    Another thing about Mono Black that people don't always realize: It's an amazing Ramp Color, rivaled only by green. Cabal Coffers/Urborg, Crypt Ghast, Nirkana Revenant, Artifact Mana/Doublers. It can explode really, really quickly; especially since they have access to the best tutors. My favorite color is green, but black is definitely my second favorite. Of course, I tend to play black like green but whatever.

      I don't really consider that ramp though. Black is good at doubling its mana, but doubling your mana isn't ramp, Rampant Growth is ramp, Wood Elves is ramp. Crypt Ghast is not ramp.

      in terms of ramp,
      green > white > black > blue > red
      that is all

      @@augustandre7122 well I want to build around a sacrifice theme so I considered Yawgmoth, but he gave so much value I found the deck kind of built itself and wasn't super unique or interesting. Currently looking at Endrek Sahr, Shirei, or maybe some sort of mono black partner combination of Keskit, Nadier, Tormod, or Tevesh

    I run Erebos, God of the Dead as Commander of my mono-black EDH deck. Card draw for days, lots of ramp and big, dumb spells. It's fun.

    I love my mono black decks in edh. Been using the newish 40k decks and the traveler / the infinite for when we play the lower end of high power decks. When it comes to cedh, black is a no brainer for me. Insanity!

    I started EDH in shards of Alara, I built a Mono Black deck when people didn’t have a clue. The deck was so dirt nasty OP I took it apart. I would be killing the table almost every game even after they would team up against me.
    I did run into slight trouble against a player with a Optimized Azami lady of scrolls deck that ran future sight to just auto draw the deck. But I shut it down with hand removal and underworld dreams. I was even beating Zur the enchanter decks. And believe me back then Zur was tier 0 meta
