I've been working on this deck for a while for my local FNM group. So far I've got: // Land 4 x Drowned Catacomb  4 x Inkmoth Nexus  5 x Swamp (1) &type=card) 5 x Island (1) &type=card) 4 x Darkslick Shores  // Creatures 4 x Phyrexian Crusader  4 x Blighted Agent  2 x Plague Stinger  // Spells 4 x Mental Misstep  4 x Mana Leak  4 x Virulent Wound  2 x Doom Blade  2 x Negate  4 x Duress  3 x Mutagenic Growth  3 x Tezzeret's Gambit  2 x Sword of Feast and Famine  // Sideboard SB: 1 x Mutagenic Growth SB: 3 x Nihil Spellbomb  SB: 2 x Phyrexian Vatmother  SB: 1 x Dissipate  SB: 2 x Corrupted Conscience  SB: 2 x Black Sun's Zenith  I'm looking for some advice on polishing off the sideboard without it costing a fortune. I thought about putting some Contaigon Clasps in. Any advice would be appreciated.

A solitary copy of Tormod's Crypt  , Elixir of Immortality  , and if you can get a hold of him, Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas  spring to mind for sideboard options. These being to help against mill, Undying, and Zombie archtypes. As a maindeck suggestion, i'd consider Corpse Cur  and Plague Myr  and Core Prowler  . Though you've a strong counter base, your creature count is immensely low for a deck reliant on winning through the application of damage to an opponent. Look to Dismember  too if you need cheap, quick, and instant answers to Melira, Sylvok Outcast  .

Well I don't play too much UB infect but in UG it's ideal to have 3 playsets if you include inkmoth as creatures, then just cards keeping them safe.
That said Apostle's Blessing  is a must-have

Quite true, Tierdrop. I should probably add to the above that I personally prefer 16+ creatures, or altermatives. The Nexus is a creature in effect, by all means, but it doesn't stay a creature, and transforming it to block is a bad move, as it loses you, in most scenarios, a  you could sorely not do with losing.

Well look at it this way. You're low on monsters. You can rely on seeing 2, maybe 3 per game. You need those creatures to do 10 damage to the PLAYER. That's hard to do. It's even harder when your creatures are dead. Proliferating and drawing will do you no good if your creatures die in the process. Protecting your creatures is a high priority. So yes, I'd swap them in a heart beat.
On the other hand, if you had 4 playsets of creatures and then inkmoth.. that'd be totally okay not having the blessing. You'd want more output. With black you have the liberty of choosing creature heavy or not.

The deck looks fine but the sideboard kinda confuses me. When exactly would you use Phyrexian Vatmother, Tezzeret and Corrupted Conscience. Like what would have to happen game 1 for you to sideboard those in?

Hand of the Praetors  over corpse cur for reasons i believe obvious since you don't need much mana Ichorclaw myr  seems better than the other myr. OR maybe even Septic rats  I can't believe I'm about to say this.. but I think the SoFaF is underwhelming in this deck. You're not going to do anything devestating with a second main phase mana spring. I think, now stay with me here, that maybe Lashwrithe  or even Mortarpod  would be better. While the protection is great, and +2+2 is awesome, i think that lashwrithe will be more reliable for offense. You will almost always have 2 swamps, but maybe not so that's a leap. But, mortapod on the other hand, is a nice way to launch a final push. Let's say you're playing tokens. They've got an army that you're not getting past. Mortapod everything for the win? It's a stretch but I think it will win more games than the sword. On second though, looking at your land base maybe lashwrithe isn't even close to good enough.
