Get three creatures into your graveyard any way you see fit. Attack with the Cagebreakers. Enjoy 6 7/7 wolves. The Parallel Lives isn't strictly necessary, but it does smooth the process.

The only problem I see is when you have a creature that "comes into play tapped and attacking", it actually doesn't trigger "whenever a you control creature attacks" effects. At least that was the impression I was under. Its like if you're playing Kaalia EDH and put a Rakdos the Deflier into play. HIs first trigger doesn't go off. "Whenever a creature you control attacks" is essentially the same as "whenever a creature you control is declared as an attacked during the declare attackers step".

If someone has a ruling to correct this, please let me know.

Beastmaster's ability will trigger cause it says when a creature ATTACKS and the tokens come in tapped and ATTACKING.

No, Mechanist, that's not the case actually. Found the ruling:

508.4. If a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, its controller chooses which defending player or which planeswalker a defending player controls it's attacking as it enters the battlefield (unless the effect that put it onto the battlefield specifies what its attacking). Such creatures are "attacking" but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never "attacked."

The last sentence there is what we're looking at here. I know it defies logic, but it's the rules. Perhaps a rewording of the trigger would help prevent future confusion.

So I've been doing it wrong. Oh well, I can reuse the title for something else.
