If Griffon Canyon is your win-con, for the love of all that is holy, run more than two of it. Same with Image Crafter. Good luck with this, it's a decent idea.

You should still probably put those spellbombs in the sideboard though, they don't really serve a purpose maindeck.
Ok, then use wrath effects, then play your creatures, or edicts. Or burn. Slivers are a deck where every creatures is a weakness, not a strength. Also, Slivers don't work if you never let them put creatures on the board; Counterspell them and you're all set. If you can survive the early game, then there is absolutely no reason you should lose to Slivers with a good control deck.
It's funny when people think Slivers are good. Four step plan to beating Slivers: Step 1: Declare attackers. Step 2: When they block, Doom Blade a creature, powering down their other creatures. Step 3: Combat kills more Slivers than opponent expected, powering down the rest of the Slivers, killing them as well. Step 4: ??? Profit
I don't like Evil Presence as much as Contaminated Ground, since it nearly shuts the land down in addition to turning it into the swamp, and there's nothing else that I want to cut for that spot.
I'm always a fan of Ichor Rats for a good creature that gives poison counters when it comes into play. Honestly, I'd take a look at the green and black cards with the "Infect" ability, then remake the deck. Infect is a lot better than Poisonous, if you find the right cards. The only problem with Infect is that it really boosts the mana cost of your creatures. You have to be careful with that ability. If you don't want to do that, I'd go with Instants and Sorceries rather than creatures, apart from Ichor Rats of course. I'd recommend Pistus Strike if you want flying removal, or Virulent Wound for regular removal. Blightwidow's also nice, since it can really suck the life out of your opponent's creatures. It would make a good replacement for Giant Spider, if you still want the Reach.
I'd replace stuff like Thicket Basilisk and Giant Spider with creatures that put poison counters on opponents when they come into play. Poison counters on contact are nice, but it's more reliable to have some definite sources of counters. I'd look at the Scars of Mirrodin block for some nice cards, even if you don't want to use Infect. Nice deck otherwise!
Have you considered using Brainbite? It's a more targeted way of taking out the opponent's hand than Duress, and you get a draw out of it. Also, since you have so much drawing in there, you might want to consider adding Underworld Dreams. Good idea for a deck!
I'd use Sejiri Refuge instead of Boreal Shelf. It's the exact same card, but you gain life when you play it. I'd also consider using Test of Endurance or adding more Felidar Sovereigns. That seems to be your best win condition outside Stormtide Leviathan. A good deck, apart from that.
Could someone take a look at my monoblack? I'm not sure if I did it right... http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=271915
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=248741 Innistrad Human deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=269222 Morbid theme Any comments or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks, O-Ring really is a better card for that spot...
Plague Rats can be very helpful here. Also, depending on what you want to do with this deck, I'd consider adding Neurok Invisimancer and something like Grafted Exoskeleton or Phyresis. Great combo, and the Invisimancer's great on it's own. Personally not a fan of Spread the Sickness, it's too slow and it's not an instant. I'd consider some other proliferate spells, Steady Progress is a really nice one.
My friend posted this deck a while ago, I'd take a look at it for ideas http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=218174 I'd also consider Scavenger Drake and Anowon, the Ruin Sage
Get a Life isn't exactly a legal card...
Galvanic Blast is probably not the best card for that spot, since you only have four artifacts in the deck. There are more reliable burns you could use, or Unsummons for your Snapcaster
Really nice idea for a deck, and thank you for not being That Guy Who Forgets That "Targeting" Includes "Equipping." You might want to try some equipment other than just the Whispersilk Cloak and the Swiftfoot Boots, something that actually makes your creatures stronger. The equipment doesn't even have to be the proper colors, since it'll be practically useless if you draw it anyway.
Oh god... this deck only costs $27... and it's freaking awesome... that's a bit frightening. Congratulations on a good, if inefficient, deck!
Good point, didn't see that in the description.
Blinkmoth Nexus would probably work better than Inkmoth here. It's a bad idea to mix Infect and regular combat damage, its inconsistent. You end up with the opponent at 2 life with 9 poison counters when they kill you with direct damage.
