As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature.
Draw two cards.
The Skelle raise scorn poles in conquered villages—cursed totems of wood and bone that sap survivors of physical strength and the will to fight back.

Where it came from
Village Rites was originally introduced in the 2020 expansion Core Set 2021, serving as a tactical common card designed to provide black-aligned decks with efficient card advantage through creature sacrifice. Its inclusion in the 2022 Game Night: Free-for-All boxed set marked its return as a staple utility piece, intended to facilitate the aggressive, high-interaction gameplay typical of multiplayer formats. The card design highlights the color pie's emphasis on trading expendable resources for greater strategic depth.
The artwork for this version was provided by Igor Kieryluk, a veteran illustrator whose work consistently defines the dark, gothic aesthetic of the game. Kieryluk’s illustration captures a moment of grim ritualism, utilizing a palette of deep shadows and stark highlights to emphasize the sacrificial theme. Upon release, the card was widely praised by players for its balance of low mana cost and significant utility, cementing its status as an essential tool for midrange and combo strategies.
