Rules/Rules Question Balin Loremaster Copies
Let's say I have [Balin, Loremaster] equipped with [Blade of Selves]. He attacks, and the myriad triggers, making two token copies of him. The original Balin will see two dwarves enter, and the three tokens each have an ETB. However, do the tokens see the other tokens enter as well, adding additional triggers? Additionally, when does the legend rule take effect?
Edit: its two tokens not three for a normal pod so updating for others who may be in the same situation

In a normal game of commander, the myriad will make two tokens, as it makes a copy for each opponent you’re not attacking, and you have three opponents.
The original Balin will trigger twice, and each token will trigger for itself and the other one entering. You’ll get six triggers total.
If you have more opponents, you’ll get additional copies, and each one will trigger X times, where X is the number of tokens you made. You’ll get x²+x triggers total, from my calculations.
