Deck Description

This is my tried-and-true mono-black control deck. Its play style is generally defensive until it finds either a mana-accelerant ( e.g. Cabal Coffers) or a card draw accelerant (e.g. Phyrexian Arena).
I have already won 90% of my games uncontested if I can find and play both types of accelerants within the first three-five turns.

This deck's strongest match-ups are versus:
Weenie-aggro, mid-range ramp, creature-based control mirror, token spam, and draw-flood mill.

This deck's weakest match-ups are versus:
Creatureless decks, combo-control.

How to Play

Breakdown:
17 creatures with five+ power, 11 board sweepers, 8 sorcery speed creature destruction, 7 card draw accelerants, 6 swamp-mana ramps, 6 creature spot removal, 5 card tutors

Deck discussion for EDH: Mono Black Commander

What is the commander?
Also, only 100 cards in EDH, including the commander.

Still, I like a good, old mono black deck-of-death!!!

as previously stated you can only have 100 cards including the commander, and griselbrand is banned in EDH.

Also i don't think 34 land is quite enough you should really have about 40

A couple cards you may want are lilliana of the dark realms and strata scythe
