Where it came from
Rite of the Serpent was originally released in the 2014 expansion set Khans of Tarkir, designed by Wizards of the Coast for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set explored a time-travel narrative centered on the warring clans of the Tarkir plane, with this particular card representing the flavor of the Sultai Brood, a faction defined by their utilization of dark necromancy and serpent-inspired iconography.
The card features artwork by Aaron Miller, who emphasized the eerie, serpentine aesthetic associated with the Sultai's control over the dead. Its inclusion in 'The List'—a recurring, curated selection of cards from the game's history—allowed players to encounter it in newer booster packs, maintaining its role as a functional common-rarity removal spell that highlights the flavor-heavy design ethos of the original Tarkir block.
