I like Accursed Witch   as a pauper command because it's nice to generate upside from your commander dying. It's also only viable in a 1v1 format, so it's nice to let it get some play.

For an aggro black strategy, Witchy Woman is fine at 4 power for 4 mana with not-quite evasion. Once Infectious Curse   lands, though, it's a sweet way to recoup loss-of-life penalties like Carnophage while continuing to hurt your opponent.

That said, Shriekmaw is a probably a more powerful commander for any black strategy, so it could be swapped right in.
