Question 1) each Scute trigger only reads the 3 scutes that are already on the battlefield, correct? I assume nothing is real until the stack resolves.
Question 2) does the doubler read each token creation effect individually, or only at the end after creation?
Play a land, 3 initial Scute Swarm triggers (1 real, 2 copies)
Greenwarden's ability intervenes, adds one to each to a total of 6 triggers.
You place all 6 triggers on the stack in whatever order you want, and resolve them 1 by 1 in reverse (last in=first out)
As each trigger resolves, it sees that you have more than 6 lands, so it creates a Scute Swarm token instead of an Insect
Parallel Lives intervenes and gives you double the tokens.
So you get 12 total new Scute Swarm tokens, 2 at a time from each of 6 triggers.
This question regards stack function and token generation.
Scenario is this: I have 7 lands out, Scute Swarm and 2 copies, Ancient Greenwarden, and Parallel Lives.
I play a single land.
