If the Vicious Shadows is on the board with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and other creatures and then a board wipe resolves, will the damage dealt by the enchantment be doubled for all the destroyed creatures ?

Since it dies and the triggers of the enchantment resolve after will the damage be doubled or not ?

For reference, you can surround a card name with two brackets, "[", in order for a card name to show it's picture.
The damage from Vicious Shadows will not be doubled due to Gisela, Blade of Goldnight post board wipe. In order for a replacement effect, like that of Gisela, to apply it must exist at the time of the event it is replacing.
Let's say I control Vicious Shadows and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight when my opponent casts Wrath of God. My Gisela will die which will trigger Shadows. When the trigger from Shadows goes to resolve, it's damage isn't doubled because Gisela isn't there to modify it.
In short, Gisela needs to be out when damage is dealt in order to modify it.
Hope this helps!!
