You'll have to excuse the name for this card. It's a good chance that one card from Challenge # 167 will end up in Name That Card. Those that don't, I'll go back and name later.
Anyhow, Mythic 3-cost Red Artifact based around ramp. Ramp is... you know, it would have been easy to pretend that ramp and ritual is the same thing, but it isn't. I wanted something that could clearly be a red ramp spell. And while that's not unheard of in red, it's tough to do a cost-efficient mythic with red ramp.
So I dipped a little into ritual space. But the second ability could just be a clean ramp. If the first ability dumps enough lands into your graveyard (or you already had five lands in your graveyard) it's just five mana for five Raise Deadlands. Admittedly, it's kind of nice how this being an artifact let me stretch into that second ability.
