About Rite of Ruin

Rite of Ruin, Sorcery, designed by Clint Cearley first released in May, 2012 in the set Avacyn Restored. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 78.18.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board and disrupting the opponent's strategy would benefit from using Rite of Ruin, as it can effectively dismantle their resources. However, there are more efficient cards like Damnation or Wrath of God that provide similar board wipe effects without requiring specific types of permanents to sacrifice, making them better options in most cases. Rite of Ruin could see play in specific strategies that heavily rely on permanent types, but overall, it may not be the most competitive choice in most decks.
