Black Stalling Enchantments (Multiplayer)
Commander Deck Help forum

I'm running a mono black combo deck, and I was looking for permanents in my colors that can stall the board for a decent amount of time.
Contamination will stall anyone not playing solid black as long as you can sac creatures.

Descent into Madness will stall for a while, but it accumulates very quick.

Lethal Vapors is one of my favorites. Just make sure you're not the one who will have to skip a turn - don't play it against decks that can win without creatures.

And Infernal Darkness is an alternative to Contamination. It costs life rather than creatures.

Both could be used if Grave Betrayal and creatures like Hell's Caretaker and the enchantment Endless Ranks of the Dead, Contamination can be fed. I would say find out which card is cheaper to buy then work off that.

Spreading Plague, Lethal Vapors and Tainted AEther are pretty cool. I have been brewing a ob nixilis control deck based on them, it's just pure hate till it can win. There's also Koskun Falls, Night of Souls' Betrayal, Death Match, Death Pits of Rath for slowing creature decks down.

Does your playgroup allow proxies or is your budget limitless? Chains of Mephistopheles works wonders.

Magus of the Abyss for those of us with a tighter budget ;)

Woops sorry... Magus is definitely not an enchantment but had to throw it out there as a alternative.

I believe most of your stalling tools will be the same as any color, Artifacts. It all depends on what you want to do. Stuff like Null Rod, Winter Orb, Tangle Wire, Smokestack, etc.
