Vengeful Bloodwitch not triggering
A couple of times now when Valgavoth is on the field and you have Vengeful Bloodwitch and Amalia and the Amalia board wipe effect happens the Vengeful Bloodwitch life drain and gain ability doesn’t trigger even though Valgavoth gets removed from the play by Amalia.
Specific example:
Opponent has 6 life with Valgavoth and Atraxa in play
I play Raise the Past triggering life gain of the creatures returned building Amalia to 20/20 triggering board wipe getting rid off 12 creatures my side including vengeful Bloodwitch which normally triggers its ability but doesn’t when Valgavoth is on field and removed this way

That is correct behaviour. Replacement effects are applied BEFORE the event actually happens. That's the cards get exiled and don't go to the graveyard. Thus the Bloodwitch's trigger condition is not met.
