Description
Village Rites is an Instant from Magic: The Gathering's 2023 set The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, printed in the Commander subset as card number 212. The card carries a B color identity and a single black mana cost with a mana value of 1, making it an efficient play in black decks. Mechanically, casting the spell requires sacrificing a creature as an additional cost and then drawing two cards, providing card advantage at the expense of board presence. The printed rarity for this release is Common, and the credited artist is Igor Kieryluk. As part of the Commander subset, this Village Rites printing fits into Commander-focused collections and set-building for collectors who track subset variants and card numbering. The Lost Caverns of Ixalan set code is LCC, which helps identify this print run for cataloging and cross-referencing. Collectors and casual players often reference the card's role in drafting resources and deck construction when organizing collections or completing subset runs within the 2023 release.
