You have your early shadow creatues with removal.
The around turn 6, you should be able to drop the fatties.

Any suggestions?

looks pretty slow for agro.

I'd suggest taking one of two paths:
1. Lower the mana curve and make it a much quicker agro deck.
2. Take out some of the smaller creatures and put in more control elements.

If you wana play it as a faster aggro deck id cut probably all the creatures except nether trator, dauthi slayer, and maybe a couple copies of plague sliver. id probably also add more copies or Bad Moon and some more smaller black creatures like Plagued Rusalka, Stromgald Crusader, and Rakdos Guildmage. You should also cut most of your spells in either: a) add some discard spells or b)add red for burn.

If you wana play more of a control deck, id cut probably all the creatures expect Stronghold Overseer or maybe Plague Sliver. Id also cut the badmoon since you wont be running enough creatures to utilize it.

After that you should devote the rest of the deck to killing your opponents deck, id suggest splashing for white then and adding WoGs, Condemns, mortifys, and Flagstones(to work with smallpox). Also by adding white you have access to a lot more solid finishers like Angel of Dispare, Adarkar Valkyrie, and debtors knell(i guess you could have already used this since its guild mana). You will also gain access to a lot of good utility cards for SB with white like disenchant, castigate, faith fetters and sacred ground

This is my version of TSP Block Mono Black. It's a lot faster that yours and it's been doing pretty good.

Update.

Most of the fatties were taken out. I saw the nether liege of the pit synergy but i just didn't like it.

Do you have an irrational fear of the number 4 or something?
