@Nosidam3389 Depends on when you destroy the creature. Players receive priority after the active player has finished declaring their attackers. They are officially "attacking" at this point. You can destroy it here and will take no damage.
You can wait until after declare blockers, where players once again receive priority. You can destroy it here and will take no damage.
I believe priority is received after combat damage is assigned but before the post-combat main phase. The creature is still an attacking creature at this point, so you can destroy it, but it already dealt damage to you.

I see people comment on on exiling, or Oblivion Ring and Path to Exile not being white colors but...
Do you know what exile means? To banish someone from their native country. And I, for one, thing that's a very white thing, as you need a civilization to be banished, and white is the most civilized in terms of flavor. Exiling, in MTG, is literally sending the opponent some where else instead of killing them.
In terms of Path, it's simple. You're sending someone somewhere else. In terms of O-RIng, you're exiling something, generally temporarily if O-Ring is played without tricks, to a pocket dimension of sorts, almost like a prison. If that prison is broken, the exiled thing is released.
Flavor wise, Exile is VERY white, so I see no problem with it. I can agree, however, that attacking clauses are also very white, and yes, maybe Path should have had an attacking clause as well. Although, then it would be almost worse than Exile/a... (see all)
