I don't think that's good enough ramping to warrant losing a card and 2 life. It would make more sense if it would at least generate 2 black mana.

Also, Magic R&D has basically shifted "fast mana" like Dark Ritual out of Black and into Red.

I think if it would generate 2 black mana then it would be overpowered, almost like dark rituals since lets say you started with 2 of them in your hand, you could have 5 black mana first turn. So I think its exactly right? pretty useful for first turn and even afterwards. if you really think its too weak I guess you could add cycling, but I think its pretty balanced as is
