Commentary

If Witch Queen is in the center of the battleline when a board wipe (such as Gateway to Dis) is played, only one other friendly Witch will end up being returned to its owner's hand. First, all creatures would be tagged for destruction, then one Witch creature's Destroyed: ability will resolve and be returned to its owners hand. This causes Witch Queen to no longer be in the center of the battleline, resulting in other friendly Witch creatures no longer having the Destroyed: ability. Even if Witch Queen can return to the center of the battleline by the resolution of another Destroyed: ability, the newly gained Destroyed: ability on the Witch creatures will not resolve; per the rules of Destroyed: "If a card gains a “Destroyed:” ability after it is already tagged for destruction, that ability does not resolve.
