Here we get a few good recursion spells to go with reds discard, Currently were missing things worth recurring but we'll be getting to that in the future. We also have a a lot of what black is known for (kill and draw) with nice cards that help take advantage of that. We see black more as the secondary color than red was with black being set in place for being more of a support color.

As the list is all over the place in consideration for where it should be I'm just going to list all cards and where they should be. I've included Liliana, the Last Hope since LotV recently saw a reprint and this one is still creeping up in price. The black rares are a huge disconnect from the commons and uncommons but black is a very diverse color in magic and as such needs reprints all around, including sometimes in ways that might hurt the drafting experience slightly. This color will most likely be reworked before the design process is over and we will most likely have a few cards replaced.
