Rite of Undoing bounces two nonland permanents — one you control, one your opponent controls — for three mana, and it only works if you control a phased-out permanent. That condition makes it a build-around, not a universal answer: outside dedicated phasing decks, the bounce effect isn't worth engineering the setup.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Rite of Undoing is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees play in exactly one context: Commander phasing decks. In eternal formats like Legacy and Vintage, three mana for conditional bounce is unplayable — those formats have unconditional options at half the cost. In Commander, Rite of Undoing earns a slot specifically when your commander or a key permanent phases out regularly, turning the restriction into a free bounce trigger you can chain. Oathbreaker could support it in a phasing-focused build, but the pool of relevant signatures is narrow.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Rite of Undoing is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. It won't appreciate unless a phasing commander breaks into the mainstream meta, so grab a copy if you need it and don't think twice about the cost.
