Dies and died are descriptive terms on Magic cards, which replace the phrase "is put into a graveyard from the battlefield" or "has been put into a graveyard from the battlefield". In contrast to the similar destroy, these are not keyword actions. Their main function is to be used as a condition for triggerred abilities. As such it mirrors enters the battlefield effects.[1]

It used to be exclusive to creatures while other card types still use the old phrasing. As of Core Set 2019, a planeswalker is also considered to "die" when sent from the battlefield to the graveyard (Ajani’s Last Stand).
