Naban, Dean of Iteration is a fantastic addition to a Wizard tribal deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it can greatly increase the value of triggered abilities from various Wizard creatures. Decks focused on Wizards and triggered abilities would benefit the most from Naban's ability to double up on those triggers. While there may be other powerful cards for specific strategies, Naban's unique effect makes it a strong contender for inclusion in decks looking to maximize triggered abilities from Wizards.

Rules

04/27/18

Abilities that apply “as [this creature] enters the battlefield,” such as choosing a card name with Meddling Mage, are unaffected.

04/27/18

If a triggered ability is linked to a second ability, additional instances of that triggered ability are also linked to that second ability. If the second ability refers to “the exiled card,” it refers to all cards exiled by instances of the triggered ability.

04/27/18

If you somehow control two Nabans, a Wizard entering the battlefield causes abilities to trigger three times, not four. A third Naban causes abilities to trigger four times, a fourth causes abilities to trigger five times, and so on.

04/27/18

Naban affects a Wizard’s own enters-the-battlefield triggered abilities as well as other triggered abilities that trigger when that Wizard enters the battlefield. Such triggered abilities start with “when” or “whenever.”

04/27/18

The trigger event doesn’t have to specifically refer to “Wizards.” For example, an ability that triggers “whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control” would trigger twice if the entering creature is a Wizard.
