Myriad Construct's lack of intervening-if or "if you do" in its trigger means you can target it multiple times to create more tokens.

4x rituals (or Simian Spirit Guide), Myriad, Ground Rift (or any storm/replicate card) produces 24 1/1 tokens on turn 1.

Shattering Spree for X target Myriad also creates 4X 1/1s.

Empty the Warrens after casting rituals is a great backup wincon.

It's also resistant to mulligans. 3 rituals still lets you create 20 tokens turn 2, 2 rituals 16 tokens turn 3, and so on.

Gameplay

When we cast the replicate or storm spell, two triggers go on the stack at the same time, the replicate and the sacrifice trigger. As the controller, you get to choose the order, so put replicate trigger on top.

Stack: Top>RSG>Bottom (where R is Replicate, S is sacrifice trigger, G is Gigadrowse)

Replicate resolves creating 4 copies which go on the stack and trigger 4 more sacrifices. Put in arbitrary order.

Stack: Top>SSSSGGGGSG>Bottom

Rules

Once we've put the triggers on the stack, it doesn't matter that the Gigadrowses fizzle because all the sacrifices are already on the stack and they don't target, so they don't fizzle (rule 608.2b) and resolve as much as posssible (609.3).

Furthermore, the tokens will be created using the last known power of Myriad, even if it no longer exists (413.2f).
