Forest in place of "Blade of Selves" (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=405145)

This combo is simple. Equip the War-Pride with the Blade and swing. It creates copies of the cat for each player and each creature each player controls, plus the original. So you'll always hit each creature AND each player with this combo.

This can be combined with Exalted creatures for exceptionally powerful creatures, or combined with Soulbond creatures or instants for special abilities.

As long as you are smart and plan your stack accordingly you can come off with some amazing effects. Remember FILO. You want myriad to TRIGGER prior to War-Pride's ability so that it will create a copy for each player then each player becomes a "defending player" and it will trigger the myriad for each player. Since they technically occur at the same time you will be able to choose the order.

This doesn't work as you think. The Nacatl Tokens do not trigger the "attack trigger". The excerpt from the card's ruling is as follows:
5/1/2007: Putting an attacking creature onto the battlefield doesn't trigger "When this creature attacks" abilities. It also won't check attacking restrictions, costs, or requirements.

Same thing with the myriad ability. At the end it doesn't matter which order you stack: either the myrad tokens (only 1 for each other player) enter first followed by X nacatl tokens where X is the number of creatures the chosen defending player has, or vice versa.
Depending on the multiplayer rules the nacatl tokens may attack a different player:
5/1/2007: In a multiplayer game in which you're allowed to attack only one player each combat, the new creatures will be attacking the same player as Nacatl War-Pride. In a multiplayer game in which you may attack multiple players, you choose the player each new creature is attacking. It must be a player you're allowed to attack.

You also could read the card rulings of the link you posted:

11/4/2015 Although the tokens enter the battlefield attacking, they were never declared as attackers. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won�t trigger, including the myriad ability of the tokens. If there any costs to have a creature attack, those costs won�t apply to the tokens.

11/4/2015 Each token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else. It doesn�t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

So you idea with exalted doesn't work: Some effects put creatures onto the battlefield attacking. Since those creatures were never declared as attackers, they're ignored by exalted abilities. They won't cause exalted abilities to trigger. If any exalted abilities have already triggered (because exactly one creature was declared as an attacker), those abilities will resolve as normal even though there may now be multiple attackers.

The idea with the instants fired at the equipped creature doesn't work if no copyable effect is created.

The part with myriad/soulbond works as well as all other combinations with putting the Blade of Selves on a creature which has an enter-the-battlefield-ability.

Thanks for that. Yeah that makes sense. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
