Awesome combo, CharonSquared! But you might as well be using Cauldron of Souls for that purpose.

@Tiggurix: Or Cauldron Haze, but this is 1 mana cheaper.

Yes, but Cauldron Haze isn't pure black. That's relevant in EDH.

Huh... this is another card that has received a functional change in the process of having its text modernized. There's no printed version of Touch of Darkness that actually properly says what it does! (see also: Oath of Lim-Dûl)
In this case, the errata actually points it out - now you can choose zero creatures. Printed says one or more. I suppose the only benefit to the erratum is that you could cast it while there are no creatures on the battlefield - maybe to up a storm count or something - but I wouldn't think that any deck that would actually choose to use this card would want to play it without it actually impacting the playstate in some way.
I still don't really understand why Wizards does errata like this.
