Black or blue mana ramp cards

Deck Help forum

I'm looking for cards that will help my standard black/blue deck deck:whats-yours-is-mine-suggestions-please get more mana out faster. It's a good deck, and once I get 6-7 mana out, I do very well. I know of things I can add that will allow me to simply survive that long, but I would rather get the big cards out earlier, if possible. Thoughts?

p.s. I miss Dark Ritual

nevermind you have no artifacts. Blue and Black don't really do ramp. The point of those colors is to control hand, library, and board so that they can still have solid board position late game to drop bombs

Once Innistrad comes out, the next best thing would probably be Heartless Summoning . And then you could always use Solemn Simulacrum .

What squire1 said. Black and Blue have no ramp, so you need to add artifacts if you want any sort of ramp. Sphere of the Suns and Solemn Simulacrum are the only actual artifact ramp cards that come to mind.
