This makes sense: mono black is sure to have plenty of kill spells, and this deck needs as much ramp as it can get to bring out its absurd nine mana commander, especially since he's going to be a lightning rod for removal, Ward cost aside
Rakdos, the Muscle Rakdos, the Muscle is a 6/5 flying, trampling creature for 5 mana, so wheres the downside
Black has no token generators like Saproling Migration to lean on and it is a much more powerful colour in these archetypes with Blood Artist and Cutthroat as well as a lot of the sac outlets
Skipping from one to three mana is a huge deal, and doubly so in a deck like this
This is the kind of card that ends games fast if your opponents arent ready to deal with a sudden, massive, hasty board
