I'm not super familiar with black outside of your run-of-the-mill "goodstuff" spells, and I'm just wondering if there are other black spells along the lines of Hatred that give a creature a huge p/t boost.
Vow of Malice is okay since it can grant your general or someone else's general evasion to take down a common enemy, and is otherwise a better Pacifism.
Traitor's Clutch is useful, especially because of the flashback.
Endless Scream is really dangerous under the right circumstances.
Nameless Inversion can double as removal and has the Changeling thing going for it.
Phyresis and Glistening Oil, while not pump in the traditional sense, allow a creature to kill an opponent with far less damage than is normally required.

I suppose Endless Scream ranks below Howl from Beyond due to its sorcery-speed-only application, but it might be the third best big pump spell black has behind HfB and Hatred.

Yeah, I'm always on the fence about including this/Grafted Exoskeleton, even when they would clearly be good.
Good call. Had forgotten about this one.

Symbol turns Vampire Nighthawk into a threat. Doubly-so if you have Ring of Xanthrid on it.
