Death Begets Life 
Sorcery
Destroy all creatures and enchantments. Draw a card for each permanent destroyed this way.
"You need not mourn. Their life essence has returned to the earth, where it will eventually bloom into a new form."

Rulings (2)
- If a permanent destroyed this way goes to a zone other than a graveyard (for example, if it has a finality counter on it), it still counts as being destroyed and you’ll still draw a card.
- Permanents with indestructible aren’t destroyed this way.
