Shroud only protects from spells and abilities that use the word "target." Lightning Bolt for example says "target" so a creature that can't be targeted would not be a legal target for Lightning Bolt. If a spell has multiple targets like Hex it still says "target" and would not be able to target a creature with shroud. Wrath of God does not use the word "target", so shroud's protections would have no effect on Wrath of God.
Another little loophole to watch out for is "choose" effects like Duneblast or specifically worded effects like Clone. Clone does not say "target" anywhere on its ability so it does not target and can choose untargetable creatures.
