Volrath: No School, like Old School
11 months ago
Dooope. I'm a huge fan of deck building with restrictions. You are running some classic creatures.
Devouring Strossus is Lord of the Pit #2.
Dust Bowl? I only suggest it because I tend to run it when 50% of more of my mana base is basic.
Phyrexian Tower pays for a Volrath activation.
Skull of Ramos pays for a Volrath activation.
crucible of world not old school enough? Useful alongside that amazing Null Brooch.
hydrothermia on Pattern Recognition #134 - Mercadian …

I may be one of the few that actually remember playing Mercadian Masque in the Type 2 (Standard for you whippersnappers.) format. My favorite card of the set, outside of
Counterspell
was
Tidal Kraken
. It was only a 6/6 unblockable for eight mana, which is way overpriced by today's current Standards. A little surprised you didn't mention
Conspiracy
the card. It was the first of it's kind with the most recent "reprint" being
Arcane Adaptation
. Or my favorite/annoying combo consisting of
Cho-Manno, Revolutionary
and
Pariah
.
There were five artifacts, one land and a handful of white rebels that created lore of a creature that would eventually end up being printed for Commander 2017, Ramos, Dragon Engine . The first iterations of the artifact dragon came from Henge of Ramos , Eye of Ramos , Heart of Ramos , Horn of Ramos , Skull of Ramos and Tooth of Ramos .

Some more mana rocks can help get your general out a turn earlier. Commander's Sphere , Worn Powerstone , Fellwar Stone , Myriad Landscape , Darksteel Ingot , Bontu's Monument , Sol Ring , Mana Geode , Seer's Lantern , Orazca Relic , Magnifying Glass , and Skull of Ramos are decent options. Also you might like Wall of Blood . My friend plays it in his Gisa and it is explosive. Pay 20 life into it, sac it for zombies, and watch heads roll! Coat of Arms is great too if your budget allows.

Sidisi, lands kinda matter?
4 years ago
A lot of good suggestions! Thank you!
Charcoal Diamond is already in my list, and I decided to shy away from Jet Medallion due to pricing reasons... but maybe not :D
Coldsteel Heart is a good one, definitely gonna add it, but Skull of Ramos has the same problem as Worn Powerstone : coming out turn 3 and generating 2 mana doesn't make it faster than generating 1 mana, since sidisi --> ad naus --> combo all take 1 turn each regardless :D
Rain of Filth actually does make the combo faster, since I can combo the turn I play ad naus then (main phase of course). Great suggestion ^^
I do actually own Chrome Mox , but considering I run 80 lands or so I wasn't sure if it was worth including or not... I guess I'll see what my final land count is before deciding
The problem with Cabal Stronghold is that I need 5 other basics to generate positive mana, and at that point I should already be comboing off or dying to counterspells
Terrain Generator is great, 0 damage from ad naus is amazing ^^
Imp's Mischief is also noted
There's a lot of great suggestions, now I just need to figure out my pain limit for ad naus... ^^

Charcoal Diamond and Jet Medallion are two that I can think of off the top of my head for black.
Coldsteel Heart Kinda acts like a second diamond. Skull of Ramos cheap rock to purchase and can get you 2 black mana in a pinch.
Dark Ritual and Cabal Ritual are sort of ramp.
Very risky, but Rain of Filth in case you absolutely need extra mana.
I doubt your looking into them since they are pricy but Chrome Mox and Mox Opal are zero drop

If you need help with knowing how much/what ramp to use, you might want to check out https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/brewer-s-minute-ramp-math
I am not an expert in mono, but for you I recommend adding:
Mana Crypt pricey but spicey
Charcoal Diamond goes so well with Sol Ring
Everflowing Chalice and Astral Cornucopia - especially if you somehow get more proliferate
Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar are good if you want double-down on sacrificing your own creatures.
Plague Myr infect
Burnished Hart nice
Myriad Landscape can go in almost any edh deck
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is solid in any one- or two-colour deck
Lake of the Dead has a downside, but you won't care when you're using it (trust me)
Deserted Temple , Vesuva , Candelabra of Tawnos and Thespian's Stage to double-down on Cabal Coffers.
Petrified Field to protect valuable lands.
Expedition Map and/or Wayfarer's Bauble to tutor itfor all your powerful lands.
I'm not sure how I feel about Temple of the False God , but it is an EDH classic.
Other mono ramp
I ended up finding so many mono ramp cards I thought I might as well make a more full list.
Solemn Simulacrum is a good catch-all
Magus of the Coffers is slow, but might be worth it. Crypt Ghast is a better version.
Pawn of Ulamog and Sifter of Skulls are good in any deck that sacrifices often
Nirkana Revenant is good in the right deck
Bog Witch is kind of weird, but has fringe uses
I haven't thought hard, but you might be able to do some flicker shenanigans with Priest of Gix
Priest of Yawgmoth and Soldevi Adnate work if you hate your own stuff
Leaden Myr , Hedron Crawler , Manakin , Scuttlemutt , Alloy Myr , Opaline Unicorn , Palladium Myr are usually worse than rocks, but maybe you want?
Worst case, an edh deck can always load up on rocks. These are some of the best ones for mono black
Sol Ring every edh deck should include this
Star Compass , Fellwar Stone , Fractured Powerstone , Mind Stone all fill similar voids
Thran Dynamo , Ur-Golem's Eye , Worn Powerstone , Gilded Lotus , Hedron Archive , Sisay's Ring
Pillar of Origins for tribal decks
Consider Pentad Prism , Kyren Toy , or Coalition Relic for proliferate
In most games, these do the same thing: Commander's Sphere , Cryptolith Fragment Flip, Cultivator's Caravan , Darksteel Ingot , Hierophant's Chalice , Honor-Worn Shaku , Mana Prism , Manalith , Orazca Relic , Phyrexian Totem , Powerstone Shard , Pristine Talisman , Seer's Lantern , Serum Powder , Skull of Ramos , Sol Grail , Spectral Searchlight , Vessel of Endless Rest , Victory Chimes , and Chromatic Lantern
Thought Vessel if you fill your hand
Chrome Mox is usually worth the card disadvantage
Lotus Bloom , Mana Vault , Basalt Monolith , Grim Monolith , and Lotus Petal for explosive potential
Mox Amber if you usually have your commander/a legendary thing out
Mox Diamond if lands in your graveyard is a good thing
Mox Opal if you have 2+ extra artifacts
Black Market is good if you tend to sacrifice/kill a lot of creatures
Caged Sun , Doubling Cube , and Gauntlet of Power are fair if you want to reach that high mana
Liliana of the Dark Realms is nice with proliferate, and makes sure you don't miss land drops in the mid/late-game
Sword of the Animist is best with one-mana creatures, and if you attack often, but might be justified even if not
Jet Medallion and Heartless Summoning do a lot of work if you play many cards in a turn
Carnival of Souls is fun with some creature-based combos
Bubbling Muck for explosive/combo turns
Dark Ritual for getting a turn 2 Crypt Ghast , etc.
Sacrifice and Culling the Weak for sacrificing. They go nicely with Songs of the Damned
Spoils of Evil for lategame combos
Rain of Filth must be used with caution
Crypt of Agadeem works, but only if you consistently have 4+ creatures in the graveyard
Phyrexian Tower eats your creatures
Cabal Coffers is a staple
It's porbably unnessecary, but if you end up with few basic swamps, consider Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to supplement your Cabal Coffers .
Cabal Stronghold is great if you can't afford many nonbasics, and might be good enough besides.
