Where it came from
Growing Rites of Itlimoc was released in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering expansion Ixalan. The card is a double-faced enchantment that transforms into the legendary land Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun, echoing the design mechanics of the iconic card Gaea's Cradle. It was created to represent the discovery of ancient, powerful sites within the mesoamerican-inspired setting of the plane of Ixalan, serving as a focal point for green-aligned decks that rely on creature swarms.
The artwork was a collaborative effort between Grzegorz Rutkowski, who illustrated the enchantment side, and Jared Blando, who designed the map-like aesthetic of the transformed land. Their goal was to evoke a sense of archaeological discovery and hidden majesty, blending lush jungle foliage with the architectural grandeur of a sun-worshipping civilization. The card was well-received by players for its tactical utility and its thematic integration into the Ixalan narrative.
