Where it came from
Culling Ritual was released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Set within the magical university of Strixhaven, the card represents the aesthetic and mechanical identity of the Witherbloom college, which focuses on the intersection of life and death, or black and green mana. The card was designed to function as a powerful board wipe and mana generator, reflecting the thematic resonance of harvesting essence from the environment to fuel one's own magical potency.
The artwork was commissioned from Lorenzo Mastroianni, a frequent collaborator with Wizards of the Coast known for his dynamic character portraits and atmospheric compositions. Mastroianni was tasked with capturing the visceral, botanical nature of Witherbloom's darker arts. Upon its debut, the card was widely received by the community as a staple for competitive formats like Commander, noted for its ability to punish aggressive board states while simultaneously providing the caster with significant resource acceleration.
