Dark build

[Dictator.Dong]

I want to try to make a dark build but am not sure how to consistently generate dark mana. Any ideas?

glitch some cards so they become abyss and look for cards such as "fear" or "offering", when you draw fear, you get 1 dark mana, as for offering it allows you to exert a card for mana

"Burden" is another good mana fodder, and you get it Free in higher Acs.
Evil can turn ALL your mana in to Black.
Any card that can Generate random mana, like dice cards, is another good option. Buff in particular is a good choice, as it adds TO the pool, instead of just randomizing it.

Scalpel artifact lets you play those malady cards for mana, makes hand management much easier.

My very first run in the full game I ended up with Leech (+1 black mana once per turn for depleting a health bar), Scalpel (removes [Malady] from the run), and Disconnected Hand (discover 1 black card per turn), I also hit some event that let me sacrifice d4 cards for d8 special black cards (and this card doesn't seem to be in the compendium now that I look?) that transformed into another black card permanently after being played which I got a couple of Rituals and other useful cards from. Unless there are more relics or cards for other classes that work better with black than Sage I think that's about as full of a dark build as you can run.

Super fun run too, talk about beginner luck! Coloring one mana black per turn + 6 black cards actually in the deck + Rituals to actually use the Temporary cards when they were useful ones + black mana from combat.

i found druid very easy for this.. it has an evil card which is an element. i did make some glitch cards from already distorted ones so it was cheaper, also i was lucky i got the event which gives abyss for health.. i made like 20 of them.. also i found it helpful not to use all of the abyss cuz its useful to just use some to exchange it for mana.. also i made that purple card that gives black cards and fear distorted free with purification
i killed 3rd floor elits and final boss without taking any dmg
