Does Wrath of God work on Hexproof?

Yes, Wrath of God works on creatures with hexproof because hexproof prevents being targeted, but Wrath of God says "Destroy all creatures," which doesn't use the word "target" and affects everything on the battlefield. Hexproof only stops spells or abilities that specifically name a target, so non-targeted board wipes like Wrath, Damnation, or effects that make you sacrifice a creature will still get rid of hexproof creatures.

Does shroud stop board wipes?
