Epic Concentration 4BBB
Sorcery (r)
Gain control of all Historic permanents. Historic creatures you control gain haste until end of turn. (Artifacts, legendaries and Sagas are historic.)
- "-and so, the great Belzenlok led the Nine Titans to victory against the Phyrexians-"
"The Phyrexians which he also led, sir?"
"Of course, accolyte. Manipulating all sides of a conflict is a rare skill."
Apparently the term Epic Concentration shows up in mythological research, and describes when stories and rituals which originally starred or referenced different figures or groups become part of the same canon. Examples include the various pagan rituals of Europe which survive in modern Christianity.
This card could (and maybe should) be Grixis, but for story reasons it probably needs to be mono black. It's not like Black doesn't get control spells occasionally.

"Occasionally" vastly overestimates how often black gets to take control of opposing permanents through means other than graveyard plundering. There's a couple of vampires that do it, a couple of demons, an aura from color pie-bending Planar Chaos, and a number of multicolored cards that actually do get these kinds of effects often, i.e. blue and red. The fact you're specifically making the card interact with two card types that black normally doesn't interact with further erodes your argument that it deserves to be in that color. This is a blue card, mechanically speaking. You could dredge black's color pie for all it has, and you still couldn't justify a mono black card that takes artifacts and enchantments.
