Help with Mono-Black,
Commander (EDH) forum

I'm building a deck with Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni and would like to know some cards you guys think would really fit. I need to know the must have cards to make the deck operate well. If anyone has a deck with him as your commander, a link would be awesome!

Discard and kill spells are typically your best bet, helps get creatures into their graveyards. Also cards that give landwalking or unblockability, like Whispersilk Cloak , would also work nicely.
Just as a head's up, threads like these should probably go in the Deck Help forum.

It's worth noting that Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni cannot be cheated in from the command zone, so unblocked creatures aren't that important. Ninjitsu reads "Put this card into play from your hand tapped and attacking."
Making Ink-Eyes unblockable remains important though, so cards like Rogue's Passage and Trailblazer's Boots would probably earn a slot as well as a means to get your opponents creatures into the graveyard. Life's Finale springs to mind.

You should link your deck if/when you make it. Anyway, mono-black EDH decks do well to include cards like Mikaeus, the Unhallowed , Phyrexian Obliterator , Crypt Ghast , Rune-Scarred Demon , Geth, Lord of the Vault , Sanguine Bond , Exquisite Blood Grey Merchant of Asphodel etc. You can do a keyword search for cards that'll help you get through with Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni on Gatherer, such as Tormented Soul and the like.
