Where it came from
Rites of Initiation was originally released as part of the Odyssey expansion set for Magic: The Gathering in 2001. Designed by Wizards of the Coast during a period focused on graveyard-related mechanics, the card was intended to provide players with a strategic discard outlet, allowing them to cycle through their deck while filling their graveyard to fuel other abilities common to the set's themes.
The card’s illustration was provided by artist Bradley Williams, whose work contributed to the visual identity of early 2000s Magic sets. While the card did not achieve widespread competitive prominence in professional formats, it remains a recognized piece from the Odyssey era, appreciated by collectors for its role in enabling synergy-heavy graveyard decks and its quintessential aesthetic of the time.
