Ominous Cemetery enters the battlefield untapped and produces black mana without conditions — the cost is just its land type, which matters far less than the raw consistency it provides. In The Tenth Doctor // Rose Tyler builds and other Doctor Who Commander shells that want reliable black sources, Ominous Cemetery does exactly what you need it to do.

The Tenth Doctor // Rose Tyler
The Tenth Doctor // Rose Tyler runs a high density of historic permanents and needs black mana on curve to function, and Ominous Cemetery delivers that without the enters-tapped tax that slows the engine down.
Davros, Dalek Creator
Davros, Dalek Creator demands black mana early and often to start generating Dalek tokens, and Ominous Cemetery is one of the cleanest ways to hit that first black pip without stumbling.

Ominous Cemetery is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but its home is Commander by a wide margin. In Legacy and Vintage, the competition from dual lands, fetch lands, and other premium black sources is so deep that Ominous Cemetery never makes the cut. In Commander, the calculus shifts — the 100-card singleton constraint means you take every clean, untapped black source you can find, and Ominous Cemetery qualifies. Oathbreaker benefits from the same logic, particularly in two-color or mono-black shells that want curve consistency.
