What Happens if a Legendary Creature Has Myriad?
In the world of Magic: The Gathering, Legendary creatures are a rare and powerful breed. These creatures have unique abilities that set them apart from the rest, and one such ability is Myriad. In this article, we will explore what happens when a Legendary creature has Myriad.
What is Myriad?
Myriad is a triggered ability that allows a creature to create token copies of itself. When a creature with Myriad attacks, its controller can create token copies of that creature for each other opponent. These token copies are exiled at the end of combat.
How Does Myriad Work with Legendary Creatures?
When a Legendary creature has Myriad, the rules for Myriad apply in the same way as they would for any other creature. The controller of the Legendary creature can declare it as attacking, and then create token copies of it for each other opponent. The token copies will have the same power and toughness as the original creature, and will be exiled at the end of combat.
Do Legendary Creature Tokens Trigger ETB?
Another important question to consider is whether Legendary creature tokens trigger Enter the Battlefield (ETB) effects. The answer is yes, they do. When a Legendary creature token is created, it will trigger any ETB effects on the creature, such as those that grant abilities or increase its power.
Can You Have Two Instances of Myriad?
If you have one creature with Myriad, can you have another creature with Myriad? The answer is yes. Each creature with Myriad will have its own separate ability to create token copies of itself, and you can trigger each ability independently.
How Does Blade of Selves Work with Myriad?
Blade of Selves is a Legendary enchantment that allows creatures to copy themselves. If you have a Legendary creature with Myriad, you can use Blade of Selves to create a token copy of the creature that has Myriad. When the token copy attacks, its controller can create another token copy of the creature, and so on.
Can You Have Two of the Same Legendary Creatures?
The total number of Legendary creatures in a deck is not restricted, and you can have four of any Legendary in your deck. However, if you already have a Legendary creature of the same name out, you will have to choose one to sacrifice. This is because the Legendary rules state that you can only have one copy of a Legendary creature on the battlefield at a time.
Conclusion
In conclusion, when a Legendary creature has Myriad, it creates token copies of itself that are exiled at the end of combat. These token copies can trigger ETB effects and have the same power and toughness as the original creature. You can have multiple creatures with Myriad, and use them to create multiple token copies of each. Just be aware of the Legendary rules and the limits on having multiple copies of the same creature on the battlefield.
