Can creature effects trigger during board wipes in MTG?
Yep, death triggers still work. Board wipes clean the board, but triggers go off.

Actually, while death triggers do go off, remember not all effects are created equal. Some abilities, like indestructible or certain protection abilities, might mean a creature doesn't leave the battlefield at all during a wipe. Always read the card text closely!
Absolutely, creature effects can indeed trigger during board wipes in Magic The Gathering! If a creature has an ability that says something like 'When this creature dies, do X,' that effect will still happen even if it's getting wiped off the board along with everything else. Board wipes don't prevent death triggers from happening, so your creatures can still have their last moment of glory!
Nope, don't count on it. Board wipes mean everything goes bye-bye at once. It's all about the timing and specifics of the effects.
