I love random, obscure tribals. My input would be that both Dictate of Erebos and Grave Pact are better than Butcher of Malakir . If you want more death triggers you can consider Blood Artist , Zulaport Cutthroat , Falkenrath Noble , Vindictive Vampire , ect, ect.
Also, Torgaar, Famine Incarnate seems weak when things like Scytheclaw , Quietus Spike , Virtus the Veiled , and other things that half life totals exist.

I have a take on Relentless/Marrow-Gnawer on my profile, take a look. Maybe it'll give you an idea or two.

Cabal Coffers for ramp
How do you deal with artifacts and enchantments? Oblivion Stone , Nevinyrral's Disk , Ratchet Bomb , Lux Cannon , Blast Zone , Ugin, the Spirit Dragon and Karn Liberated all come to mind.
Imp's Mischief is "counters" counterspells, redirects removal and some extra turn cards. More importantly, no one expects it from black.
I got some ideas for cuts if you're interested, lmk.

I see you want cut ideas based on your comment on my wall. As such....
Butcher of Malakir - Too expensive to be impactful. Would rather have Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos if you still wanted to keep it
Gnat Miser - Weak static effect and doesn't do much other than being a tekashi69 (a rat :P)
Sinuous Vermin - Being or not being a monsterous, it is weak. Not worth a slot.
Swarm of Rats - Potentially big dude with no trample, you already have 1 or 2 of these, redundancy is not needed. I don't even think the others are. They seem win-more.
Typhoid Rats - Is cute, but 1/1 deathtouch with no way to abuse is ripe for cutting.
Bad Moon - Definition of win-more. Anthem helps opponents too, weak static effect. Not worth it at all.
Gravepurge - Eh, there is much better recursion in black if you are so inclined.
Cast Down - Meta dependent, but I would go with Go for the Throat
You could add in some more relentless rats or some of the suggestions I recommended.
Coffers is the primary card you should add if you can, SO much ramp. But I'm biased because I have a deck based on it. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx would help you ramp out alot too!
Reply here instead of on my wall so I can keep track of everything :)

Profet93 Good suggestions, thank you! I'd love to add Cabal Coffers but it is out of my price range sadly. I agree it's amazing but it's just too much.

Mercuteio, Cabal Stronghold is a decent budget option if Cabal Coffers isn't doable.

potentiallygood Good alternate suggestion! I added it to the deck

+1 I saw you liked my comment and took to heart the changes I recommended, I am happy I was able to help. Idk if you are still looking for suggestions but I would cut the entire infect package. You don't have enough to abuse it and it sucks getting them to 9 poison. Moreover, it paints a bigger target on your back. If you had a big creature for Tainted Strike I would say keep tainted but even that is weak here.
where is your artifact and enchantment hate?!
Potential additions....
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - With all your rats, this will be crazy. Maybe even more mana than coffers
Rings of Brighthearth - Copy your commander ability. When you decide to add fetchlands, it can copy those. It synergizes with....
- Your commander (main purpose)
- Ayara
- Liliana
- Piper
- Altar
- Aetherflux
- Thornbite
Another reason I like rings is because when you add Cabal Coffers + Deserted Temple (when you get $), you make infinite black mana
Sensei's Divining Top - Synergizes with rings to draw as much as you have mana. Add in a Basalt Monolith (if you like combos) to do Rings + Basalt + Top = Infinite colorless mana and draw your deck.

I use Mogis's Marauder for a haste option and Thornbite Staff for an infinite amount of rat tokens. Not always the win-con but an option if I need it.
