Lets say i have Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath and Blade of Selves. I'm playing a 4 player game, and attack with my Uro equipped with the Blade. As i attack i get two token copys of Uro, and as they are legendary as well as the original, they have to be sacrificed as soon as they ETB.
But do i get the ETBs of gaining 3 lives, drawing a card and getting a land on the battlefield for each of the token copys? I'm not sure but as i understand, state based checks (to see there are multiple legendary permanentes with the same name) are made when the copys are created way before the ETBs actually trigger so i'm not sure if they actually get the time to trigger at all.
So the question would be, state based checks don't use the stack so an event that would cause something to enter de stack (like an ETB trigger) is made always after state based cheks are made, right?
The legendary copies have to be dealt with when state-based actions are checked, which is before the triggers go on the stack. But Uro *did* enter the battlefield, so the abilities do indeed trigger. It's just that all of your Uro copies will be gone by the time the two triggers can actually go on the stack.
State-Based checks are the same thing that causes your ability to trigger and cause your duplicate legendaries to go to the graveyard. Both are performed at the same time so the abilities will trigger(they aren't on the stack yet they have only triggered) and you will choose a single Uro to keep while the others are sent away. Then you put the triggers on the stack(choosing targets if relevant{It's not here})
That's actually 4 triggers: both Uro tokens' (sacrifice unless it escaped) abilities will trigger too.
However, because of the Legend rule, the tokens should be gone long before those abilities resolve.
All in all, you get 9 lives, draw 3 cards and may put 3 lands on the field.
(don't forget the triggers from the original Uro attacking)

That's incorrect, state based actions do not check triggers, nor are they checked at the same time as the trigger conditions. Those trigger conditions are checked already during the resolution of the myriad trigger before that trigger leaves the stack. They are checked right after the event, so if the myriad trigger would do anything more after making creatures enter the battlefield, the triggers would go off (but not yet put on the stack) before the resolution of the ability continues.
