Multiply Your Threats
Rite of Replication from Foundations is a precise duplication engine for blue decks. This Near Mint Foil printing preserves the original sorcery frame and foil sheen while delivering the exact text players expect: for {2}{U}{U} you create a token copy of target creature and if you paid the kicker cost of {5} you create five copies instead. Use it to copy a resilient blocker, a planeswalker that can be attacked, or a combo piece that wins once doubled. The Foundations art presents the ritual in cool tones that match control and tempo strategies and the foil finish makes this a tidy piece for both play and collection.
The card functions as a tactical keystone rather than a flashy bomb. Cast it in response to removal or on an open turn to secure card advantage and board presence. The Kicker option rewards a mid to late game spike where a single investment turns one threat into a locked position. For coaches and pilots who evaluate lines and sequencing, Rite of Replication is straightforward to read and devastating when resolved. Add it to a blue shell focused on replication, blink, or sacrifice synergies and you gain reliable redundancy with minimal fuss.
