Have you considered ichor rats and also core prowlers? If you're dealing with budget, these are good options.
The version I've been working on I run core prowlers, Corpse Cur, throne of geth, and then the critters you have.
Geth's thrown is basically a proliferate for 2 at the worst... best case is when you drop say core prowler it's a instant two counters out there, if you need that poison and the blockers out being able to feed your own artifacts going is priceless, which gets you around turbo fog etc. With your inkmoth well that's also now a auto proliferate with a thrown of geth out as well... Just some food for thought

i actually considered ichor rats but didn't know what to take out for them and i think the most expensive things to get would be the lashwrithe, blight dragon and the inkmoths for me. the rest should be quite cheap or i already have them.

one of the things I think would be kind of interesting to see, is just a straight up ramp to blightsteel colossus  and inquisitor's flail  ... double strike 11/11 infect! Use control and viridian emissaries and rampant growth to ramp to the 11 mana asap =p

MBI wins because it's just so freaking fast and reliable. The spectre eats their hand, Lash means you're swinging for lethal with just about anything, you've got lots of threats coming and manalands if they remove stuff, and Skittles has haste when you need it... and the manabase doesn't cause mulligans.
Going off color for ramp, etc, as awesome as it would be, just means losing consistancy and the ability to end the game fast.
Niche, the crowned king of mono-black took MBI to a tournament not that long ago. I'd search that thread up.
Luckily, we have stop-having-fun guys to remind us that having anything more than 60 cards in your deck is tantamount to being a rapist and anyone considering it should be strung up by their ****  .

was playing against a turbo fog that did it pretty well. Those Emissarys are pretty amazing rampant growth that generally gets delt with because it's 2/1 swinging every damn turn right off the bat. it's not too hard to see 9 mana by turn 5 but it's definatly not a easy cast. you'd only have two of in the deck probably.
oh and four solemn orichalums.

Something you may consider is another virulent wound, and just increasing tribute to hunger count (lastly for love of pete use card commands, god I hate having to look at external sites for this crap!)

Yeah I could just up the count of those cards. Was just seeing if there was anything else.

one thing I've been toying with is dropping a couple of the green phyrexian mana costed pump spells in here to boost the poison count very quickly even at the exepense of life.
