I was wondering everyone's opinion on the possibility of mono black being a thing in standard. M14 seemed to help the cause a little bit.

Possible. I've been thinking about it too. Won't be like the old days but maybe viable.

Until {heartless summoning} rotates, I'll have my mono black deck up and running

That seems to be the question with each new set hahah. I certainly think it's possible, especially when the M10 lands rotate out. WotC has already said with the loss of those lands, they're hoping to make three color decks less consistent and harder to pull off. It'll just take someone giving it a try and actually doing it before we know if it'll work or not.

For sure my mono black deck is
15 swamps
35  {Shadowborn Apostle}
4  {Griselbrand}
2  {Rise of the Dark Realms}
4 crypt ghasts

Lol just an idea I made up literally in 5 mins

That's why I sideboard {Detention Sphere}!

I got third (possibly second due to some mix up with scoring) tonight rocking a limited (sealed) mono black deck.
Not sure how solid those cards would be in constructed but  {Liliana's Reaver} rocking  {Mark of the Vampire} was awesome.

That would be a sick combo
