If I cast a rite of replication on an Elish norn and my opponent has a four base 4 toughness creature, do I chose the order of SBA so that their creatures die before I sac my EN to the legend rule??

As I explained in my last answer about state-based actions, they're all processed and applied at once with none happening before any others.

This means that your spare Cenobite is put into the graveyard at the same time as any of your opponents creatures that would die from the -4/-4 debuff.

Rite of Replication (4th Level, Conjuration)

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Touch

Components: V, S, M (a number of pearls equal to the number of copies being made, each worth at least 500 gp, consumed in the casting)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

Classes: Druid, Wizard

Magic flows through your fingertips as you imprint all of the information about the target onto the pearl. After doing so, the pearl rapidly expands and shapes itself into an exact duplicate of the target in an unoccupied space of your choice within 10 feet. The copy has the same AC, ability scores, proficiencies, equipment, and remaining hit points as the target. If the copy is summoned while in the middle of combat, it immediately rolls initiative as normal. If the target can cast spells the copy can do so as well, but any spells the copy casts uses the target’s own spell slots. The copy is aware that it is a duplicate created by you, but shares the same affiliation towards you as the original target, and if the original target is hostile towards you, the copy will be as well. If the copy is reduced to 0 hit points or the spell ends, it immediately disappears, as its body disintegrates into salt water and seaweed.

Kicker. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th-level, it instead creates five copies of the target. Each copy has the same statistics as listed above.

This is another Patron Request from December, from a $1 Patron, TolarianAcademyDropout. They asked for a conversion of the spell Rite of Replication, and I was more than ready to take on the challenge. I say “challenge” because when you first look at it, this card seems like it should just be the mirror image spell, but I definitely wanted to make sure to take it in a different direction, especially with that Kicker cost attached to it.

If I were to target Reaper King with a kicked Rite of Replication would I get to destroy 25 permanents like I think it would? Thanks!

There will be 25 triggers, yes.

When Rite of Replication resolves, you’ll get five Reaper King tokens. The original Reaper King triggers once of each of these tokens. (5 triggers) Each of the tokens will trigger for each of the other tokens, but not for themselves, so four triggers for each (4 x 5 = 20 triggers).

Zhur-Taa Ancient. Kicked Rite of Replication kicked and copied twice. Each land taps for seventeen mana.

If I use Rite of Replication on an awakened land do the copys enter my battlefield as 0/0 creatures which die or just normal lands?

You get normal token lands that aren’t creatures.

When a card makes a token copy of something, you just get a copy of that card as it was printed unless other copy effects are affecting it.

Let's say I have just one ally on the field: Halimar Excavator. I play Rite of Replication (Including the kicker) and target HE. how do the 5 tokens interact with the etb trigger? How many cards get milled total this turn?

All six Halimar Excavators will see the five token Halimar Excavators enter the battlefield and will each trigger five times. You get thirty (30) triggers total, and each trigger that resolves will mill six cards, so in total you’d mill 180 cards.
