A guy Bile Blighted my Boros Reckoner and i used Boros Charm, but it died. Actuaslly cost me the match. Who cares if the thing has 0 toughness, its indestructible, right? Wrong. I'm pretty sure an indestructible creature can also be sacrificed, which makes no sense to me, but whatever, at least i know that rule. Does exile kill an indestructible? I think it does, which is also very dumb.
-1/-1, in other words effects that reduce toughness to zero, don't destroy creatures, but they still kill them. Their defense is zero, so by game rules they go to the graveyard. Nothing can help that. You also can't regenerate out of -1/-1 counters.

Whats the big deal about black lotus you ask? Well you see, there is no big deal about it. It IS the big deal.
Every creature should have some kind of answer or the game wouldn't be very fun. Fleecemane Lion is the closest thing to non-interactive but can still be dealt with with a Whelming Wave or Cyclonic Rift and you can kill it in response to going monstrous.
Then there's Aetherling which is arguably even more difficult to deal with. There is Pithing Needle and just making it blink every turn, it's not indestructible, doesn't have hexproof, but is arguably the most difficult creature to deal with.
Yeah having a creature that had literally no answer to it would kinda break the game. Even Aetherling has some drawback becuause he doesn't get to be on the field for the turn.

Well outside of Bileblight and Drown In Sorrow, -X/-X Effects aren't really played. So against just about other removal spell (Doom Blade, Ultimate Price, Hero's Downfall, Magma Jet, Shock, Dreadbore, Abrupt Decay, Supreme Verdict, whatever-removal-spells-I'm-forgetting-here) indestructible laughs at.
Indestructible as noted protects from destroy and lethal damage. It can still be bounced, exiled, put somewhere else, tapped down, stolen, pacified, sacrificed, minused out, etc. There's reasons for this. First and foremost is so indestructible isn't the end all, be all of invincibility. Even progenitus (protection from everything) has things that will catch it. A board wipe will get it. A big enough mutilate will kill it. Sacrifice will do the trick which is a good thing so random creature with a sacrifice ability plus boros charm (or anything else that gives indestructible) doesn't just go infinite. Indestructible literally means what it reads: cannot be destroyed. That doesn't mean untouchable even by a stretch.
The cards in standard that come to mind that deal with indestructible include far // away, devour flesh, celestial flare, detention sphere, banisher priest, any of the pacifism/arrest type cards, bounce which is mostly cyclonic rift, domestication, liliana of the dark realms -3, bile blight, drown in sorrow, gild and those white exile spells that are even slower than it, selesnya charm if the thing is big enough... Blah, blah, blah.
