Quietus Spike
Artifact — Equipment
Equipped creature has deathtouch.
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, that player loses half their life, rounded up.
Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

There are a few creatures that cause an opponent to lose half their life if the creature deals combat damage to them, like Unstoppable Slasher. Equipment like Quietus Spike and Scytheclaw can also give that effect. I'm not sure if this crosses your "no combo" rule, but teaming those cards up with Bloodletter of Aclazotz or Wound Reflection leads to one-hit knockouts. I personally don't see that as being much different than somehow being able to pump an infect creature up to 10+ power.
There are a bunch of creatures that let you draw a card when they deal combat damage to a player, so that's worth considering. There are also a bunch of specter creatures that force an opponent to discard if they deal combat damage. Dazzling Sphinx might be worth considering too.
Creatures with the Myriad ability could be something to look at as well since Kamiz can make the original one unblockable. Maybe just including Blade of Selves and Ironwill Forger to give creatures Myriad would be enough.

Recommended cards that aren't black but feel like they should/could be:
The One Ring: This is black card draw.
Skrelv, Defector Mite: Mostly the phyrexian mana and artwork. Highly useful for the one shot kill.
Suspicious Bookcase: Some of the artwork on this card comes straight from Halloween.
Defiler of Faith: Life as a resource.
Shadowspear: Lore-wise it's a corrupted weapon from the underworld.
Basilisk Collar: Both keywords are common in black.
Blackblade Reforged: Literally a demon's sword.
Nettlecyst: Black token and phyrexian.
Tarrian's Soulcleaver: Graveyard synergy.
Bloodforged Battle-Axe: Mostly artwork/name/flavor.
Grafted Exoskeleton: Black themed downside. Infect in black's wheelhouse.
Bloodthirsty Blade: Blood as a cost.
Blade of the Bloodchief: Death as a benefit.
Quietus Spike: Multiple black creatures have this effect.
Hope that helps.

I have replaced Quietus Spike and Sanguine Bond with Enduring Tenacity and Unstoppable Slasher, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.95 to 3.93, because I feel that the newer cards are generally superior to the older cards.

It is a triggered ability of the equipment. Quietus Spike doesn't say "equipped creature gains..." so it is the equipment causing the life loss.

Profet93 thoughts on this build? The idea is to cast everything for low mana value, tutoring my draw items, as well as things like Cabal Coffers combo, or Quietus Spike. I originally had the deck black and white with all 25 creatures having shadow. But, I like the draw power of this commander. If you have any better suggestions, even for the commander, let me know. I really want this to be a solid build before a pay for it.

There are a few things in the deck such as Alpha Authority, Trailblazer's Boots, and Silent Arbiter that reduce the amount of blockers against Wilson, Refined Grizzly to ensure combat damage goes through. I can see how Nemesis Mask + Deathtouch = Boardwipes, but I want to do more playtesting with the little-to-no-blocker cards first before I add Nemesis Mask.
When I read Quietus Spike to my GF, she said that it was nuts lol. I'll find a spot for it right now.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Nemesis Mask maybe? Completely terrifying with Basilisk Collar
Quietus Spike is great with Trample and its another Deathtouch. Its just stupid with Double Strike
