Oracle Text
Discard any number of cards at random. Creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn for each card discarded this way.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Rites of Initiation is a classic red tempo-and-aggro trick: for a single red mana, it turns a cluttered hand into immediate combat pressure by discarding any number of cards at random and pumping your team +1/+0 for each one. The random discard makes it feel like a reckless initiation rite rather than a precise ritual, which fits red’s impulsive, all-in philosophy. In practice, it shines when your deck can afford to throw away excess lands or redundant spells and convert them into a sudden lethal swing. It pairs especially well with token strategies, where multiple small creatures become a burst of damage, and with discard payoffs like madness or graveyard-recursion cards that turn the downside into value. Best used when you can empty your hand efficiently, it rewards aggressive sequencing and board presence over long-term resource planning.
