Combos with Little Girl to get funny looks from your opponent.

Strictly more black-flavored than Dark Ritual.
Here's a card that needs a reprint; mana ramp in black should come at a cost.

Turn 1: Memnite, this, Phyrexian Obliterator.
I will be accepting your pleas for mercy now.

I find this card as useful as Dark Ritual, especially in my Spirit Reanimator deck. I use it on creatures like Nether Shadow, Nether Traitor and Bloodghast to free up mana for my instants and sorceries, or for other, bigger creatures. But its uses go beyond that, easily making Culling the Weak 1 of the 3 most important cards in this deck.
Example -
Turn 1: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Entomb Iname, Death Aspect, Exhume Iname.
Turn 2: Swamp, Culling the Weak, sacrifice Iname, raise 4 Nether Traitor in addition to the 4 Nether Shadow I raised at upkeep and the 4 Bloodghast I raised when I played the second Swamp.
I then have that extra 
from the second Swamp to Unearth any of the more use-specific Spirit creatures, such as Kataki, War's Wage (if I'm... (see all)

What were the rules when this was printed?
Under Revised rules any cost that was presented cost: effect format without tapping as cost could be paid several times as a bundle. So you only needed to activate your COP: Black once when you paid five black mana to Pestilence.
So under those rules you could sacrifice several creatures when playing this and get the effect as many times as the number of sacrificed creatures.

I use it in my Zombie Mill deck with Nightscape Familiar to summon another from my hand and regenerate the other.You pay 1 mana to get 2 creatures and use and additional land mana! Love it <3
