Black In Jeskai Fires Sideboards?
Deck Help forum

Almost every sideboard I've seen for jeskai fires has the elderspell, command the dreadhorde, and other black spells with what looks like no way to cast them. WHY?!
Also, I would assume that the Fires decks running black in the sideboard are main decking Fae of Wishes so they know they will be able to reliably cast the cards they don't have mana for.
Make sure fires hits the board, send Fae on an adventure to grab whatever black removal you sideboarded, use said removal. Return Fae to your hand, rinse, repeat.

As mentioned above, mana color isn't relevant when your deck lets you play cards for free. Black just has some really good cards that make it worth building a toolbox SB.

I don't know any decklists, but I guess it's because Fires of Invention allows you to cast the cards without paying the black mana, so splashing is simply easy.
