Nightveil Predator PDH

I have a few ideas.
I see you run some buff enchantments in your "Voltron" section that could probably be replaced with some pretty valuable equipment.
I would look into Slagwurm Armor . This isn't a buff but actually makes for a harder to kill Nightveil Predator . A 3/9 Nightveil is crazy hard to deal with. He blocks and kills pretty much anything. Helps him to stick around so you can hook up your Bow. And, you can fish for it with your Trinket Mage .
I think there are better cards that can go in for Sinister Strength , Dark Favor and Twisted Experiment . Although you may have a reason for running them. I'd also be curious to know why. I think equipment have more utility as they stay on the field and can be moved around from crit to crit.
Also, I would take out the Seat of the Synod and the Vault of Whispers . Just replace them with basics. The lands being artifacts are easier to remove as there are lots of items people play that can target artifacts. I would rather loose a piece of equipment than a land.
I run Ashes to Ashes as well and have been seeing that it sits in my hand for a while due to it being so situational. I am actually considering replacing it with Ob Nixilis's Cruelty . I pretend I have it in my hand rather than the Ashes during games and I essentially could make more use of the Cruelty. Could just be my meta.
Other than that the deck to me seems solid. What are your matchups like? You having any issues against certain decks??

Don't know if it's been said before but probably Sinister Strength over Dark Favor ?

Awesome deck, I really enjoy cheap black aggro!
Augmenting Automaton , Dimir Guildmage , Grimclaw Bats , Order of the Ebon Hand and Null Champion are all cheap creatures that can help you use your mana if it ever gets to the mid or even late game. Guildmage is the most expensive, but would be extremely useful if your opponent forces you into a long drawn out stalemate. Grimclaw Bats can fly over many blockers, but is weak for its cost, Automaton is cheap and has "tomato" in its name but needs 2 Mana and is weak and Order is stronger, but less cheap and also needs 2 Mana. Can get First Strike though. Null Champion is weak and expensive at first, but will be extremely useful once you find the Mana to level him up.
In your Maybe Board, you have Twisted Experiment . Sinister Strength is probably better (unless you want to use Experiment as a possible removal).

I really like the idea of a Mono Black Infect deck in pauper! I have a couple suggestions and comments for you:
Chainer's Edict is superior to Cruel Edict because of the flashback. Diabolic Edict is probably a better choice for this deck since it is an instant. You might consider Mutagenic Growth to help your creatures swing in for that extra point or two of poison damage. You may also consider Bonesplitter or Sinister Strength instead of Skeletal Grimace.
I don't really understand why you have Cemetery Gate . . . isn't the point of your deck to push as much early poison damage as possible? Seems like you would want to have 4 Plague Stinger instead. I don't know how attached you are to your creature base, but I feel like your deck would be well served cutting your 4 and 5 drop creatures and sticking with no higher than 3 drops. This keeps your curve low enough to lower your land count to 18 - 19, which means additional disruption and creatures. Although options are limited, you have access to Flensermite and Ichorclaw Myr.
An unexpected Howl from Beyond might be cool. Is that worth consideration?

Do you know how to make an aggro zombie deck? If you seen my color combinations I have little to no black, but I think aggro Zombies is going to have to be Mono-colored...UH!
I own Three Endless Ranks of the Dead which is why I decided to make this deck. I also own 1 Cemetery Reaper, but I think he off as a side-board card because there is so many other zombies that do the same, but better.
Cards I would like to use:
Helldozer (Maybe)
Or any other black spells like removal, artifacts, pump spells.
I could go on with the number of black spells I know for removal, but I'm sure you know some too.
Thanks!

Hello,
I love your deck. I just bought it on tcg with a few mods.
For creatures I added: 4x Agent of the Fates4x Dauthi Horror
To take advantage of Agent of the Fates I added:4x Sinister Strength4x Twisted Experiment
I removed:4xDoom Blade relying on Agent of the Fates for removal4xGurmag Swiftwing3xBump in the Night1x Swamp4x Vampire Nighthawk I only took him out because I already run him in a ton of other decks
Thanks for the inspiration.
Cheers.
