{Ratchet bomb} might be able to serve as your boardwipe, or at the least, token boardwipe. Mono black lost a ton of firepower when {mutilate} rotated .

I want {mutilate} back damn it! But yeah I totally forgot about {racket bomb}!

Teysa karlov

Any other ideas! I'm new to control?

You may consider running {agent of the fates} and a few heroic enablers to gain more control of the board.

You should main board 2x underworld connections and 3-4 grey merchant of asphodel

I like this idea but I will not have a very high devotion to black!

I agree not worth it! It takes to long! And if say I don't draw an  {Agent of the Fates} the enablers are a waste. And visa versa

Teysa karlov

I could I do have 4 {godless shrines} & 4 {temples of silence}, 3  {Merciless Eviction},
And most of the black/white cards in standrd

You need something to deal with RDW. {{Damnation}} is going to be reprinted, but until then you might want to splash white for {{Merciless Eviction}}.

... Has it been spoiled? O.O

Even though it's unlikely, it's a horrible nice idea! Hehe
