The name sounds kind of weird on a creature...

How about cutting the cost to 2BB, and making it sac a creature to make another black? That way, it would jump from guy to guy.

This is pretty cool, but the best wording is simply "You control all black creatures."

Isn't this too strong?  I mean, look at what it takes for Memnarch to get something.  Sure, he can get anything, but to just tap and steal a creature is pretty strong.

I agree with Jebus.  I believe that the original would be waaaay too strong.  I changed the power level so that it would still be good as long as you have some support for it.

FYI, because of the way continuous effects work, the current wording would be unaffected by Sleight of Mind.
(Control effects apply before text changing effects).

When ~ comes into play, you gain control of all black creatures as long as they're black.
Whenever a black creature comes into play, you gain control of it as long as it's black.
Whenever a creature becomes black, you gain control of it as long as it's black.

Don't see a nicer way to do it, I'm afraid.

what about if I did this.

Reaching Darkness
{3}{B}{B}
Creature - Ghost
{B}{B}:  Gain control of target black creature.  This effect does not end until Reaching Darkness leaves play.

Umm...I fail to see how the current wording does not interact intuitively with Sleight of Mind.

Yeah, the current wording looked fine to me.
