Naban, Dean of Iteration... the double double?
Asked by Zacoly 5 years ago
If I have Naban, Dean of Iteration on the board with Panharmonicon and I have Silvergill Adept enter the board, aren't there two triggers separate ETB triggers set off by a wizard entering? Both of them are doubled so I should draw 4 cards, right?

Neither Panharmonicon nor Naban, Dean of Iteration have triggered abilities. The only triggered ability that triggers when Silvergill Adept enters the battlefield is its own. Neban and Panharmonicon's abilities cause that ability to trigger an additional time each. Therefor, Silvergill triggers three times in total.

It's just 3 cards in this situation. Note that Naban and Panharmonicon don't say "twice", they just say "an additional time". Silvergill Adept's ability will trigger 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 times. The result of multiple Nabans/Panharmonicons is one of the things noted in the official rulings given in their Gatherer entries: Naban, Panharmonicon
Here's another way to think about it: It was only the first trigger that was actually caused by a wizard/creature entering the battlefield. The additional triggers were caused by Naban's and Panharmonicon's abilities, so they won't apply to those.
