In that case mono black is hard I make it a control but you could go for  {Phyrexian Obliterator} and  {Dark Confidant} but besides that I cant really think of control cards. Maybe something like  {Shadow of Doubt} to stop fetches and it replaces itself

Look at 8 rack decks. It's the best mono black control in modern

Follow that mold. I'm not the best at control decks tht don't include  {Maze's End}

Look at cards like {damnation},  {Mutilate}, {Black Sun's Zenith},

Maybe try a {Liturgy of Blood} for ramp

It's to expensive in my opinion for modern.

Whats the card that was just in standard that gives -1/-1 to all creatures equal to the number of swamps you control? Thatd be rather useful, and also MUCH CHEAPER than damnation :)

{Mutilate}?
Also I recommend getting rid of {Grave Betrayal} because its really bad in modern

{Dash Hopes} is a very interesting card in Monoblack.

Edit: Also, Many mono black builds run 4x {Mutavault} and 2-3x {Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth}.
