Mono Black Deck Advice

Here is a black deck I have been working on for quite some time. It plays very well and very quickly if I draw the right cards but I would be grateful to know if there is anything I could do to make it better.

Black Sun's Zenith is very good when you play Dusk Urchins and Phyrexian Arena is better then Sign in Blood.
You also need some midgame punch for when the game drags on.

some options:

Sheoldred, Whispering One
Debtor's Knell
Kokusho, the Evening Star
Recurring nightmare
Geth, Lord of the Vault (with cabal coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth)
Yawgmoth's Bargain

I usually pack a Loxodon Warhammer as well, something to gain a bit of life.

Thank you. I will definitely check those cards out. The only thing that worries me about adding creatures is that I'm trying to stick to the theme of the deck, being shadow or fear, pretty much being unblockable or harder to block. Because the deck runs fast I think you are right about phrexian arena, it might work better. I wonder if nether traitor would be good in my deck. 1/1 haste shadow, landfall.
