What happens if multiple Pure Reflectios are in the battlefield and somebody casts a creature spell? How many tokens will end up in play?
For reference oracle text:
Pure Reflection
2W
Enchantment
Whenever a player casts a creature spell, destroy all Reflections. Then that player puts an X/X white Reflection creature token onto the battlefield, where X is the converted mana cost of that spell.
Thanks everybody.

1. A Reflection comes into play for each trigger, but then the next trigger destroys the last one. So basically, the card works the same, except you can do tricks with things like Pandemonium.

Sorry I still dont get it. How many tokens will I end up having? just one cause every trigger destroys the previous token? or a token per Pure Reflection in play cause the "destroy" part happens at once and THEN the multiple tokens enter the battlefield?
Thanks in advance and forgive my Noob relation with the rules.

One token. That's it.
The entire ability happens at once. So all Reflections are destroyed, and then a token comes into play. Once the entire ability for the first Pure Reflection resolves, the second one happens. All Reflections are destroyed (which should just be the one just created), and then a new one comes into play.

Here is a very basic lessons that will help you answer a lot of further rules questions:
In Magic (almost) nothing happens "at once". When in doubt just follow everything in the order it's written on the cards.
You will get a token for the first reflection. Then you it will be destroyed by the 2nd reflection and you will get a new token...which will be destroyed by the 3rd reflection which will grant you yet another token etc. etc. In the end you will have a single token. Nothing happens "at once". You can't just say "ok the destruction part of EVERY trigger happens first, then I will resolve the token-creating part of EVERY trigger." You have to do it in order.
