Is the question indeed "What happens if Anafenza, the Foremost dies at the same time as all other creatures on the battlefield"?
yes,sorry i was half asleep when i typed this out,i do mean board wipes so if someone used wrath of god,would everything my opponents control be exiled?
Yes. Even if Anafenza dies at the same time, its replacement effect applies: all opponents' creatures get exiled.
Anafenza: I hear you plan on sending some critters to the grave?
You: Yes, I was just about to do that.
Anafenza: Hold it! dont send send those guys to the grave; rather, send them to exile.
You: Ah? ok then!
See, this little conversation happens BEFORE anything dies, before even Anafenza dies, which is why the effect applies.
Rule 614.1. Some continuous effects are replacement effects. [...] Such effects watch for a particular event that would happen and [...] replace that event with a different event.[...]

So, if someone used wrath of god and i had anafenza, the foremost on my side of the battlefield, then before everything would be destroyed the game checks for any effects that might trigger,in this case it sees anafenza's ability and puts the said replacement effect into effect says everything will be exiled and wrath of god resolves and my opponents creatures go into exile?

Anafenza's second ability now says, in part, "If a nontoken creature an opponent owns would die ..., exile that card instead" (C.R. 108.1). Since Wrath of God destroys all creatures simultaneously (it contains a single action verb "destroy") (C.R. 608.2c), if you control Anafenza then any nontoken creatures, owned by opponents, destroyed this way will be exiled instead of dying (C.R. 614.1, 614.1a, 701.7, 700.4), even if Anafenza leaves the battlefield at the same time as those other creatures (so that there is no time that Anafenza isn't on the battlefield before those other creatures leave). See also one of the rulings for Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet, which contains a similar replacement ability ("If a nontoken creature an opponent controls would die, instead exile [etc.]").

Thank you, i guess that makes sense. Thanks for helping me understand
