first thing that comes to mind is splash red or white for cards like Kindled Fury or Swift Justice . The other option is artifacts, Sharpened Pitchfork for example.

Moonsilver Spear , Runechanter's Pike , and Sharpened Pitchfork are all Standard-legal cards that can be put into a mono-black deck to give your stuff first strike.

to clarify, I couldn't find anything to give "black creatures first strike". I figured the artifacts were fairly obvious.

Yeah there's nothing like that in the game since giving all of your creatures first strike is a white or red ability.

Well you could always do things like regeneration or buffs too such as Skeletal Grimace or Undying Evil or Necrobite

now what would be better... Ring of Xathrid or Door of Destinies

i plan to use Reassembling Skeleton ...so would that keep giving me a +1 on door?

It would not, you aren't casting it, you are returning it.
