I was playing Magic Online the other day and here's what happened:
There were 5 creatures on the battlefield, including Aegis Angel and another creature with Indestrucible given by the Angel, and then my opponent casts Deathbringer Regent and it sweeps all the other creatures including the one with Indestructible.
That left us both wondering if that was supposed to happen, and later I found out a specific ruling regarding Aegis Angel that says, and I quote:
"If Aegis Angel and the permanent would be destroyed simultaneously, only Aegis Angel will be destroyed"
At this point, I'm pretty much convinced that that shouldn't have happened, but the ruling I quoted is from 2011 and Deathbringer Regent does not target any creature, so is there any new (or old) rules that I'm missing or was it just a MTGO bug?
That would be a bug indeed. At the time the Regent's ability resolves, the creature that the Angel gave indestructible to still had the ability. The destruction is all simultaneous, so it fails for that creature as it succeeds for the others.
