Official Rulings

• If I use Ancient Bear (COTA 345) to fight Bulleteye (COTA 297), Bulleteye is destroyed by assault damage. If I use The Warchest (COTA 027) does its “Action:” ability resolve Bulleteye’s destruction?
  No. The Warchest’s “Action:” ability only resolves for creatures that were destroyed during the fight itself (exchange of damage based on a creature’s power). Since Bulleteye was destroyed in the “before fight” window, it is not considered to have been destroyed in a fight.

Commentary

The Action: ability of The Warchest will gain its controller Æmber only for creatures that were destroyed prior to The Warchest being used. Any creatures destroyed in a fight after The Warchest has been used will not gain Æmber through The Warchest's ability.
