No, Omega will not prevent Jargogle’s “Destroyed:” ability from resolving. Omega creates a lasting effect that ends the step once all pending abilities and effects have been resolved, so Jargogle’s “Destroyed:” ability will resolve, playing Wild Wormhole. Similarly, Wild Wormhole’s “Play:” ability will also resolve. If a creature is played by the resolution of Wild Wormhole’s “Play:” ability, that creature will not have been tagged for destruction by the resolution of Unlocked Gateway, and will remain in play while the other creatures (that were tagged for destruction) complete their destruction.Source: Rulebook
I have a Jargogle (AoA 131) with a Wild Wormhole (CoTA 125) under it, and I play Unlocked Gateway (AoA 67). Will Omega prevent me from playing Wild Wormhole when resolving Jargogle’s “Destroyed:” ability? If Wild Wormhole’s “Play:” ability plays a creature from my deck, does that creature get destroyed by Unlocked Gateway?? If Wild Wormhole causes a creature to be played from my deck, does that creature survive the Unlocked Gateway?

Yes. While creatures normally wouldn’t be able to reap outside of Step 3, the Golden Rule will allow Ghosthawk’s “Play:” ability to resolve.Source: Rulebook
I have Fangtooth Cavern (WC 370) in play. In my battleline, I have Jargogle (AOA 131) with Ghosthawk (WC 356) underneath. As my turn ends, Jargogle is destroyed. Resolving Jargogle’s “Destroyed:” ability plays Ghosthawk. Does Ghoskhawk’s “Play:” ability resolve, allowing me to reap with Ghosthawk’s neighbors?
Yes. While creatures normally wouldn’t be able to reap outside of Step 3, the Golden Rule will allow Ghosthawk’s “Play:” ability to resolve.

No. Resolving Unlocked Gateway’s “Play:” ability tags all creatures in play for destruction, the creature under Jargogle was not in play at the time, so it will not be tagged for destruction.Source: Rulebook
In my battleline I have Jargogle (AOA 131) with a creature underneath. I play Unlocked Gateway (AOA 067) and resolve Jargogle’s “Destroyed:” ability to play the creature. Does the creature get destroyed by Unlocked Gateway as well?
No. Resolving Unlocked Gateway’s “Play:” ability tags all creatures in play for destruction, the creature under Jargogle was not in play at the time, so it will not be tagged for destruction.

Jargogle’s “Destroyed:” ability refers to a single card. When the ability resolves, the active player will play or archive one of the cards underneath Jargogle and discard the others. If the active player is the controller of Jargogle, they can look at the cards beneath Jargogle and choose which one to play. If the active player is not the controller of Jargogle, they choose one of the cards under Jargogle at random and put it in its owner’s archives, then all other cards under Jargogle go to their owner’s discard pile(s).Source: Rulebook
If Jargogle (AOA 131) ends up with multiple cards underneath it, what happens when its “Destroyed:” ability resolves?

Not usually. If Jargoggle was destroyed during your Step 3 you may not play or use any more cards—just finish resolving any more triggered effects and then move on to the next step. If Jargoggle was destroyed during your Step 1, however (for example, because you forged a key while Strange Gizmo (CoTA 134) was out), you only move on to Step 2, where you may then choose your house and move on to Step 3, where you are allowed to play and use cards again as normal.Source: Rulebook
If my Jargogle (AoA 131) is destroyed on my turn and its Destroyed: ability lets me play a card with Omega, can I still play cards afterwards?
