Blaze commando

Hi looking for combos that reap multiple instances of the blaze commandos triggered effect. Not the instant or sorcery needs multiple instances of "each"... Thoughts? Isochron scepter seems to be one of the better combos.

Will inferno work? I'm sure I am can make the creatures indestructible.

It will only trigger when damage is dealt. Damage is dealt all at once regardless of how many targets take damage unless it deals damage more than once as part of the spells resolution. To get multiple triggers you'll need to copy the spells or find other ways to gain extra value, usually at a fairly steep cost.

Arc Blade will do it every three turns.
Barbed Lightning will do it when entwined.
Branching Bolt will do it with multiple legal targets.
Burn the Impure does it if the target has infect.
Burn Trail will do it when Conspired.
Clan Defiance can trigger it three times if there are enough legal targets.
Fanning the Flames can do it when you buyback.
Firespout does it if both red and green were paid and there are both flying and non flying creatures.
Flame Jab does it when retraced.
Glacial Ray would do it when spliced.
Grapeshot does it equal to the storm count.
Incendiary Command does it if you do the player and each creature options.
Kaboom! does it in multiplayer.
Kindle the Carnage does it if you discard multiple cards.
Lash Out does it when you win the clash.
Magma Burst does it when kicked.
Mana Clash will do it every coin flip.
Pulse of the Forge does it if you have less life than an opponent.
Pyromantics does it when replicated.
Quenchable Fire does it unless they pay the upkeep cost.
Release the Ants does it if you win the clash.
Scattershot does it equal to storm count.
Searing Touch does it when you buyback.
Staggershock does it on the rebound.
Surging Flame could do it with some lucky Ripples.
Thunderblade Charge could do it when you deal combat damage.
Titan's Revenge does it on winning a clash.
Undying Flames does it each upkeep...

Anything will do it when flashbacked via Past in Flames, Yawgmoth's Will or natural flashback abilities.

You can't target the same target multiple times with it as the multikicker specificies "another target". However, even if you could, damage is all done at one time so it will only trigger the commando once.

Question: can you target a planeswalker directly or is it targetting the player and then redirecting the damage? In other words can you use comet storm to target and the player and his planeswalker?

Not with that spell... Since players and creatures are the only legal targets, you have to redirect the damage from the player. Unless the walker is Gideon or you had some other convoluted board state to make them creatures lol.

true, it's funny how planeswalkers have now been around since Lorwyn Block and still there are so very few spells that actually target them

It's usually not that big of a deal since burn spells can still hit them and "permanents" don't usually care about damage so it would be more weird to print a damage spell that could target permanents and having players, walkers and creatures just makes it a bit more wordy than they want cards to be.
