More thoughts:
Also Bojuka Bogs for graveyard hate, Barren Moors for long game where you don't need gas.
You're in black and not playing Duress...?
I'd play Unearths instead of Gravepurge
In this kind of voltron-ish build Gaze of Pain could be good...??
The curve is really high. Take out Essence Drain - it's way to much mana for too little of an effect. Same for Liliana's Shade and Bloodhunter Bat
Typhoid Rats in the sideboard for creature based matchups
Vault Skirge ??

Thanks for the comments and feedback. I'm definitely going to take some of these ideas and run with them. I did realize that I needed to spend 
for each damage I dealt with pestilence, but I do see your point and I'm going to try going COP: Black-less/add one more clock. I could add some more Essence Drains or Drain Life, reduce the number of 1 cards to increase my odds, and add some Dark Rituals.
I want to have no attacking creatures. I may try to replace the Drudge Skeletons with more Darksteel Myrs.
I built this for multiplayer, but anything I can do to speed it up and allow it to be more 1v1 effective would be great. I've actually had the Triskaidekaphobia/Touch of the Eternal combo in play a few times and it is very annoying for opponents :-).

Scoured Barrens over Orzhov Guildgate (Unless it's there for flavor reasons. Esper Panorama, Evolving Wilds, or Terramorphic Expanse are great fetch cards
If you need some life gain to stick around try Tendrils of Corruption, Essence Drain, or Last Kiss (Misfits reference)
