Puncture Bolt

Instant

Puncture Bolt deals 1 damage to target creature. Put a -1/-1 counter on that creature.

I love this commander. One of my friends plays it and it's brutal.

Blur of Blades is a decent way to get counters on a creature.

Cartouche of Ambition is excellent with your Commander. Lifelink is great.

Mark of Mutiny lets you steal a beefed creature for a turn and give it back to them completely useless.

Puncture Bolt is a straight-up kill spell in the early game and a pacifism with your commander.

Unexpected Fangs is another one of those cards that you can use either on your creatures or your opponents'.

You could be running much better creatures in your deck. Make sure you have as many infect creatures as possible (I think you are missing a couple). I would cut Banehound, Boggart Brute, Footlight Fiend, Frontline Devastator, Gluttonous Slug, Goblin Champion, Gravedigger, Infectious Horror, Pestilent Kathari, Putrid Goblin, Scorch Spitter, Skittering Heartstopper and Vraska's Butcher to make room for more value-oriented creatures and typical Pauper fatties to finish the game.

As I was looking through your deck list, a few cards came to mind: Puncture Bolt, Puncture Blast, and Soul-Scar Mage. Hope these are useful!

Some thoughts -

  1. Pharika's Chosen is ok, but in theme Oona's Gatewarden or Fume Spitter have more utility.

  2. Kaervek the Merciless, is just too slow for modern, you would be better with Stigma Lasher

  3. Lightning Reaver, is ok, but it needs more setup than Demigod of Revenge, not necessarily for more gain.

  4. Roast, sorcery speed removal isn't great and it doesn't help your game plan without Everlasting Torment, instead Puncture Bolt, Crumbling Ashes or Fate Transfer.

Otherwise I like the deck, it just needs to be a little more focussed.
