Is Rites of Flourishing cumulative?

Asked by bjb119 11 years ago

If there are 2 [Rites of Flourishing] in play, do you draw 2 extra cards per turn, and can you play 2 extra lands per turn?

Yes. Each triggers individually, so the player would draw as many cards as effects triggered and play as many extra lands as there were Rites of Flourishing . Also, to make links, use 2 brackets. Ex. [ [card name] ] but without spaces

You need to use double brackets to link cards.
Rites of Flourishing

Yes.

Each Rites of Flourishing has a triggered ability that causes players to draw cards. Each Rites of Flourishing 's ability will trigger and resolve separately, resulting in multiple draws for multiple Rites of Flourishing .

"Extra land" effects are cumulative. Since the M14 rules update, land drops now use a theoretical counter. By default, this counter is one per turn.

Effects like those of Rites of Flourishing or Exploration increment the counter. If one of those effects ends (because, for example, the source leaves the battlefield), then the counter decrements. If you later create another extra land effect, the counter goes back up. However, reincrementing the counter doesn't reset that land drop.

For example, you control Exploration and play two lands during your first main phase. Exploration is then destroyed during that main phase. You play Oracle of Mul Daya , revealing a land on the top of your library. Even though you now have two total land drops again, you can't play the extra land because you've already played two lands this turn.

I didn't know that the land drop counter worked like that Epochalyptik. That was a helpful explanation.

@BrounieMan: It hasn't always worked that way; before the M14 rules change, you used to be able to blink Exploration cards because the extra land was tied to that instance of the effect, and the effect would therefore "refresh" if its source left the battlefield and came back. Since the M14 rules update, that is no longer the case.
