Five mana is a lot more than four mana, and Deathreap Ritual also triggers when villain's creatures die. I vote for Deathreap Ritual.
Thanks for the answers. I'm mainly interested in a card with a solid floor that gives you value over the course of a longer game, so Ritual it is.
There's also Twinblade Assassins from the new set, which oh wow I just noticed was a 5/4. I thought it was a 3/2. Higher floor, but only triggers once per turn cycle.

Twinblade Assassins is kind of the most narrow possible: Your turn, your creatures.
In terms of a BG value card, given the payoff is the same (draw a card) I'd want to make it as broadly applicable as possible, so I think deathreap gets the edge here for me.

I think being a creature makes Assassins far more useful for the kind of deck that wants to make and sacrifice (and probably, in BG, find + recur) creatures than either of the enchantments

If you want further arguments
Thanks, I didn't see that card yet (or I forgot about it?). I will put it on the maybe list, but my cube is kinda slow and runs a lot of efficient creature removal, so I doubt that the Assassins will get more than one trigger most of the time.

Further arguments are always appreciated
Overall, I think I'll try Deathreap Ritual and if it sucks Moldervine Reclamation and/or the Assassins. I favor a solid floor and "guaranteed" value over some explosive combos.
At least one of these has to go, but i like them all...
Here’s another one...

Emergent Ultimatum seems like the hardest to cast and least synergystic one of these four.
cut Ultimatum or Sidisi IMO. the other two are just cooler!

Cut Sidisi? You madman! That's the coolest (and cheapest and most castable) one of the four! Plus she enables both Mimeoplasm and Muldrotha!
You can assume these guys will normally get reanimated turn 4 based on the package i’m going to run with them.
Beckoner>Scion>Abomination
I have a soft spot for scion, but I think beckoner is quite a bit better in most circumstances...the deathtouch counter has a lot of play to it
If you had a strong mill your opponent theme, scion could have a lot of play. Without, I think it’s clearly Beckoner
