The main plan of this deck is to stall with removal,keeping your opponent's creatures off the board until you drop a massive creature like Griselbrand or Hythonia the Cruel. Though often I simply win by Corrupting my opponent to death.

Griselbrand is a huge bomb that will keep cards in my hand and gain back any life lost against aggro or my own spells.

Liliana's Reaver is there in case you need an early creature. And it is very powerful if your opponent has an empty board do to your removal.

Mutilateand Hythonia the Cruel serve as board sweeps if the game gets out of hand.

What better way to end the game than 26 2/2 zombies from Army of the Damned .

Sorin Markov is a beat stick. Often I'll play him make my opponents life total ten and five turns later kill them with his +2.He also gains back life lost against aggro.

Corrupt is an amazing game ender or it can buy more time all around it's very powerful. I don't know if it's better than Sorin's Vengeance or not.

This my mono black control deck I hope you enjoy it please comment with suggestions and +1. P.S I have some trouble against aggro so if anyone has suggestions please help. :)
