Still pretty new to EDH, so looking for some experienced eyes to let me know if I'm missing anything obvious, and whether it looks like I have the right number:

Crypt Ghast allows you to double the mana from your swamps which combos well with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.
Nirkana Revenant is the other big mana doubler in mono-black that I would recommend.
There's always Magus of the Coffers if you need another ramp card but the first two I suggested tend to be better.
Sweet deck!

I almost always run Crypt Ghast and Magus of the Coffers together. Redundancy is good.
I guess I could have mentioned those cards but I saw the question as "Mana Rocks" and didn't think past that lol. My bad.

Your average converted mana cost is very high. I'd say go 38 lands to make sure you hit those drops. Skull of Ramos and Darksteel Ingot aren't very good. Mana Vault and a low-costing rock like Coldsteel Heart (if you need the colored mana) or Everflowing Chalice/Thought Vessel (if you want untapped colorless mana). There's a bunch of good options, but you'll generally want cheap rocks.

Caged Sun, produces extra mana for any land that produces
.
Gauntlet of Power doubles the mana your BASIC lands produce. This is a field effect, but typically it should ramp you harder than your opponents.
Considering you are already running Extraplanar Lens with Snow-Covered Basics, I believe that's the help I can give you.
