🖋️ Curator's Notes

Destroy target creature. If that creature had a +1/+1 counter on it, create a 1/1 green Snake creature token.

""From your death, new life. From your loss, our profit." —Kirada, Qarsi overseer"

Official Judge Precedents

4 Precedents

2014-09-20

If the creature is an illegal target as Rite of the Serpent tries to resolve, Rite of the Serpent won’t resolve and none of its effects will occur. You won’t get a Snake token.

2014-09-20

You get the Snake token no matter who controlled the target creature.

2014-09-20

If Rite of the Serpent resolves but the creature isn’t destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible or it regenerated), you’ll get a Snake token if the creature has a +1/+1 counter on it.

2014-09-20

Rite of the Serpent won’t create more than one Snake token, even if the target creature had more than one +1/+1 counter on it.
