Rulings

10/4/2004	All the tokens are put onto the battlefield simultaneously.
10/4/2004	Both the cumulative upkeep and the triggered ability trigger at the beginning of upkeep, so you can choose what order they resolve.
10/4/2004	You control the triggered ability, but each player controls the token creature they put onto the battlefield due to the ability's effect.
10/4/2004	Does not put the Zombies onto the battlefield if this card is not still on the battlefield when its ability resolves.
10/4/2004	If something changes the names of the tokens, then the "at end of turn" ability will still destroy them.
10/1/2008	This has the supertype world. When a world permanent enters the battlefield, any world permanents that were already on the battlefield are put into their owners' graveyards. This is a state-based action called the "world rule." The new world permanent stays on the battlefield. If two world permanents enter the battlefield at the same time, they're both put into their owners' graveyards.
