As a disclamer, this is not a tested deck. I am unable to test anyhting for multiple reasons, and I'd still like to run ideas through the community.
The idea actually came from reading the mono-black control thread, and I suggesting adding green. After a while of pondering in my head, The rough idea came to me like this:
4 bazaar 4 polluted delta 4 bayou 3-4 wasteland 1-2 rifstone portal 1-2 urborg 1 strip mine
2 on-color mox 3-4 mox diamond 1 black lotus
4 dark confidant 4 goyf 4 ohran viper 0-4 cold-eye selkie
4 unearth 2 life from the loam 1 demonic tutor 1 vampiric tutor
4 duress 2-3 thoughtseize 2-3 ravens crime 1 extirpate
it is basically bg aggro-loam plus reanimation. As far as card advantage goes, the selkie, the viper, and confidant all draw cards, and the bazaar is excellent hand filtering. with loam, bazaar also becomes a very cool draw engine.
To go along with both bazaar and loam, unearth lets you bring goyf, confidant, viper, and selkie into play. The viper comes with his own form of creature control, and selkie has evasion. The unearth also allows you to throw away creatures to blocking or walk them into a trade and recure them. The biggest thing it does, though, is allow you to play any of your creatures in your grave for b. It also cycles.
As far as disruption goes, duress is an obvious auto-include. I like thoughtseize, but i do not think that 4 should go in. cabal therapy has nice synergy with the unearths, too. Raven's crime, though, is like a recurable card-disadvantage engine all by its lonesome, especially so with loam. I am thinking of heading down the raven's crime route, which seems like it will really put the hurt on control.
Since there are so many colorless lands, mox diamond seemed like the perfect fit. extra bazaar? Portal? and later on, the land will come back anyway because of the loam.
This is as far as i took it. Does the deck look viable? not necessarily first-tier, but playable.

this may be the last time you hear the boogie song.
