"Find me cards equivalent to: Culling the Weak"

Cards equivalent to Culling the Weak (Instant, Black, similar mana ritual effect, with a sacrifice):
1. Dark Ritual — Instant, {B}, Add {B}{B}{B}. No sacrifice required.
2. Plunge into Darkness — Instant, {1}{B}, Sacrifice any number of creatures; scry X & gain X life.
3. Altar's Reap — Instant, {1}{B}, Sacrifice a creature, draw two cards. (Different effect; same cost structure.)

Closest in color, type, and cost is still Dark Ritual, but it lacks the sacrifice. No exact modern equivalent.
Example card: Dark Ritual

Reason: No newer card requires both sacrifice and gives four black mana at instant speed.
