This card is part of a cycle of five cards from Beta (comprised of four common cards and one rare card) that do something relating to a value of three. While Ancestral Recall is quite the sought-after outlier in the cycle, being the rare therein, each of these cards is still something special for this reason. Dark Ritual, as you can see, is the black card in the cycle, which spans all colors in the game. Furthermore, according to the item's auction listing on Heritage Auctions' website:
