What should I change to add in 4 {burning wish}?
Probably -2 {Xantid Swarm}, -1 {Rain of Filth}, -1 {Duress}.
What do you think of {Dark Petition} here?
Not much of a legacy player, but would {Flusterstorm} be good?

I think it costs far too much mana. Yes, it does give you 3 black after, but if you do cast it, you are just begging for a counterspell to hit you. and you have to cast it while you are comboing off. I have used infernal tutor on t2 to find another ritual then combo t3.
As for removing xantid swarm, like 50+% of legacy decks have fow. I really like having them in. I like the 1 of rain of filth for a {dark ritual} plus maby a little more.
Usually a sideboard card since its dead against the 49-% that don't have FoW. Minimizing dead cards is super important in storm and having xantid requires a whole other color in main board.
btw, you have 7 copies of {Cabal Ritual}
Why no{Cabal Therapy}?
