Cabal Ritual

Reprinting Choices in Commander Products

Why do we get cards reprinted in Commander products, like Chaos Warp, that are breaks but get reprinted, while cards like Cabal Ritual don't get reprints in these types of products even though they're less of a break?

Reprint products are allowed to reprint color pie breaks as long as they don’t add them to a new format. I assume they reprint Chaos Warp more than Cabal Ritual because it’s more in demand.

Shift in Black's Rituals

Why did magic move away from rituals for black? Dark ritual was absolutely as iconic for black as lightning bolt is for red or counterspell for blue when I was younger and I still have a deck with dark ritual cabal ritual and culling the weak but recently there have been few to none in black and it seems to have moved more into red, is there a specific reason for this?

Yes, black had too big a piece of the color pie, so stuff was moved to other colors. Red’s all about short term gain, so rituals made sense there.
