Yes, this card effectively says:

Cast for , add 2 mana of one color, then 2 mana of a different color (ex. ,) but only use the mana to cost a creature or enchantment spell.

So it's a decent piece of mana acceleration and fixing for a common instant speed spell.

IDK, rituals are good in cEDH decks like Godo, but a bit unreliable otherwise. I personally like my ramp to stick around, and these days we have enough rocks that even mono R/W have enough. Rituals like Mana Geyser and Battle Hymn are the best because they provide game-winning amounts of mana when set up right, but generally the card disadvantage is prohibitive for this kind of card. I will say that having it be modal helps... but who's ever going to use the pump effect, really?

Mcat1999 I wouldn't say it's significantly better for Melek, Izzet Paragon since the mana being generated can only be spent on creatures and enchantments (typically Melek decks are lighter on creatures at least)
