This looks absolutely heinous! I was reading through it thinking to muself: "damn this is cool! I really want to suggest some of the cool black mana accelrants I know! How about bubbl... no matter... magus of.... nope... cabal c.... feck..." well done, dude. This looks really tight. Have you considered Corrupt and Tendrils of Corruption for additional blam/drain? Also Black Mana Battery might just be worth it :) stay frosty!

Thanks! I spent a few weeks compiling options to assist in properly accelerating the deck and am feeling pretty good about it.

Corrupt is too mana-intensive for what it does. Even in late-game, 8-10 damage isn't gonna get me there in most multiplayer games. Tendrils of Corruption is better, but the creature restriction is what got it dropped. As cool as Black Mana Battery is, it's super slow for what it's getting me. I'm afraid that's also a pass.

See anything you think should be cut?

It's cool. I figured you had already sifted through those. Nah man. I can't think of anything. It all looks smashing!

This deck would be amazing with a Black Market.

Mqhartley: I'll have to test it out in my physical version of this deck. It looks promising if I can get the Contamination lock running or drop it before a boardwipe.

This deck only has 99 cards so id suggest rune scarred demon, dance of the dead or chainer. Also how this deck is not named throwing all the shade, ill never know.

hm, Subterranean Hangar and Everglades?

If you got the money, a little Crucible of Worlds shell may be great, with fetchlands for assuring land drops and Lake of the Dead for exposive mana.

Also, consider using Sidisi, Undead Vizier as your commander, she was great on a monoblack ramp shell I've made awhile ago.

chaosumbreon87: Not sure how I did that. Rune-Scarred Demon is good choice. Any others you'd consider running in that slot?

I'll be damned if I ever name a deck after that ridiculous phrase.

jomes: Mind posting a little louder? The formatting is a little small.

This isn't intended to be a competitive build yet. I can't afford the Crucible package for this. Damnation was the big splurge to cap off the build. Lake of the Dead would be in if Crucible was, but that also demands a fetch package. Sidisi would be fun if this wasn't a flavor build. Maga has more of a Shade feel than Sidisi. If this was meant to be competitive Big Black Mana, I'd run Sidisi without a second thought.

ok my suggestions:

Rune-Scarred Demon, Panharmonicon, Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Chainer, Dementia Master, Duplicant, Geth, Lord of the Vault, Massacre Wurm, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Bubbling Muck, Sever the Bloodline, Living Death, Decree of Pain

most are pretty flavorful or are just good
