will each of the 4 triggers see 4 elementals (each elemental it counts being the 4 omnaths)?
or would the legendary rules clean up the board and only allow the 4 triggers to see only 1 omnath on the board when the triggers resolve?
The legend rule is a state based action and will be checked the next time a player would receive priority, so right after the spell or ability that puts the four Omnaths on the field has finished resolving. The Omnath triggers go off during that spell's/ability's resolution, but they have to wait to go on the stack until after state based actions have been checked. So you get four triggers, but will have at most one Omnath on the field when the triggers are put on the stack. When each of the triggers resolves, they count the number of Elementals you control at that time, it doesn't matter how many you controlled when the abilities triggered. Which means, players have the opportunity to manipulate the number of Elementals under your control to change how much damage is dealt by removing some from the battlefield, or you can create Elemental tokens or flash in more Elementals, turn some creature of yours into an Elemental or non-Elementals, etc.
I was wondering about how his ability would work on enter the battlefield, him being a legendary creature.
If I some how get 4 omnath, locus of the roil to enter at the same time....
