Daily Combo 3: Too Many Golems!

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.
