I'm pretty new to magic, so don't be too hard on my decisions, but i believe a B/R infect deck might be pretty viable(maybe not in my hands though). Please help me build something out of what i made myself. Lands 9x Swamp  9x Mountain  4x Dragonskull Summit  Spells 4x Pyroclasm  2x Pyromancer Ascension  4x Grim Affliction  4x Tezzeret's Gambit  4x Virulent Wound  3x Virulent Swipe  4x Dismember  Artifacts 2x Tumble Magnet  2x Livewire Lash  Creatures 4x Phyrexian Crusader  2x Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon  2x Plague Stinger  Planeswalkers 1x Chandra, the Firebrand

There have been a number of other decks like this posted, reading arround would likely help you some. Specificly for your list I don't think you have enough creatures, expecially fast ones, and tezzeret's gambit and dismember are the only two spells you have that I would want to play though not in those numbers. If you're playing red poison I can't think of any reason not to include Assault strobe  and Teetering peaks  , and there are much better options available than Grim Affliction and Virulent wound/swipe. I like B/R poison (even though U/G seems to be doing the best atm) and think that with a bit of work you will be able to make something that works for you.

Would this help? -4 Mountain +4 Teetering Peaks  -1 Tezzeret's Gambit -1 Dismember +2 Plague Stinger -2 Virulent Wound -1 Virulent Swipe +3 Assault Strobe  And do you have any suggestions for fast creatures? And i have no clue what to replace Grim Affliction with... Thanks for your critisism, i really need someone to point me to my mistakes.

Maybe Razor Swine  would do as a fast creature... In that case in addition to the previous changes I would say: -2 Grim Affliction +2 Razor Swine Any thoughts on that?

That is one of the directions i could go with the deck... I would probably drop 2 Lightning bolts for 2 Dismembers, since especially with Pyromancer Ascencion it can destroy any creature.
And do you think that deck would be competative in a FNM enviroment? Once again, I'm pretty new to magic, and i only post my thoughts here.

The thing that bothers me the most in the decklist you posted is the absence of a lot of removal... Pyroclasm Can be a very good removal card, in combination with Pyromancer Ascension and Phyrexian Crusader . The thing i liked about the previous decklist i had, was that it could pop a kill out of nowhere, or do you think that's too inconsistant to work in a competative enviroment? I once again would love to hear what others have to say about this.

assault strobe wont help you much. skithiryx will come down for a kill. so you wont have enough mana for both haste and assault strobe. phyrexian crusader cant be buffed by assault strobe. and plague stinger will need a lot of buffs on it to have assault strobe do some serious damage.
and due to the nature of red and black. his toughness will remain at 1. even the useless shock will be enough to bring your stinger down

You have a good point there... Maybe vampire's bite would work better instead... Or do you have another suggestion? If so, I would love to hear, consider and discuss it.

unless you wanna keep it legal for after october i would recoment virulent swipe. it gives +2/+0 and deathtouch. and also has rebound. therefore making your phyrexian crusader an evil killing machine twice. since it has rebound and deathtouch.
its also a good instant that will make your plague stinger kill a mighty creature of your opponents army.
