without combos it's at most useful when playing against other specific black decks with the common restricted destruction effects, and even then it's only useful if yours isn't already mono-black anyways.
there are some good and semi-useful combos, though:
-the best one of them is likely done with Teysa, Orzhov Scion, to create a saccing-loop. given that you control at least three creatures, you can remove any of your opponents creatures from the game.
-with Darkest Hour, any creature with protection from black (or cards like Raven's Run Dragoon) will be unblockable and have some sort of "creature-shroud".
other useful effects:
-Razorjaw Oni: to disable blocking
-Stronghold Taskmaster or Urborg Shambler to shrink every creature's p/t by 1.
-Light of Day: to create mass Pacifism.
-Reclamation/autocar... (see all)

One of the cards that I really hate, back from a dark time of Magic. It does absolutely nothing on its own just like the Laces. The next natural thing that came me (and many others) was cards like Terror, but the only thing this does was preventing your opponent from Terroring your non-black creatures, and you even have to splash black for this - just about as narrow as a card gets.
One of the worst rares I'd name from its era.

Ok, I got a question, does a card like this and SINISTER STRENTH make a creature black in ADDITION to it's own color(s) or just strait black? Any site/spot that backs up the ruling? I need to know for the purposes of cards like Shield Of The Oversoul..

Does this card effect cards outside the battlefield?
My buddy thinks it does.

Great trick with your creatures with protection from black. If you are playing w/b try Righteous War

Hey, everybody: I dare people to read Mode's comment. I retypted it here.
