Sorcery (2)
2x Mutilate

Enchantment (4)
4x Eternal Thirst

Land (23)
23x Swamp

Any chance you'd be interested in splashing another color (red or green) to take advantage of fire whip or pounce type cards? that would effectively turn all your creatures into assassins!

Other things I think the deck might want:
disruption (discard) - you have nothing against non creature threats right now that i could see at a quick glance. splashing red or green will help answer threats from enchantments or artifacts as well.
Mana ramps (dark rits, mana rocks).

Note sure if it fits budget, but a way to get additional cards as well to keep up with tempo decks. Or even a board wipe or something of that nature. Pyroclasm, nev's disk, mutilate etc. I am just taking a quick look but it seems like this deck has a very high manacurve, thus necessitating the mana ramps above.

Viridian Longbow keeps it mono-black.

Some other removal options that are really good:

Dismember
Chainer's Edict
(flashback is really good)
Victim of Night
Diabolic Edict
Royal Assassin
Cabal Pit


And here are some incredible cards worth looking into for mono-black casual:

Consume Spirit
Cabal Coffers
(added points for Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth because it counts the Coffers too)
Tendrils of Corruption
Mutilate
Read the Bones
Sign in Blood
Profane Command
Midnight Banshee
DARK RITUAL
Jet Medallion


Good luck and have fun!

Mer-Ek Nightblade might have some potential if you wanted to have fun with +1/+1 counters (may require a green splash for best effect, but then you have lure to play with as well)

Posting about Lure just totally gave me flashbacks of that with The Wretched. Nostalgia!

Modular artifact creatures could keep you from going into another color too.
