Birthing Ritual is a green enchantment from Modern Horizons 3 that rewards patient planning. In play it sits and waits for your end step, provided you control a creature, offering a strategic look at the top seven cards of your library. You may sacrifice a creature to unlock a potential reanimation from among those revealed cards.
When you sacrifice, you may put a creature card with mana value X or less from among those cards onto the battlefield, where X is 1 plus the sacrificed creature's mana value. The rest are put on the bottom of your library in a random order. This card scales with your board, enabling a controlled mass of creatures over time and giving you a way to tutor value via top deck manipulation. The borderless art from MH3 embodies the instinct to birth beasts, a theme the set leans into.
