actually, I really like this card for giving specifically 3 black mana. I run in my {B}{W} deck whose kill card is {B}{B}{B}. It's dificult to actually get to {B}{B}{B} in multicolor, but this helps. Obviously I also run Dark Ritual, but I don't always draw it. Having 4 of these allows me to almost always draw something akin to Dark Ritual.

Excellently balanced. It's a decent but unremarkable card on turn 2, but later on in the game it becomes awesome, but at that point it's OK to have a card this explosive.

Very well designed card.
Early game, it is a 1 mana ramp, helping combo decks work that much faster. Later in the game when you have threshold (very easy for a UB deck post-sideboard), the card is so explosive its still useful and doesn't feel like a dead draw.

They colorshifted both parts of this card into two different red cards, Pyretic ritual and Seething song, enabling dragonstorm to be the powerhouse it is.

So normaly it is not as good as a Dark ritual, but with threshold it is better. Not the best card for early game, but it can give you a mana boost later in the game. Good for spells that have X mana costs. Also probably a lot easier to get your hands on than a dark ritual. (might work well with thrulls)

Definitely not as good as Dark Ritual, but with threshold, it can really shine.

T1 - Putrid imp, discard stinkweed or Grave-troll
T2 - Dredge the discarded card, discard it again (and possibly another card or use a spell) use Cabal Ritual to get you a strong demon like Abyssal Persecutor, Desecration Demon, or similar. Attack for 2 flying.
T3 - Well. You attack for 8 this turn, seems like the rest of your hand should tell you what the plan is from here!
That said, consider using Avatar of Discord to get cards in the yard early on (with a dark rit!), dredge T2 for 2-5.

Dark Ritual is faster, but the Cabal Ritual is more solid in the right deck.
