Ritual of Hope pumps your entire team and replaces itself — that's a lot of work for two mana at instant speed. It's a staple in go-wide white decks that want a combat trick that doesn't strand you on cards.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

In Commander, Ritual of Hope earns its slot in any white token strategy that's swinging with a board — the convoke rider means a wide battlefield can cast it nearly for free, and the cantrip keeps your hand healthy. Outside Commander, it's legal in Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but those formats move too fast for a two-mana pump spell to matter in most shells. Aggressive white token strategies in Pioneer are the most realistic non-Commander home, where the board-wide buff can steal a game on a stalled board.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Ritual of Hope is deep bulk — you're essentially getting it for free when ordering singles. Price stability is a non-issue; it's not going anywhere, and the floor on bulk rares keeps it right here.
