Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero

Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

I know that quite a few people have tried to support mono-black with cards like Corrupt, Tendrils of Corruption, Phyrexian Obliterator and such. I can't name one off the top of my head, but I know that at least that has been done.
I haven't posted much in this subforum but I do have to say that cube is probably one of the best formats I've played. I have fairly limited experience, but allow me to share a few of my favorite moments:
3. I was drafting a cube back at home, still fairly new to the format. I drafted some terrible U concoction that I think started with pick one Force of Will. In one of my matches, things were actually going fairly well until my opponent casts Gifts Given. Not Gifts Ungiven. That ended very poorly for me.
2. My 2-10 record in cube winston draft. I am just really terrible at that.
1. Drafting this monstrosity and winning matches with it:

Yeah, has lots of MUST SWAMPS cards, so that will be easy enough to force. I guess colour-loving anthem effects like Kaysa or Honor of the Pure are someplace to look; are those effective or just end up being meh-picks?
Seems like the hardest part is avoiding off-colour mana enablers like signets, but those seems like auto-includes in most Cubes, if only to speed up games. Does that I mean I have to watch what ramp I put in?
I'm afraid that heavily encouraging mono color strategies leads to linear drafting because once you commit to a color, you risk not getting enough playables if you want to switch gears later in the draft.
We have occasionally a mono colored deck in our drafts despite having good fixing for two color decks. When it comes together, the consistency alone of not having to play two colors is worth it. I have never seen a mono green deck, but that is probably not that surprising considering the good fixing a base green deck has and the lack of removal.
I can see adding a few cards specifically for mono color decks like the new BBB zombie, Honor of the Pure or even Flame Javelin which is not played in many of the smaller lists anymore. My goal would be to give more incentive to play mono colored decks while still allowing the 2-3 color decks and even the occasional 4+ color control deck.
In almost every draft I've run since building my cube, someone has gone mono color despite lots of fixing and multicolored cards being available. Given that, I should assume that a mono colored curve wouldn't be too terrible an idea.
