Official Rulings

• 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?
  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.

• 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.

Commentary

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