What's this, Acidic Slime? You want to throw a party on my opponent's lands?

I use this in a (casual/fun) mono blue deck with Gauntlet of Power and High Tide to ramp up my mana. I actually pull off a kicked (and twincasted) Rite of Replication on a regular basis. Last week a guy played Darksteel Colossus on me, so I played ten right back at him. He conceded before I could even put out the tokens. This card is so much fun if you have the mana for it.

This copies only the characteristics printed on the card copied works for tokens too if you're using real tokens that come for exmple in boosters.
You can copy a legendary creature, however all those with same name are put into graveyard immediately, but their "enters the battlefield triggers trigger. This as well as Clone is a good way to kill legendaries, though Clone is better since it can copy those with shroud or protection.
Once got 5 Balefire Lieges with this, lost the game cuz my opponent blasted me with his liege next turn
However, in my mind, this belongs to an ally deck

What is the outcome of using rite of replication on a man-land like celestial colonnade will it produce 1(5) serra angel tokens for me? will it produce serra angel tokens that count as lands as well? or is the target in some way illegal?

This (with kicker) + any of the Kamigawa legendary dragons + legendary trigger = EPIC WIN.
With Yosei, the Morning Star, you can tap up to 30 permanents, and they don't untap in six turns. Plenty of time to win.
With Keiga, the Tide Star, you can gain control of 6 creatures. Always nice.
Kokusho, the Evening Star: If this isn't epic, I don't know what is. Each opponent loses 30 life, and you gain 30 life for each opponent. Think 5-player multiplayer. (Though they'll probably be too dead to care about your life anyway...)
Ryusei, the Falling Star doesn't benefit from this as much as the others, but 30 damage for each non-flyer is a Wrath of God most of the time.
Finally Jugan, the Rising Star. 30 +1/+1 counters on your creatures. Right on the colors of Simic by the way, pumping graft pretty well. And who said 1/1s with trample are use... (see all)

@JasonC2
Your examples for kickers are not entirely correct.
True, you can pay kickers when playing a spell without paying its mana cost, but the wording of the effect has to be exactly that (such as Maelstrom Archangel).
However, this does not work when you are not actually "casting" the card, such as with the activated ability of Elvish Piper or Dramatic Entrance, as those merely tell you to put the card on the battlefield, not cast it for free, giving you no chance to pay alternate costs (meaning you can't kick a card put onto the battlefield with Elvish Piper).
So yes, you could play this card for free and pay the kicker on top of it with the archangel, but the archangel and piper's effects are not the same.

It shines in Tron and 8Post decks the most.
The funny thing is using this kickered on an Eternal Witness.
BAM: Get 5 Eternal Witness tokens, all of them triggered, then Rite of Replication goes to the graveyard, the 5 triggers needs targets, one of them targets the Rite and then they go on the stack, they resolve and you get Rite back with up to 4 other cards.
I want this card at least 3 times.

Onoz. Someone already came up with the idea to make UG for Zendikar. :<
Oh well. All the stuff I'd need to make such a deck work is mythic rare, so it looks like back to forfeiting all my money on terrible cards again, like spring leaf drums.
