You can't tap more creatures to convoke Lethal Scheme than it takes to pay for its total cost. This means that normally no more than four creatures can convoke it.

2022-04-29wotc

When multiple creatures are instructed to connive simultaneously, they connive one at a time in the order of their controller's choice.
