This deck of yours is ok but not that good. If you are wanting to run infect I would run this deck that I built. Check it out.

Personally I would invest in Phyrexian Crusader over the Myr creatures (both). The prospect of bring the Gargantuan in as a 7/7 infect, first strike, pro. white/red is astonishing imo.

Also, regardless of "what" lands you play, "how many" is a key to breakaways. I understand that your curve is at 1-2, but the fact is 19 lands in a 60 card deck means you have a much larger chance of being "mana screwed" during your games.

I also prefer virulent wound in my sideboard as a way to give poison counters to opponents who play aggro decks.

Finally, I try to run some proliferate in my infect decks to speed the process a little (*cough*cough*Thrumming Bird)

I'm not a huge fan of negate either. On second thought, it's better than the alternatives currently in standard format.

That's all that I can say I would do differently, but my style of play may be vastly different from your. Either way, good luck...and I'll be expecting a cookie lol!

Thrummingbird is actually terrible in infect decks, I've tested it and TOO MANY times I was stuck with a Thrummingbird (or two) on the field with no poison counters on the opponent.

I haven't seen the deck yet but I will in a sec.
