For the people saying "of course, dur," the problem probably comes from the fact that Mossbridge Troll's regeneration clause looks awfully like a replacement effect. So if anyone is confused by that, it would be helpful to point out that the troll doesn't use the word "instead," so the destruction still attempts to happen. Or does happen, in the case of "can't be regenerated" effects.

The regeneration clause on Mossbridge Troll looks like a replacement effect because it is, in fact, a replacement effect. Or rather, it is a static ability that creates a replacement effect.
Obligatory rules quote with emphasis added:
614.8. Regeneration is a destruction-replacement effect. The word "instead" doesn't appear on the card but is implicit in the definition of regeneration. "Regenerate [permanent]" means "The next time [permanent] would be destroyed this turn, instead remove all damage marked on it and tap it. If it's an attacking or blocking creature, remove it from combat." Abilities that trigger from damage being dealt still trigger even if the permanent regenerates. See rule 701.11.
Wrath of God goes around this and destroys the Troll anyway because it explicitly prohibits this replacement effect from being applied.

Yes, the Troll can't regenerate, so it's destroyed.
By the way, your card tags don't work. The slash in the closing tag goes in front: [card]Wrath of God[/card] -> Wrath of God.
