No card databases are of any help.

Pre fifth edition red burn spell.

Deal damage to a creature. If it dies because of this spell, it is removed from the game instead.

What is the cards name? What is the current wording? What zone does the creature go to if it dies, under 2023 rules / can cards that affect exile "touch" the crrature burned by the spell?

@Mendie_Taoma Disintegrate?
@pharmacistjudge @Mendie_Taoma That's the only one that fits that I can see from a scryfall search (red, instant or sorcery, says 'damage' and 'creature', printed before 5th edition) for which the current wording is "Disintegrate deals X damage to any target. If it’s a creature, it can’t be regenerated this turn, and if it would die this turn, exile it instead." and, correspondingly, cards that interact with exile can find the creature that was disintegrated.
