Deck discussion for Oh the Horror!

Think I'll remove the grave return for some sacrifice from my opponent devour flesh and some others come to mind plus bad moon could work to negate the -1 counters

Usually I would say to get rid of 1-ofs in a deck but since it's random cards, that's okay. I'd say to drop the Bump in the Nights, though. It can only target players and you don't even have red for the flashback. I'd say throw in one of those omni-present doom-blades.

I have a play set of doom blades could put them in in place, bump is a cheap way for black to swing to the face though I'll play test both

Switched it up a bit and won't have to buy that many cards . Removed the 1 offs, the graveyard returning cause it's not nessasary. Thinking I need to find room for bad moon to. Negate the -1 from carniflex thoughts?

Vampire Hexmage gets rid of the counters from the demon without any drawback to you, and can also be used to remove counters from opponents creatures. Ring of Xathrid can give it +1/+1 counters each upkeep to negate the -1/-1's as well.

Instead of devour flesh there's a card called consuming vapors which basically does the same thing except it has rebound to it, and is a sorcery it does cost more but you get to cast it twice with only paying its mana cost once.

With devour flesh, the opponent gains life. With consuming vapors, they sacrifice two creatures and YOU gain life.

I would focus a bit less on discard and put some more creatures in this. See, once your opponent's hand is empty, any further discard card will be useless. And since you are killing and discarding opponent's creatures en masse, these additional creatures could be provided by animation spells.
Suggestions:

* Beacon of Unrest is the ultimate animation spell for this deck, it can grab your own or opponent's creatures as well as artifacts (Contagion Engine for example). It's 5 mana, though, so won't be available early game.

* Good old Animate Dead.

* Puppeteer Clique is also amazing.

* Skinrender could be useful in this to get more -1/-1 counters going.

* Kulrath Knight!!! He is the first creature I would add.

* Increase the creature count without reducing the discarders by replacing Psychic Miasma with Ravenous Rats #3 and 4.

* Horrifying Revelation would be the first discarder to cut.

* IF you are not going to add cards that can animate creatures from opponent's graveyard, THEN you should consider an option to exile the opponent's graveyard. Since you are playing black, the choice is easy: Bojuka Bog (replaces a Swamp).

* Abyssal Nocturnus might be a worthwhile addition to this deck. Not only because of the getting-bigger-when-discarding thing. Look at the creature type ... it's a Horror! A deck named "Oh the Horror!" should have at least one Horror in it :)

* 4 Doom Blades AND 4 Geth's Verdict is a little bit excessive in a deck that also runs discard and various cards that put -1/-1 counters on creatures. If you need more room for my suggestions but don't want to cut any more discarder, you could go down on Doom Blades (I would keep Geth's Verdict be cause it can kill anything that survives your other spells and abilities like creatures with protection from black, hexproof and so on).

Solid suggestion thank you! I have skinrenders they will make a good addition and can also reload the carnifex demon as well! Psychic miasma will leave for more rats, still getting the discard and have a body to work with. I think 2 b- bogs should be enough? Let me switch some around and let me know what you think.
