Description
Root to Ruin
Growing Rites of Itlimoc is a compact piece of utility that pays off in midgame board development. When Growing Rites of Itlimoc enters the battlefield you examine the top four cards of your library and may reveal a creature to add to your hand. That first effect smooths draws and accelerates creature deployment without committing a slot to ramp creatures that might fizzle later.
Its transform condition reads like a clear plan of attack. If you control four or more creatures at your end step Growing Rites of Itlimoc flips into a land that produces mana equal to your creature count. It rewards token strategies and aggressive creature decks while providing a predictable ramp axis in longer games. The extended art here emphasizes the card’s tribal and exploration flavor within The Lost Caverns of Ixalan context and fits into decks that want consistent creature access and late game value.
