Lake of the Dead

If Lake of the Dead would enter the battlefield, sacrifice a Swamp instead. If you do, put Lake of the Dead onto the battlefield. If you don't, put it into its owner's graveyard.

Swamps Matter

Thank you for the upvote indieinside. I actually tried Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth but found most often it was just a swamp so just swapped it out for a basic swamp since I’m not running too many utility lands. I’m kinda priced out of Lake of the Dead and Phyrexian Tower. I can’t believe I’d missed Jet Medallion so thanks for helping me catch that!!!

Swamps Matter

Obviously these totally come down to budget, but here are a few.
Because you are playing Cabal Coffers you should totally be playing Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.
Phyrexian Tower – Mana Ramp
Lake of the Dead – Mana Ramp
Since you are playing Animate Dead you should also consider Dance of the Dead and Necromancy. They do the same thing. Gives you more consistency.
Other ramp:

Varragoth Mono Black Creatueless Combo Win
3 months ago
I have Goblin Cannon also with infinite mana for another win condition. The commander ban list doesn't include The One Ring that I know of. I normally build a lot of stax pieces but decided for faster win conditions with the commander. I was considering Lake of the Dead and probably Exsanguinate. Buried Ruin won't help much because most of my artifacts are just mana rocks to ramp out the commander faster. The idea is to get Doomsday quickly and just win off that if possible. I don't think Yawgmoth's Will fits here. I'm just trying to combo super fast. If I need a lot from my graveyard, I've probably lost already. I decided to avoid Imp's Mischief also because I'm just going for speed without much defense. The amount of tutors is vital to get exactly the cards I need to go faster. I want to optimize my ramp and make my win condition as fast as possible without using creatures like K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth

Varragoth Mono Black Creatueless Combo Win

hootsnag +1
I also run a mono black (almost) creatureless deck. May I recommend Spreading Plague for creature control or is it too high CMC? Works with fountain port to kill blue creatures. On that note, No Mercy and The Abyss are great anti-creature cards.
Imp's Mischief - "Counter" counterspells, redirect targeted removal, draw and extra turns!
What combos r u running? I see aethflux + bolas citadel + top. Rings + basalt + top. What else am I missing?
I thought The One Ring Was Banned, or am I mistaken?
Maybe add some light stax like Torpor Orb or even a Cursed Totem depending on the meta (I know it hurts you but worth noting).
You have a really low avg cmc and a large amount of tutors. You could probably remove 1 land if you wanted. Speaking of lands, while i hate Lake of the Dead, it seems like a good fit for what you wanna do.
While not an entirely serious suggestion, Voltaic Key can untap ur large mana rocks like basalt, grim, mana vault and sol ring. Moreover, it combos with everflowing (4 counters) + rings + voltaic = Infinite mana. Speaking of combos, since rings is a good part of it, having some artifact recursion such as Buried Ruin is nice to have. Moreover, while not a serious suggestion, Crucible of Worlds can go well with your sac lands. Bonus points if you add fetches. Fetches can be used with rings for ramp, shuffle your library (in case top says ur top 3 suck), and with crucible for consistent land drops. Might be a bit too slow for the deck but wanted to share it.
Speaking of recursion, Yawgmoth's Will - Super powerful.
At the risk of being too niche, Corpse Dance is fun to ensure no commander tax + built in haste.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thank you KermitWizard! I love the card Darkness and it has definitely surprised the pod when i get to save myself with it! Lake of the Dead seems super cool to run and I may have to add it to my wishlist! Thanks!

Cool deck theme. Darkness, by the way, I always felt has fun spooky vibes. Mono black has a certain charm to it. Lake of the Dead was a classic.
