How many tokens inbthis scenario?
Asked by Spook9MM 4 years ago
Running Bant Splicer deck, to include Parallel Lives & Anointed Procession . So I casr a Wing Splicer with both enchantments on the field, I get 3 golem tokens, 1 from the CIP + 2 from enchantments. If Panharmonicon were also on field, would that be 1 additional golem? Or would it add 3 more, since triggering CIP again, thereby triggering both enchantments again? Additionally, does it double the tokens from the enchantments too?

Parallel Lives and Anointed Procession are multipliers and the multiplication stacks. So, for your first such enchantment, you have a 2x multiplier, if you have two, you have a 4x multiplier (2x then 2x again).
Ruling on Parallel Lives: If you control two Parallel Lives, then the number of tokens created is four times the original number. If you control three, then the number of tokens created is eight times the original number, and so on.
So, with just Parallel Lives and Anointed Procession , you will end up with 4 Golem tokens, not the three you thought.
Also, note that neither Parallel Lives nor Anointed Procession "trigger" as you mentioned - they are replacement effects that modify how the tokens are created (specifically modifying how many are created), not triggered abilities that use the stack.
With Panharmonicon , here's what happens:
Wing Splicer enters the battlefield. Its ability triggers; but, since Panharmonicon is in play, Panharmonicon 's replacement effect is implicated, causing Wing Splicer to trigger twice. There are now two different Wing Splicer abilities on the stack.
2Each of these abilities will resolve separately. The replacement effects from your two enchantments will be implicated as each resolves, netting you 4 tokens per ability resolution, for a total of 8 Golems.
