect is yet another way of doing this. [If a non token creature would die exile it instead.] this to me says that it would work to exile cards that would usually immune to a cards destroy effects due to indestructible. This belief is derived from the fact that other cards that deal with effects of when a card dies does not specify [would die], just simply when this or another creature dies, this action happens. Any thoughts or rulings about this case that I have missed?

First off, while it is a question about a standard card, this would probably fit best in "rules".

To answer your question, let's take a look at what happens:

702.12b: A permanent with indestructible can't be destroyed. Such permanents aren't destroyed by lethal damage, and they ignore the state-based action that checks for lethal damage (see rule 704.5g).

{kalitas, traitor of geth}.

In irther words, because it's indestructible it wouldn't die so it isn't exiled.

In irther words, because it's indestructible it wouldn't die so it isn't exiled.

But it can still be killed with sacrifice and -1/-1 counters, in which case Kalitas (or Kletis as my local card shop calls him) would exile the indestructible creature.

True. It doesn't add a new way to get rid of it, though.

As an aside, my apologies for my half answer.

To explain the difference, "would die" means that Kalitas' ability is a replacement effect - so the card never hits the graveyard, and the replacement can't be responded to. Importantly, "dies" triggers don't happen.
"Whenever a creature dies" means it's a trigger, so it uses the stack and can be responded to normally. Other "dies" effects can also trigger.
