Lagrella, The Magpie not triggering her exile ability when entering the battlefield
I summoned Lagrell, The Magpie into the battlefield, using Tamiyo, Completed Sage's loyalty ability "Exile target nonland permanent card with mana value X from your graveyard. Create a token that's a copy of that card." When Lagrell entered the battlefield, her ability to exile any number of other target creatures controlled by different players, did not trigger. As you can see by the screenshot included, my opponent still has all 28 of their creatures.
Expected results: I should have been able to exile all 28 of their creatures, and then attack in for the win.

Rezzahan - Maybe they need to update the text on this one - I see "exile *any* number of other target creatures controlled by different players until Lagrella leaves the battlefield" - that is NOT clear at all - and as I read that, I should be able to exile all the creatures on my side (ie. soldier deck - not the tokens) - and then bounce her back with Zephyr Sentinel and pump all my creatures. As it is, I can't even exile one creature of mine and one of my opponents - much less more than one - which is how it reads. But yes, the "any number" verbiage does not appear standard.

The Mother of Maschines is on your opponent's side. She nullifies any ETB triggers from the opponent's creatures. That includes your Lagrella token.
Also, you seem to misunderstand Lagrella's ability. You get to at most exile one creature per player, not any number per player.
