Players can select an order for artifacts, creatures, and lands, requiring each participant to sacrifice one permanent of the first type chosen, two of the second, and three of the third. This mechanic provides a powerful tool for board control, allowing players to dismantle opposing strategies while managing their own resources. Collectors value this card for its unique gameplay effect and its place in the Avacyn Restored series. The card, illustrated by Clint Cearley, features a rare foil treatment that enhances its desirability among set completists. Whether you are building a comprehensive collection of the Avacyn Restored set or seeking powerful spells for your deck, Rite of Ruin offers both aesthetic and mechanical appeal. Its bold mana cost and impactful effect make it a memorable piece of Magic: The Gathering history.
