Imprint Rite of replication onto Panoptic mirror.
At the beginning of next upkeep, you need only pay the kicker cost to get 5 copies! This is confirmed by a tourney judge.

Also note that this can be done using only neutral mana!

Very nice combo. Good find.
This Combo works due to the text on th emirror which explicitely states that the spell is cast. Therefore you are allowed to pay additional costs (e. g. kicker). If just a copy would be put on the stack, then you wouldn't be allowed to pay additional costs.
