Yo my old account! This deck sucks. Just swap the Plundering Barbarians for two Skullport Merchants and 2 Hoarding Ogres. Then get rid of the dragons and big elementals for an extra orcus and either Froghemoths or Inferno of the Star Mounts if your budget allows. Then get rid of the artifacts in the deck as well as the two Improvised Weaponry for some Check for Traps and Power Word Kills / artifact removal.

I've got an arena deck kinda like this hoping to mimic 8-Rack in modern using Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. The cards I run that really shine for me are Infernal Grasp and Power Word Kill for targeted creature removal. Sheoldred's Edict and Liliana's Triumph are also pretty neat especially if you run Liliana of the Veil.... all in all i love it! +1

Flame Slash is a good cheap removal.

Infernal Grasp only fast decks can afford to pay life. Consider another removal, such as Power Word Kill.

Maskwood Nexus is horribly slow card. You don't have any good reason to play it.

Brutal Hordechief this card is best in a token deck, which is not your case.

Remember that you are an aggro deck. As such, you want to lower your mana curve. You don't want to give up on card advantage, but you are willing to ignore life gain and pay some life instead.

• Bone Splinters. March of Wretched Sorrow These are card disadvantage. Try Dismember and Fatal Push. Notice that it mentions "permanent left the battlefield". This works well with your ninjutsu.
• Soul Transfer. You have no chance to control both an artifact and enchantment. If you want to destroy planeswalkers, go with Hero's Downfall.
• Assimilate Essence and Scatter Ray. Playing counterspells that hit just creatures is bad if you are playing black. Either play an universal counterspell such as Mana Leak, or play direct removal which can hit creatures that are already on the battlefield.
• Battle-Rage Blessing and Return to Action. Search for a 1 mana alternative with an unside, such as Feign Death, Undying Evil or Slip Out the Back
• Collective Nightmare, Anoint with Affliction and You Are Already Dead. These are garbage. Play any of the good 2 mana black instant removals, such as Cast Down, Doom Blade, Go for the Throat, Infernal Grasp, Ultimate Price, Power Word Kill, Heartless Act
• Ertai's Scorn, Extinguish the Light, Debt to the Kami. These are somewhat a little too expensive. You are an aggro deck, so play more tempo oriented cards. Try something from Remand, Memory Lapse, Undermine, Clawing Torment.

If you're building to counter a Dragon deck, and you want to keep a deathtouch focus, I recommend adding either more removal like Doom Blade or deathtouch-y fliers like Vampire Nighthawk or Battlefly Swarm. As it stands now, you don't have a lot of interaction--Duress and Victim of Night are good starts, but you don't have many ways to deal with an attacking 4/4 or bigger flying creature, and Power Word Kill does nothing to Dragons.

As another addition, Hooded Blightfang turns your deathtouch creatures into life drain. Since you're not beholden to a format right now, Dark Ritual gives you a shot of mana to get to your more important cards faster.
