Rite of Belzenlok

Description

Rite of Belzenlok is a black Enchantment — Saga from the 2018 Dominaria expansion, identified as card number 102 in the set. This foil version features the distinct shimmering finish that collectors appreciate within the DOM set code release. As a Saga, the card functions through a unique progression system, adding lore counters as it stays on the battlefield rather than acting immediately upon entry. The card's mechanics allow it to build momentum over time. During its first two chapters, it creates two 0/1 black Cleric creature tokens for each counter added. The final chapter transforms the board state significantly by producing a 6/6 black Demon creature token. This Demon possesses flying and trample, along with a continuous upkeep cost requiring the sacrifice of another creature or taking 6 damage to the controller. This design makes it a centerpiece for black-aligned decks seeking board presence. Seb McKinnon provided the artwork for this Magic: The Gathering trading card game card, contributing to the visual identity of the Dominaria series. The Mana Cost of {2}{B}{B} places it in the mid-range mana curve, requiring players to manage their resources carefully before casting. Its four mana value ensures it enters the game at a strategic point in the match. Collectors often seek out the foil treatment for its aesthetic appeal and tactile quality, making it a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. The card's status as a Rare within the set adds to its collectibility among enthusiasts of the format.
