Nest of Scarabs
Enchantment
Whenever you put one or more -1/-1 counters on a creature, create that many 1/1 black Insect creature tokens.

Wither? Hardly know her!

Some thoughts:
-
your current list is only at 54 cards, you’ll need to get to 60.
-
20 lands feels too low for what you’re doing here, i’d suggest 22-23.
-
Be aware that Blowfly Infestation and Nest of Scarabs can all-too-easily nonbo together to create an infinite combo you’re unable to stop, forcing the game to end in a draw. It’s very risky playing both of these cards.
-
i would really suggest adding green into this deck. It’s already hard-enough to build anything remotely viable centering around -1/-1 counters, without further restricting yourself for no real reason.

pea_body All of your suggested changes sound great! Sounds like you have a pretty good idea of the changes to make :)
As far as the higher mana cards go, I think aiming to run 3x Skinrender and 3x Kulrath Knight (with no Archfiend of Ifnir) is probably a good mix. With your beforementioned killspells added, and around 24 lands, I think you'll be able to easily sustain 6 4-mana cards relatively well.
Black Sun's Zenith is a fine replacement for any of your cards, particularly a good replacement for Archfiend of Ifnir. It becomes an auto-win condition alongside Nest of Scarabs (just through the sheer number of scarabs you can generate from it).

zapyourtumor yeahh... I guess theoretically it could be ok if The Ozolith + Nest of Scarabs is out, but then it's still not great. any suggestions?

I own a deck similar to this except it was with The Scorpion God but the deck plays exactly the same as this one. Control the board with -1/-1 counters. I run Blowfly Infestation + Nest of Scarabs to go infinite on draw or kill with Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat. So my version tends to run more of a combo deck style. I can win with infect but its not the focus so it doesnt happen often.

Negative Counters - Modern

Thoughts on updating? I'm working on a list now using The Ozolith and Everlasting Torment.
I don't know if I should go heavy with dmgremoval and Soul-Scar Mage or combo out.
I'm also thinking Utopia Sprawl for ramp but Bloodbraid Elf would be interesting.
Black Sun's Zenith and Nest of Scarabs seems insane but I'm also interested in that new The Meathook Massacre
