Does myriad trigger the legend rule?
Yes, Myriad triggers the legend rule when creating legendary creature tokens, but the copies enter tapped and attacking, triggering their own abilities (like ETB effects) and then are immediately put into the graveyard by the legend rule before combat damage, allowing you to keep one copy and trigger death/ETB effects from the others before they leave. You choose which one to keep, and the rest are put into the graveyard (not sacrificed), so you can get triggers from them dying, say if they have a death ability.Does Myriad bypass the legendary rule?

No, Myriad tokens do not trigger "when this attacks" abilities because they enter the battlefield already attacking, bypassing the step where creatures are declared as attackers, which is when those triggers happen.

Yes, the Legend Rule does trigger "dies" (death) triggers because the legendary permanent goes from the battlefield to the graveyard, which is the definition of dying in Magic, but it does not trigger "sacrifice" triggers, as it's a state-based action, not a sacrifice.

You cannot respond to the Legend Rule in Magic: The Gathering; it's a State-Based Action (SBA) that happens instantly when a second legendary permanent of the same name enters, forcing you to choose one to keep and putting the others into the graveyard, triggering "dies" effects but not "sacrifice" effects, as it's a forced placement, not a choice to sacrifice.Does the phyrexian metamorph get around legend rule?
No, Phyrexian Metamorph does not get around the legend rule because it copies the legendary supertype and the specific card name, meaning if you copy another legendary creature you control, one will be put into the graveyard as a state-based action. The legend rule cares about identical names, not types, so the Metamorph becomes legendary with the same name as the target, triggering the rule. To bypass it, you need cards like Mirror Gallery or Sakashima of a Thousand Faces that explicitly change the rules for legendary permanents or make non-legendary copies.Can you make a token copy of a legendary?
Yes, you can create a token copy of a legendary creature in Magic: The Gathering, but the "legend rule" will typically force you to put all but one with the same name into the graveyard, though some cards create special non-legendary copies or bypass the rule entirely. Standard copy effects (like Rite of Replication) make legendary tokens that trigger the rule, but you still get Enter-the-Battlefield (ETB) triggers from the copies before they're sent to the graveyard.Does the legend rule apply to Planeswalkers?
