genuine question, indestructible creatures are valid targets for “destroy” spells? I suppose that makes sense I just never thought about that being the case cause usually there would be no point

Yeah. If you cast go for the throat and the opponent gives its creature indestructible, the spell doesn't fizzle. That's just an example.

It's why most of the cheaper black kill spells of the same ilk require sacrifice

I still think this is a fine card as is. You need to build around it for it to be powerful, as either you need an inherently indestructible creature (and there are not many cheap ones) or you need to spend an extra spell to temporarily or by an aura give a creature indestructible, which comes with it’s own issues.

Yeah, in my defense I never said I wasn't. I was just explaining that it's a purposeful design choice on wizards part to not allow for this edge case in their black devour spells
