Official Rulings

• My opponent has Witch of the Eye (COTA 368) next to Shadow Self (COTA 310) upgraded with Phoenix Heart (COTA 051) in their battleline. I attack and destroy Shadow Self. Will Witch of the Eye survive due to Shadow Self taking the Phoenix Heart damage or does Shadow Self return to hand before damage from Phoenix Heart is dealt?
  Resolve the ability in the order the text is written. When the “Destroyed:” ability granted by Phoenix Heart resolves, it puts Shadow Self in its owner’s hand and then deals the damage to each creature still in play.

Commentary

If an ability states an effect is applied to "each creature", the effect is resolved for both Friendly and Enemy creatures.
