I have played MTG since I was a kid and obviously it would be amazing to keep this card
Of course, if you have some kind of graveyard shenanigans, getting this into your graveyard will get you ready for 30/30 over 6 bodies for 8 mana that dodges non-ability countering counter spells, so that's also worth taking into account
Contaminant Grafter can apply poison counters with the dangerous keyword combination of trample and toxic 1, along with a 6/6 body to make it even more difficult to block fully
But however you do it, the main goal for ramp is to cast big spells to put you in the front seat of every other deck
Birthing Ritual Birthing Ritual is a fascinating card that Yawgmoth players will likely play as a four-of over This card can do three specific things if you control a creature: Look at the top seven cards of your library at your end step with no other actions Look at the top seven cards of your library at your end step and sac a creature (unconditional sac outlet, if you will) You can use the full effect: look at seven cards, sac a creature, and get that sweet We have Birthing Podat home effect This card is really versatile, and I think its easy to look at it and evaluate purely as a lower-cost, albeit narrower, Birthing Pod, but it can just be a way to get free information and trigger leave the battlefield or when a creature dies effects
