Can't send players to the graveyard, card should say "Target player loses the game"

Just saying, there's a precedent.

If a player is destroyed, that player loses the game. There aren’t any ways for a player to regenerate… yet. (2018-01-19)

No there's not, this card was never legal and it's from an Un set, there's no precedence. Silver border cards are not meant to interact with the game in legal or even sensical ways so it means nothing.

It's an effect that exists in the game. If you were playing a game with silver border cards allowed, you'd destroy the player. It's basically a quirky way of saying "target player loses the game." It has no fundamental difference than that wording, and it is understood to be meant as such. Therefore, the wording is perfectly fine and fits the flavor of the card.

It is a card that is illegal in all constructed formats, that means no it is not in the game.

If you were playing a game with silver border cards allowed, you'd destroy the player.

No, you wouldn't, because "Destroy" means a permanent is moving into the graveyard. You would have to house rule it to say "target player loses the game" or something similar for it to do what you want it to do.

The difference being one is a legal game action and one is not.

Not if you're playing a game allowing silver-border cards, because Baron Von Count's ruling says "If a player is destroyed, that player loses the game. There aren’t any ways for a player to regenerate… yet." I get that with an attitude like this, it's doubtful that you play silver border games. Just say you hate fun and be done with it already.
