Character Background

Growing Rites of Itlimoc is a two-faced tool that excels in creature/value and token-based ramp strategies rather than pure tempo or control; early as the enchantment it digs for creatures and later flips into Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun, a legendary land that converts a wide board of creatures into explosive green mana primarily to cast creature spells. That flip makes it a natural fit in decks that want to turn many small bodies into a single decisive threat—think Avenger of Zendikar into an instant Craterhoof Behemoth finish, or storming out multiple fatties with Chord-style tutors. Deckbuilding tips: include cheap token generators and mana dorks (Llanowar Elves, saproling producers) to reach the creature threshold reliably, and consider Doubling Season or anthem effects to multiply tokens and maximize the land’s payoff. Because both faces are legendary, you usually want one copy as a transformational value engine in any creature-centric green shell.
