Necrogen Communion
Enchantment — Aura
Enchant creature you control
Enchanted creature has toxic 2. (Players dealt combat damage by this creature also get two poison counters.)
When enchanted creature dies, return that card to the battlefield under your control. (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. Tokens cease to exist when they enter the graveyard.)

Heyo, +1 just for seeing another Arena player on this site!
Depending on the quality of your dual lands, you might want to look at splashing some red here. I messed around with kind of a similar rat/poison build, but I was relying more on Karumonix to do his Toxic thing with Song of Totentanz for faster wins. I feel like this would be a stronger bomb to drop than the Twisted Sewer-Witch, since extra power/toughness on rats from the Auras doesn't help with Poison win conditions.
There's not a lot of good proliferate options for black or red that don't detract from the deck theme, so getting rats in fast was important for me. A red splash would also let you run some Library advantage like Light Up the Stage to more value out of turns where you're only swinging for 1 or 2 damage.
You could also explore adding in Necrogen Communion to toss on some of your non-Toxic rats, or for protecting Karumonix from destruction. Toxic effects stack, so even putting it on an already-Toxic rat isn't a waste.
Finally, if you play best of 3's, I would definitely put Call of the Death-Dweller on your sideboard at very least, to help against boardwipes. You've got the CMC on your rats to potentially fish out 2 of them using it, but it can also scavenge out Karumonix if he happens to die.
In any case, feel free to add me on Arena if you ever want to run test games or even just discuss deck tech. Info is on my profile, either way good luck!

indieinside, without play testing my immediate thoughts are, not enough ramp/draw...
I'd take out a few creatures, 37 is a lot for some more utility.
In the maybe board specifically...
Adaptive Automaton is good but again you have a lot of creature
Bloodline Pretender only buffs himself not worth imo
Crypt Rats - again if you can give this infect its a great wincon
The other rats are all ok and on theme but if anything can replace a relentless rat...
Lightning Greaves is a great call but i see you have already added it.
Necrogen Communion seems strong and worth an include
Death Denied seems to inefficient. your paying to return them to hand then still have to recast...just use Yawgmoth's Will
My valuation could easily be off since this is 1v1 focused and I am used to building with multiplayer in mind, but that's my thoughts.
