Some thoughts:

• the deck really needs the playset of Hedron Crab to help get the engine going - there’s a reason thus archtype is most-often called “crabvine”.

• you need the full playset of Stinkweed Imp.

• Rotting Rats, Grisly Salvage, Life from the Loam and Raven's Crime are all fairly bad here in that they’re relatively slow/clumsy for the deck (and a lot of them don’t proc the Vengevine reanimation triggers). Good replacements for those cards include the full playset of Satyr Wayfinder, as well as Merfolk Secretkeeper, Otherworldly Gaze, and maybe The Ancient One

The Ancient One looks interesting to play.
