If I have Goldnight Redeemer and someone plays Death Wind with 5 total mana then is my Angel  destroyed? Would this be the same of Aura's that have a negative amount equal to or greater then the target creature?

No... but yes

A creature with 0 or less toughness is put into its owner's graveyard when State-Based Actions are checked (basically, just before everytime someone is allowed to play spells and a few other times). It doesn't count as destruction, though; you can't save a creature by regenerating it if its toughness falls to 0 and it can get rid of indestructible creatures.

Destroyed? no

sent to the graveyard? yes

there's a difference


704.5f If a creature has toughness 0 or less, it’s put into its owner’s graveyard. Regeneration can’t replace this event.

RPJesus: "Man, screw the rules, I'll play a game of 2HG Archenemy Planechase Emperor EDH draft yet. Once I figure out the rules for it..."
Chaikov: "Of course, casual Magic may be played any way your Pokemon group agrees on..." and "It's not logic. It's Magic!"
GainsBanding: "I only play online.  The Magic Online shuffler is AWESOME!"
Ikegami: "one might think [adult cats] would make excellent tokens. The issue, though, is that they are very hard to exile. They return to the battlefield more often than an undying creature."
Astarael7: "Does 121.1 imply that players are supposed to wear their poison counters?"
Bimmerbot: "If you move the wrong way and [the poison counters] fall, it's a game rule violation"
Helluminatus: "Just remember, if it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, and quacks like a duck, but the oracle text says creature - Bunny , then by god, it's a bunny."
