Out are cards that help opponents or don't have ideal synergy or add to the major mechanics: Anvil of Bogardan, Horn of Greed, Dictate of Kruphix, Howling Mine, Temporal Mastery, Time Warp, Smoke, Sign in Blood, Mystic Retrieval, Dismal Backwater, Doom Blade, Damnable Pact.
In (reanimation theme and some targets for reanimation): Exhume (not 100% on this one), Soul Exchange (idealy would want one that could target all graveyards), Dance of the Dead, Animate Dead, Liliana of the Veil, Necromancy, Sire Of Insanity (bomb that minimizes opponent's ability to profit from the wheel), Mangara's Tome (I love this as a way to stack all of my reanimation cards, or anything else that I want to protect from my own wheel effects. Curious to see how it plays. The sceptor is included for the same reason), Sepulchral Primordial, Diluvian Primordial, and Molten Primordial.
Need to get an Academy Ruins.

Burning Inquiry Nekusars Ancestral Recall!
Perplex this has been surprisingly strong in my build.
Helm of the Ghastlord possibly the best aura for Nekusar?
Breathstealer's Crypt cruel and unusual.
Anvil of Bogardan this should be in the main.
Ummm if you are rocking Timetwister you can figure out a way to fit Echo of Eons and Time Spiral into this!

I've interested in this deck quite a bit, that I actually started to build my own as well. I haven't play-tested my deck yet, but it's clear that premodern creatures and abilities are very mana intensive, as you mentioned.
For ramp I'm looking at 13 ramp spells (so far)
Birds of Paradise, Burgeoning, Carpet of Flowers, Earthcraft, Exploration, Fertile Ground, Fyndhorn Elves, Harrow, Mox Diamond, Nature's Lore, Rampant Growth, Sol Ring, Wild Growth (+ Ancient Tomb)
I was also thinking of adding Stax effects (to slow opponents down while we try to ramp up) such as: Hall of Gemstone, Powerleech (originally was a Null Rod against Treasure tokens), Root Maze, Sphere of Resistance, Tangle Wire
With these inclusions, I started to realize that I have a lot of enchantments, where the enchantress cards came into play, but my question to you is how good is Noxious Field, Mutilate, Thrashing Wumpus, Pestilence type of effects? It seems to limit the type of ramp we can add.
Moreso, what are your thoughts on Anvil of Bogardan and Howling Mine? Does it help your opponents too much?

I use Stormfist Crusader over the pirate cheap on mana yes they get a card but I always fine it better when it is on my turn as much as possible it is cheaper cmc wise don't have to attack and turns on Kederekt Parasite
Look at Faerie Mastermind to give yourself extra cards for low cmc and it dropped in price
I find Anvil of Bogardan works better since they still have to discard and I get them coming and going on damage
of course the Orcish Bowmasters is good
also if you want some fun Sigil of Sleep
I am debating on how evil I want to be I just acquired a Chains of Mephistopheles who need friends when you can set up chains + Teferi's Puzzle Box nightmare and laugh to no friends

So the idea of the deck is the tax and stax them. Given you already run thorn and sphere, are Vryn Wingmare and Glowrider required for redundancy? I understand the plan, but these only shine in early game and are horrendous late game. Would love to know how it's played for you, given only 14% of your deck are creatures. Moreover, Anvil of Bogardan + chains = Awesome. But doesn't anvil feed into opposing GY synergies? I that you can dump enchantment for replenish (or heloid) but providing each opponent will card selection and potential synergy seems to be a pit much for my tastes. Also, given all of your anti creature hate, Authority of the Consuls could be cut as the redundancy is not needed IMO.
A bit unconventional, but have you considered resource denial rather than taxing? Works kind of the opposite of above by having weak early game but good late game. Adding Crucible of Worlds back in ..... Crucible + Death Cloud = Fun times. You have a decent amount of artifact ramp to make this viable. Not to mention if you added Karn, the Great Creator, you could shut down opposing artifacts as well. Karn also goes well with contamination. Should you wish for further resource denail, Infernal Darkness is contamination's cousin. It allows you to get all the mana from coffers, doesn't require a creature (no bitterblossom needed), and can buy you a turn or 2 as you search for your wincons. smothering tithe needs to find it's way from your maybeboard to your deck, especially with puzzle box
I do like the scroll rack + land tax synergy, thats strong.

Congrats DemonDragonJ! I too am happy to have played MtG for over 20 years. An older friend introduced me to it as a kid during the Visions block, but I really got sucked in during the Urza block. I found the lore from the brothers’ war fascinating.
shadow63, some of the first cards I pulled from packs were Anvil of Bogardan, Necromancy, and Vampiric Tutor and I still use them in my commander decks. I also pulled a couple Grim Monoliths and traded for the rest of the playset. Never imagined they would go up to $200-$400 each lol.

Anvil of Bogardan - Good on it's own + synergy with chains
Oversold Cemetery - Recursion
There are other cards I recommend but I am unsure of your budget, wincon, meta, etc... if you could provide me with more info, I could help make better suggestions.
Combos okay?

Hey Profet93! Good questions.
IMHO, I would not run either Anvil of Bogardan or Chains of Mephistopheles in a NDBMBD unless the deck has some reanimator combo lines and the self-discard is beneficial to the objective. Unless the discarding synergies with some other abilities, you are helping your opponents more than you are helping yourself, as you are allowing them to draw deeper into their deck to find their own combo pieces.
In my Tinybones deck, I discard cards so rapidly that opponents cannot play their hands fast enough, limiting their ability to plan for future turns, then I exile their graveyards to prevent utilization of their graveyard as a resource. In this way, my Tinybones, Trinket Thief deck breaks parity by handicapping opponents while I draw additional cards via Tinybones. My deck is designed to work around the exiling of my own graveyard, and as long as I can generate enough mana to activate Tinybones’ ability, I can win without cards in hand.
Other Monoblack decks are combo-based and break parity through life-loss and sacrifice effects. I run K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth and it breaks parity by having K’rrik on the board as fast as possible to require minimal mana and maximize combo speed. K’rrik is probably the most OP commanders around, period. Another popular commander is Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, who can also be utilized to assemble rapid sacrifice-based combos.
Monoblack decks have to either focus on combos and outrace other decks (especially multicolor blue/green decks with access to the best draw and ramp spells in the game), or hold faster decks back via stax while also benefiting from the stax effects somehow and gaining an advantage.
