I recently read an article about how kicking right of replication made some strange loop that would give you somewhere in the range of 3 million golems. I will try and find it. Did they have it wrong?

I don't think it would make that many, maybe of you had 2 or three of the golems and their spawn already in play.

There's probably a way to go infinite with Rites and the Golem. I'd have to mull that one for a bit.

I found the article! The math is in the Q and A section at the bottom.

So it is a two kicked rite of replication to do this combo you need 13 mana, but you get several million golems! I guess this would work in an architect deck.

Ah the beauty of compounding math!  I may have to do this one time for S&G.

BTW Grand Architect mana can't be used for Rite of Replication, unless you mean something else.

Am I confused or can you not kick rite of replication more than once?

You can only pay the kicker once. You can pay replicate costs any number of times, but that has nothing to do with Rite of Replication oddly enough.
So, going back to your earlier post, you'd need to either cast two copies at nine mana each, or a copy effect, like Twincast. But I'm not sure if that would work.

Edit: nope. Won't work. The Precursor Golem's ability won't trigger off a copied spell. Only cast spells.
