Any way to get multiple (2 or more) creatures out turn 1 in standard.

I was just wondering. If not can we think of ways we can get the most creature out on our turns.
I don't think we can on turn 1. Turn 2 can give us like 8 though.

In order to have this happen, you'd need something that provided a mana ability AND had haste. Seeing what I come up with as a one-drop with Haste is Mistcutter Hydra (has xG as it's casting cost, so it is technically a one drop), Legion Loyalist , and Akroan Crusader , who himself does not have haste but gives out Hasty tokens.
So, no, it is not gonna happen, as far as I can tell.

I don't believe there's any way. You'd either need 0-cost creatures (like Memnite ), a spell that simply gives you more than 1 creature (like that one from Scars-block that gives you 3 Goblins provided you sacrifice an artifact, particularly those that cost 0 mana), or a way to generate mana on turn-1 (like with Chancellor of the Tangle or something similar).
So, no.

I don't think there is currently a way to do so, but you can cast Worldspine Wurm turn 3 with the right hand, so that's almost as good.

T1- Forest, Elvish Mystic
T2- 3x Burning-Tree Emissary , Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , Nykthos's 2nd ability to net 7 mana, Garruk, Caller of Beasts , Garruk's 2nd ability to put a Worldspine Wurm onto the battlefield.

Closest I can think of is:T1: Forest, Elvish Mystic T2: Tap forest and elf for 2 mana, cast Burning-Tree Emissary , use the floating mana to cast another BTE, repeat, repeat. Play Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , use the mana from the last BTE to activate Shrine. But your devotion is only 9, so you're 2 mana short. Maybe they forgot the Shrine requires 2 to activate?

Ah Garruk, Caller of Beasts was not what I was thinking, though it does work. I was going for hard casting the worm with mana.

Use another Nykthos then, ditching the first after using its 2nd ability.

Nah, my MGD deck doesn't use BTEs. Too much focus on other things like Sedge Scorpion . This deck can though.
Devotion to--Wait what?

Also, I don't mean anything by it, but it just occurred to me that OP described what "multiple" meant in the title of this thread.

I there a reason you'd like to have multiple creatures out on T1?
There are a lot of fast and reliable combinations out there, like T3 Elspeth, Sun's Champion , or attacking with a 20/20 Trample, Indestructible on T5.... so I'm not sure why you need to have those creatures on T1.
