    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

    After designing a monoblack/artifact deck, and seeing what cards are available to monoblack I am convinced I am a monoblack “main”. There’s so much stuff that you can do with it.

    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 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
