{Gravecrawler}, {Tragic Slip}, {Knight of Infamy} ect. I'd suggest instead of making posts to fish for deck ideas, that you look into other people's decks and see what they're playing.

{Mutilate}, {sign in blood}, {ultimate price}. {Ultimate price} may lose relevance after Dragon's Maze, as we'll have a larger pool of gold/hybrid cards.

Sorry dudecore, i just have trouble looking into decks as i usually only find 1-2 relevant ones when i search and the rest are totally random and unrelated. It could be how im searching for them though.

If you find a card you like, scroll all the way to the bottom. Click the "Commentary and Criticism" button, I'll search the forum for people talking about it. Helpful tool to build around.

You guys are forgeting about the blackest card in standard  {Liliana of the Dark Realms}!!!
Liliana and  {Vampire Nighthawk} can be a major beating

I wouldn't exactly call {Liliana of the Dark Realms} a staple though.

 {Tragic Slip} has pulled my arse out of the fire so many times. A one mana answer to {Falkenrath Aristocrat} as well as the power to take down most any indestructible creature when triggered with its morbid effect. Can you tell I love this card?

{Vampire Nighthawk}. And again, {Vampire Nighthawk}

{Undying Evil}. It protects yo creatures from pretty much everything in Esper Control.

You want black staples, lets go with:

{Duress}
{Thoughtseize}
{Hymn to Tourach}
{Terror} or  {Go for the Throat}
{Cabal Therapy}

Just to name a few.
