Inspired by the Success of the Mono-Black aggro decks in Pioneer and the number of creatures in that deck that have Activated Abilities. This is my take on that deck using Zirda as a Companion.

While Zirda gives some value with the recursive creatures the big payoffs are with Knight of the Ebon Legion being able to get pumped to insane values and Pack Rat Being able to dump your hand and create a giant rat swarm.
