Rites of Spring lets you pitch any number of cards to find that many lands — and in Borborygmos Enraged, every land you discard to cast spells is ammunition, so loading your hand with basics is the whole plan. The cost is real: you're down cards equal to the lands you find, which means it's a liability in any deck that can't immediately weaponize that hand.

Borborygmos Enraged
Borborygmos Enraged turns every land into a Shock, so Rites of Spring pulling five basics out of your deck isn't card disadvantage — it's loading the gun; cast it once and you can close out the game on the spot.

In Commander, Rites of Spring occupies a narrow but well-defined role: it's a land-to-hand engine for commanders who convert lands in hand into damage, tokens, or triggers. Outside of those specific pairings, it's outclassed by ramp spells that put lands directly onto the battlefield. In Legacy and Vintage, the card is legal but sees no meaningful play — the card-neutral ceiling is too low for formats where every card must pull above its weight. Pauper is the one other context where Rites of Spring occasionally surfaces in self-discard or graveyard-fueling shells, though even there it competes with more efficient options.

Price Context
Current price
$0.23 bulk tier
At $0.23, Rites of Spring is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and postage, not the card. It's unlikely to appreciate outside a reprint in a Borborygmos Enraged precon or a sudden spike in land-matters Commander popularity, so buy it when you need it and don't think twice about the cost.
