A black card is defined as any card that has {B} in its mana cost. Black is oriented on obtaining power - ultimate power at any cost. In the game of Magic, this means that black cards sometimes uses resources that other colors don't dare touch. Sacrificing permanents and paying life is certainly do-able for the right effect. A simple card such as Greed exemplifies black's determination to get any advantage.
Up until and including Mercadian Masques black had acces to temporary mana boosts, primarily in the form of Dark Ritual. This mechanic has since moved to the color Red.
Black is the color that focuses on high risk/high reward, which is exemplified in cards such as Grinning Demon, Phyrexian Negator and Dark Confidant.
Black is the only color that causes a player to discard as an effect, not a cost. (Certain other colors use discard as cost, but that is different.) Notable discard cards are Hymn to Tourach, Wrench Mind, Persecute and Cabal Therapy.
