Ok, most decks I build I build around a commander. Pick a dude, and have everyone follow that dude into battle! Not this deck, this deck works differently, it needs Erebos and doesn't need him at the same time.

Allow me to back up. This is mono-black, it's mean. And it get's big fast. 80.555% of the land is swamps for their speed. No more shock lands, no bounce or tapped lands, I like my lands to have haste!

Then there's the ramp... Crypt Ghast, Gauntlet of Power , Caged Sun, Dark Ritual, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Lake of the Dead and Magus of the Coffers . Yes, I have generated 56 black mana on a turn before. Burnished Hart and Solemn Similocron is in there to grab me some more if I want, Paradise Plume is great in a mono colored deck. Lastly Terrain Generator in in there to help get some of the swamps in my hand onto the field.

No that I have all the mana I want. Step 2 is to HAZ ALL TEH CARDS!!! This is where Erebos, God of the Dead comes in... card draw. So manny time I play and empty my hand of all but a Kill spell I don't need or a reanimate spell with nothing in the graveyard to bring to life. and have to pass the turn with nothing new to show. Not with Erebos! with him I'll dump all my remaining mana (save a couple for a kill spell) into all the card I can afford! Combine that with the rest of my draw spells and I may as well play with my deck in hand! Necropotence and Pyrexian Arean help.

Next... answers. What good is a deck if your opponent beats you first? First a counter spell. A COUNTER SPELL? In BLACK!?! Yep... three technically exist. But the only one I like is Withering Boon. Now kills spells... Slaughter Pact , Murder, Go for the Throat, and Avatar of Woe and better yet... Exile spells...Silence the Believers, and dark imposter .

Board wipes... Love board wipes... Mutilate get past Indestructible, Life's Finale let's me look for reanimate targets. Plague Wind and the newer In Garruk's Wake are ideal. the mana is rarely an issue. Consume the Meek for Insta-kill tokens and Elves. Black Sun's Zenith is good for annoying generals and other hard to kills.

Next... the reanimate pile. Sepulchral Primordial, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Phyrexian Reclamation, Reanimate, Animate Dead, Zombify, Rise from the Grave, Tempt with Immortality , Fated Return , and the king (or queen)... Rise of the Dark Realms

Then there's the life pile: Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Exquisite Blood, Vampire Nighthawk, and Paradise Plume.

Tutors... because black loves tutors... Diabolic Tutor, Insidious Dreams , Diabolic Revelation, and Increasing Ambition

After all that the deck is basically mono-black beat face.

Any tips would be great : )
