Firstly, kudos on picking such a great tribe. Secondly, how do I autocard on this forum?
I'd ditch all the equipment except for one or maybe two cloak and daggers. Get some removal in there - disfigure and dismember are both good here.
Beware of overextending into boardwipes; include targeted discard to pluck that wrath of god from their hand. Duress is both cheap and good, thoughtseize is usually better but costs the earth.
Finally, find room for more one-drops. Nightshade stinger fits the bill.
Finally finally, get noggin whack in there. Also look at a couple of earwig squad. Hope this helps.

It autocards automatically? Nice.
Meant to say that profane command can do a lot of work here too. What's your budget on this?

Thanks for the input
Definately gives me something to think about.
After your reminder about boardwipes and creature elimination, (on both sides) I will have to re-examine a few of the artifacts and such.

No worries. Inkfathom infiltrator and Auntie's snitch are also worth a look.
There's another angle on this kind of deck: if you've got Oona's prowler out, any creature that you control with a +1/+1 counter on it will trigger discard, eg Rakdos Cackler, Stormblood Berserker. A red splash could be interesting here.

Inkfathom is another one that deserves consieration.  I like Auntie but she really doesn't fit the theme of being unblockable.
I also considered making it a Dimir deck and include invisible stalker and mizzum's skin, but I decided to go solo black

Mono black makes a lot of sense.
Auntie's snitch isn't unblockable, but the recursion often means card disadvantage for them when they block it.

Thanks.
Why Zulaport over Stinkdrinker?

There are 16 total creatures that may not be blocked (4 of each Deathcult Rogue, Nightshade StingerOona's Blackguard, Prickly Boggart) and some more guaranteed that others.  EVERY Creature card can benefit from Zulaport Cutthroat.  Plus IF Cloak and Dagger is equipt then the drinkers ability can't target.
My thinking that if your are going to take out one of my threats than you are going to pay for it and I get a life or 2 for it.  Plus the casting cost.

Great deck, just bought it all for $15 bucks! That's a steal of a deal.  I'm excited to try it out!

I think if I were to upgrade with a card from current standard would be   Rankle, Master of Pranks
