Rootcall for the Battlefield
Growing Rites of Itlimoc is a practical ramp engine for creature focused decks and it reads like a concise tutor on a stick. When Growing Rites of Itlimoc enters the battlefield you sift four cards for a creature and can immediately convert that draw into a threat or a piece of interaction. The foil treatment from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan gives this legendary enchantment a subtle sheen that highlights the cavernous green magic while keeping the card in near mint condition for play or display.
This card also flips into a land if you maintain a strong board presence so it scales well across the midgame. At the beginning of your end step if you control four or more creatures Growing Rites of Itlimoc transforms and becomes a reliable late game accelerator. Use it where creature density matters and where converting board presence into mana solves sequencing problems without consuming extra slots in your deck list.
