Scute Swarm Calculator
How many Scute Swarms will you have after landfall? Set it up, then press Landfall!
Assumes you control six or more lands, so each Scute Swarm trigger makes a copy of Scute Swarm instead of a 1/1 Insect. Poke the bugs. They don't like it.

How the math works
Whenever a land enters, each Scute Swarm you control makes a copy of itself (with six or more lands). Each token doubler multiplies that by 2 and each token tripler multiplies it by 3. So each land entering makes t new swarms per existing swarm, where t = 2doublers × 3triplers.
All at once (e.g. several lands entering together): only the swarms you already had trigger, so total = swarms × (1 + lands × t).
One at a time: every new copy can trigger on the next land, so total = swarms × (1 + t)lands. This grows very fast.
The animation draws up to a few hundred bugs. When the real total is bigger, each bug stands in for many swarms (shown under the card). The d20 shows large numbers in short form, like 12.3K or 4.5M. The exact total is shown below the card.
