I think this is true but i waned to make sure.

I tap one to give   Ogre Menial  +1/+0. He then gets blocked by a 2/2 creature, can I tap one more after the opponent has declared a blocker to cause the blocker to die?

Yes, but be aware that this is done DURING the Declare Blockers Step, not between steps. Players can do nothing between steps. In fact, as far as the game rules are concerned, "between game steps" doesn't exist.
Ever feel like people on these forums can't possibly understand how wrong they are? Feeling trolled? Don't get mad. Report Post.

Also note that you dont "tap ", since is one red mana. You could tap a Mountain , or a Birds of Paradise , to get the red mana, but you dont actually tap the mana (you put it in your mana pool and either spend it or lose it at the end of the step or phase).

That makes no sense to me.

If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?

Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch . YAY COLOR IDENTITY

I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.
