okay so i am doing a survay and i want peoples opinions on: 1. favorite card from return to ravnica, 2.favorite card over all and 3. best possible combo.  please feel free to post those three.  thanx for the help

1: lotleth troll

2: this one is a little to broad, i would make it the favorite card you have, and say besides basic lands, because people always say the basic lands, for this, i would say my shiny liliana of the veil .

3: grindstone and painter's servant

Too hard to choose, it was a really good set. Here are my favorite things in each color though. The stuff wasn't as impressive as the rest though.

White
Martial Law
Angel of Serenity
Swift Justice

Azorius
Judge's Familiar
Lyev Skyknight
Skymark Roc

Blue
Faerie Impostor
Cyclonic Rift
Chronic Flooding

Izzet
Izzet Charm
Nivix Guildmage
Izzet Staticaster

Red
Mizzium Mortars
Ash Zealot
Electrickery

Rakdos
Rix Maadi Guildmage
Hellhole Flailer
Rakdos Ragemutt

Black
Underworld Connections
Ultimate Price
Thrill-Kill Assassin

Golgari
Grisly Salvage
Dreg Mangler
Lotleth Troll

Green
Savage Surge
Wild Beastmaster
Axebane Guardian

Selesnya
Selesnya Charm
Call of the Conclave
Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage

Okay. I think I'm going to go with:

1: Grisly Salvage
Impulse and Forbidden Alchemy are some of my favorite cards. This one is cheap, in good graveyard colors, is instant speed, digs deep, and dumps stuff in the graveyard. All very good things.

2: Daze
This is hard though. There are a lot of spells that I like.

3: There are a lot of neat little interactions that I really like. Today I'm feeling like Renegade Doppelganger + Geist of Saint Traft . I should probably build a deck around this.

You forgot to turn all their lands into creatures too.

Favorite combo Rite of Replication + Reaper King (destroys 30 permanents or about one multiplayer board's worth)

Take note that your kicked Rite of Replication on your Reaper King will destroy only 25 permanents and not 30.

Kicked Rite of Replication puts five Reaper King copies onto the battlefield.

Original Reaper King sees five scarecrows enter the battlefield and triggers five times. 5
Reaper King 1 sees four other scarecrows enter the battlefield and triggers four times. 5 + 4 = 9
Reaper King 2 sees four other scarecrows enter the battlefield and triggers four times. 9 + 4 = 13
Reaper King 3 sees four other scarecrows enter the battlefield and triggers four times. 13 + 4 = 17
Reaper King 4 sees four other scarecrows enter the battlefield and triggers four times. 17 + 4 = 21
Reaper King 5 sees four other scarecrows enter the battlefield and triggers four times. 21 + 4 = 25

5 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 25

You might as well just say "reset the board"

Nature's Revolt would solve that.

How can you do this combo at all? The Reaper King is a legendary creature. Wouldn't the token copy retain the legendary rule and immediately die since there would be multiples of the same legend out?

This combo does work.  You are correct in that Reaper King is a legendary creature.  You are correct in that copies do copy the card types including "Legendary."  The game itself enforces the legend uniqueness rule and the rule itself is not tied to a particular creature or permanent.

It works because a triggered ability triggers whenever anytime its trigger condition is met even during the middle of a resolving spell or ability and a triggered ability exists independently of its source.

Rite of Replication begins to resolve.
"Put five tokens that are copies of target creature onto the battlefield."
All the triggers mentioned previously trigger but are not yet put on the stack.
Rite of Replication has finished resolving and is put into its owner's graveyard.

Just before any player would regain priority, State-Based Actions are now checked.
The game sees that there are two or more legendary permanents all with the same name and then moves them all to their respective owners' graveyards.  This is not destruction.  Regeneration won't help.  Being indestructible won't help.

After all the State-Based Actions have resolved and there are no more State-Based Actions to resolve, then the triggered abilities are put onto the stack.  The triggered abilties exist independently of their sources so the removal of Reaper King and the copies don't change what happens.

Rules Q&A would gain you the fastest response to a rules question.
