WIP, need to trim a few more cards but so far this deck works well in my 75% meta.

The main idea of the deck is to generate insane amounts of mana via Cabal Coffers and Magus of the Coffers and play huge impact bombs that mess with peoples' boards/strategies, or just end the game outright.

You have tutors such as Expedition Map, Beseech the Queen, Dark Petition, Diabolic Revelation, Diabolic Tutor, Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Rune-Scarred Demon that help "ramp" you up to that big mana. If you already have Cabal Coffers, other common land tutor targets include Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to increase your Swamp count for Coffers, or Petrified Field / Thespian's Stage to provide a little bit of redundancy in case your opponents point an Acidic Slime or Strip Mine your way (and they will, if they have a brain in their head). **Note: I only own a single Vampiric Tutor and Demonic Tutor and they are busy elsewhere, but obviously they go into any black deck, so if yours are free, they're both no-brainers here. So is Crucible of Worlds if you own one.

Mana doublers in Crypt Ghast, Gauntlet of Power and Caged Sun are alternative means to increase mana development.

In either case above, the number of Swamps you have in play is important, so in addition to making your normal land drops, I've included 4 cards that allow some degree of ramp: Sword of the Animist, Wayfarer's Bauble, Burnished Hart, and Myriad Landscape.

Once you're making a ton of mana, just repeatedly drop your BBC onto the table... Your opponents will likely struggle to advance their game plan when your Big Black Creatures are killing all their creatures or making you an army of harpies. Or you just kill them outright with shit like Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Exsanguinate, Torment of Hailfire, or Kokusho, the Evening Star, and Blade of Selves for the LULs.

Weakest part about Mono Black is obviously its inability to deal with Artifacts and Enchantments. I have Nevinyrral's Disk, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Steel Hellkite, and Scour from Existence in here as pretty much the sole means of dealing with those. I might also add in Karn Liberated and Perilous Vault at some point if I deem them necessary, but so far I haven't.
