My LGS has started doing Five-Oh EDH: build a deck with a budget of fifty dollars (basic lands don't count as anything; final price is calculated using TCGplayer mid or market, but all must be the same).

There are so many directions to take mono-black. I considered sacrifice and gradual drain (and may revisit them), but for now I decided on making lots of mana. If the most powerful thing you can do in magic is draw cards, then mana acceleration has to be a close second. This deck does both those in significant quantity.

Drana is the commander because she is both a powerful mana sink and a win condition.

During mulligans, you are looking for some kind of early ramp, and hopefully a little bit of card draw. Casting your commander on five is usually not the worst thing you can do, but there may be better things if you expect her to get removed.

In late game, Drana is a powerful mana sink, but Pontiff of Blight and a lot of extort triggers, or a big Exsanguinate can also close out games. Remember to kick Blood Tribute using Drana.
