Forum:Michael Arch-Lightsworn question

Re: Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn, his rulings page has the following: "◾The "shuffle all of them into the Deck, and if you do, gain 300 Life Points for each." effect activates in the Graveyard if this card is destroyed and sent to Graveyard. This effect activates while banished if this card is destroyed and banished.[1]"

When a card is banished, is it always considered destroyed as part of that process, or is it only "destroyed and banished" if the effect which banishes it states it being destroyed, as well? For example, if Memory of an Adversary banishes him, does this particular effect still resolve?
