So i got my girlfriend started on an edh deck and need help on what to keep my eyes out for to improve it. The comander is Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief and therefore the deck is clearly mono black. I need to know what staple cards she needs. She wants the bloodcrank combo, which is actually a pretty scary idea with how much her deck can just search for the missing piece.

Let me see if I can pull some ideas together. What are the components of the bloodcrank combo?
Bloodchief Ascension and Mindcrank.
As it stands she has sime of the basic vampire cards from zendikar, and some great search like Rune-Scarred Demon, Increasing Ambition, and Liliana Vess.

Thanks, Desolatus.
Can't help too much without the cards being linked.
Noob question, how do i link
Quote Desolatus and you'll see. :)
How do you feel about {Liliana of the Veil} in edh?
Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks for the help guys.
She could go with your theme. So I say go for it!
I think her AND the M13 one. You could run plenty of tutors like her {Rune-Scarred Demon} and {Diabolic Tutor} to find stuff like Lilliana and other stuff like her Bloodcrank.
What are the good wrath spells and mana ramp (colorless ramp is fine)
For black? {Black sun Zenith} is decent.

There are plenty of ramp options (part of the reason I said you should get the M13 Lilliana, if you haven't seen her then look her up). You can get the Myr that taps for black- {Leaden Myr} I think. {Sphere of the Suns}, {Sol Ring}, {Caged Sun} if you name black.
EDIT: it was {Leaden Myr}
{Gauntlets of power} work well in edh.
{Necropotence}
{No Mercy}
{Poluted Bonds}
{Hollowborn Bargest}
{Sanguine Bond}
{Exquisite Blood}
That new search X cards card from m13
NEW LILY!!!!!!
New lili only if i dont need her for standard, everflowing chalice when i find mine, and definately cage sun instead of guantlet just cause guantlet might help the opponent.
{damnation}
{cabal coffers}
{phyrexian arena}
{drain life}
Check out the griselbrand deck posted earlier in sub category
Thanks for all the help. Mutilate is for sure going in, so happy to have a 4 cost black sun/ day
{Lake of the Dead}
{Dark Ritual} (duh, but just thought I'd mention it)

Lake is fun. {Crypt of Agadeem} is another good black mana pumping land for late game.
