I've seen some Zur decks run Bitterblossom + Contamination , don't know if that's something this deck is interested in doing.

For the Bitterblossom + Contamination combo, remove Infernal Darkness and Call the Bloodline.

Kala's suggested cut list I totally agree with. All those spots can be used to make sure you are getting in at your opponents' life points with Erebos.

Another good card for an indestructible commander is Quietus Spike. Makes them block and kills their creature regardless of toughness (barring indestructible and protection from black).

If your main focus is to get in on commander damage, you are going to want to add unblockable effects.

Rogue's Passage, Trailblazer's Boots, Whispersilk Cloak and the like. Also since erebos is indestructible, a good way to make him bigger while swinging (and not unblockable) is Eternal Thirst.

Also look into Bitterblossom + Contamination to lock out your opponents mana.

I'm at work so I'll try to post again on what I think you could swap out.

If it interests you at all I have a mono black deck with Ashling, the Extinguisher as commander that works similarly that you could peek at.

If you happen to be the only one running mono black at the table: Bitterblossom + Contamination .

Bitterblossom + Contamination is a really solid lock for anyone not playing black, and the tokens created from Bitterblossom are very useful in general for this sort of deck. Also stuff like Reassembling Skeleton, Nether Traitor, and Bloodghast are good fodder for Smokestack and the like. Overall a nice stax deck +1
