Really cool deck man I think I'm gonna make it for myself! :D

I agree with Skinny on the dismember, they're not necessary in a mono black deck. It fits in a 2 or 3 colored deck in case you can't get a swamp for a GFTT or DB, but mono black doesn't have that problem.
Definitely am a fan of distortion strike and deprive in this deck, those are going in. As for halimar depths, with 4 Preordain and all of the drawing going on with Neurok/Surrakar I don't think it's worth it considering Halimar Depths comes into play tapped and slows the deck down. I appreciate the help!
Shimmer Myr - It evades Phyrexians by hiding in the spaces between seconds.
It's not final, but I'm trying Spikeshot elder because of his potential to do a whole lot of damage. Equip him with an activated adventuring gear and he can burn AND attack for 3-5 damage in the same turn. Not to mention he's a goblin and gets the bonus from Goblin Chieftan as well as Warren Instigator's ability.
Yeah I like first strike on Goblin Gavaleer a lot...a good offense is the best defense when it comes to this card. I was also thinking about trying Thunder Strike for even more damage and protection from blockers, I'll have to play the deck more to see what fits. And don't forget the double strike from Assault Strobe counts as first strike damage too
Definitely agree either sword would be good in this deck, but most likely sideboard material. The deck is based on pumping up Goblin Gavaleer as quick as possible, meaning the 3 to lay, 2 to equip swords are a little slow compared to the 1 to lay, 1 to equip Adventuring Gear and Explorer's Scope combination
I feel like you have too many sources of proliferate and not enough sources of actual infect counters. You're completely relying on inkmoths, corrupted conscience, and virulent wound for poison counters, and virulent wound's -1/-1 send many creatures to the graveyard. Proliferate is worthless without poison counters!

Ornithopter wouldn't be as good here I don't think. If Ornithopter is out there when Thopter Assembly is played you don't get the five 1/1's...and more artifacts makes Tezzeret's -4 ability more powerful
I see what you're saying but the only two creatures I really NEED to fetch are both green.
I agree i think scute mobs would work well here
