I have always thought that Young Pyromancer is really hot and I have wanted to play them. There are also other variants such as Monastery Mentor and Saheeli, Sublime Artificer. But I have never build a deck around the effects, or even seen such deck being used in multiplayer. Well I guess I kinda have used Sai, Master Thopterist in an artifact deck, but I feel that that is a bit different, since you are playing permanent artifacts as opposed to instants or sorceries.
Questions:
Have you played with any of these cards in multiplayer?
How did you do?
Can you share a decklist?
Have you played against these cards in multiplayer?
How did they do?
Can you tell what their deck was?
Are you planning to use any of these cards in multiplayer?
Why/why not?
What do you think about these cards generally in multiplayer?
Feel free to share your experiences about the cards in general too, the questions are just there to promote discussion.
I just made a nondedicated Saheeli deck.
She’ll probably do ok.
I generally use 1/1’s as fodder.
Maybe with a Dictate of Heliod or two they’ll amount to something.
Or if you have a big horde a Goblin Bombardment will do.
Anyway, have fun with ‘m. It will probably take some tweaking to get the amounts right.

In magic there's Harry Dresden, Fizban, Sethra Lavode, Dorotea Senjak and me...
My meta: 3 or 4 player free for all, anything goes but boring games or broken decks cause a vote to end that game.
The only way I would use creatures like this is if I could abuse skullclamp to rip through my deck for my payoff cards. Otherwise it can feel a little weak since it can be tough to win with a swarm of 1/1 in my meta (unless you can go infinite of course)
I've only played online with Saheeli, but I have tried a dedicated deck with Pyro & Mentor. The deck was based around chaining low-cmc draw spells, think blue filter, for an army of tokens. Very vulnerable to sweepers, the deck really demands an all-in approach.
I guess with Saheeli, most Wrath type sweepers won't hurt as much. Red/blue is where I'd rather be, Mentor becomes optional.
What are you planning to do with all these tokens? Attack with them? Sac them?
I dont really have any plan, well the plan is that I have spotted these cool cards and I want to play them in some deck and I am looking for ideas how they should&could be played. Maybe the deck would be entirely build around the effect and just make tokens like bleedin_eyeball's deck or maybe it would just be some R/X deck with Young Pyromancer in as a general dork and including ~16 spells that can trigger them just to bring some extra value or defensive assets.
Really just looking for other players experiences and trying to mine ideas and data out of them.
I think the first thing you want to do is figure out if you want to play an instant/sorcery deck for Young Pyromancer or if you want to play a Prowess deck and play only the other 2.
It's probably a lot easier to do the prowess deck as artifacts, enchantments, planeswalkers all trigger to give you tokens. You could also play cards like Battle Screech or Sram's Expertise which give you multiple casts while still making tokens.

With Saheeli, you could also consider an artifact theme if you want to add cards like Shrine of Loyal Legions which work off casting multiple spells as well. Add in Sai, Master Thopterist, Spear of Heliod, Bident of Thassa and you have the beginning of a deck.
Anyways, good luck building a deck. I would try to make the most out of Monastery Mentor as that card is the most busted one there!

Sacrifice outlets such as Skullclamp and Goblin Bombardment have already been mentioned as one great use of small tokens.
Creature-counting effects like Shamanic Revelation also make good use of them.
