I don't normally build decks In this color so ill just give you general deck building advice

1. Pick a theme or a couple of win conditions

2. Find cards that can help advance you too those win conditions.

3. Find support cards

There are exceptions to this though. Like if you want to go the aggro route. Just find lots of stuff (generally 3 CMC or under) that pushes power level for there cost. Generally 1 CMC is usually a 1/1. 2 CMC is a 2/2 or 2/1 (more often the latter. the former is most often green) and so on.

Ask yourself, what do I want this deck to do? What are its goals and how will it achive them? I might know more than that, though that's all I can think of right now

Birdbrain

After taking a look at what you have. Id say you have two options. Vampires, or a graveyard deck. I'm not sure how to work your vampires, as the misspellings were gruling work to look for them...But for graveyard, throw in lots of stuff that has to do with te graveyard and things that sacrifice creatures

{alters reap} and {bone splinters} are some excellent cards, And possibly dabble in a little reanimator as well. If you have any more questions, there are a lot of players that have actually played black, so ask anyone who has made a black deck

Edit: as an after thought. Something neat you can do is sacrifice an undying creature to make it more powerful sense that will trigger the undying ability
