Biovisionary + Rite of Replication

Overview
Rite of Replication creates token copies of the targeted creature; those tokens copy the copiable values (including name) of the targeted creature per , and token creatures that are copies of Biovisionary count toward Biovisionary’s win condition per Ruling [2013-01-24]. If Rite (kicked or otherwise) resolves earlier in the turn so that you control four or more creatures named Biovisionary by the beginning of the end step, Biovisionary’s end-step instruction will see four or more and you will win that game.
Step 1
You cast Rite of Replication, targeting a Biovisionary and optionally paying the kicker cost to create five tokens instead of one; when the spell resolves it creates token(s) that are copies of the targeted Biovisionary according to .
Step 2
Those tokens enter the battlefield under your control; because they are copies of the Biovisionary they have that card’s name and other copiable values as described in .
Step 3
Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature trigger when those tokens enter the battlefield (Ruling [2025-09-19]).
Step 4
Token creatures that are copies of Biovisionary count as creatures named Biovisionary for the card’s condition (Ruling [2013-01-24]).
Step 5
If, by the time the game reaches the beginning of the end step, you control four or more creatures named Biovisionary (original plus tokens and any other Biovisionaries), Biovisionary’s end-step instruction’s condition is met and you will win the game per the card’s text.
Resolution
When Rite of Replication targets a Biovisionary and resolves, it creates token copies of that Biovisionary. The tokens are copies and therefore have the name Biovisionary under , and token Biovisionaries count for the card’s condition (Ruling [2013-01-24]). If, as a result, you control four or more creatures named Biovisionary by the time Biovisionary’s end-step check happens, you win the game. Any relevant enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when those tokens enter (Ruling [2025-09-19]).
