Fantastic Dimir poison deck! It's obvious you took on board our suggestions and you've pumped out a good result.
Personally, I would swap the {Negate} for another {Cancel}. I might even swap a {Contagion Clasp} or {Contagion Engine} or an equipment to beef up my {Blighted Agent}, like {Batterskull} or {Argentum Armor}. How about some removal like {Go for the Throat} or {Dismember}?
Or you could just put these in a sideboard. 😁

I was thinking about some mutagenic growths even though they require phyrexian mana for some beef.  I put all five counter spells in there to see which is gonna work best.  Thank you for the feed back.

I think I disagree with Spikepit about the {Cancel}s.  If your deck can handle creatures well, then the cheaper {Negate}, or {Mana Leak} would be better.  IMHO

So u think that the creature count is good or too low?

I've never used it, but is {Black Sun's Zenith} really all that useful here, given the size of your creatures?  I could see doing it for 1 and proliferating, but {Blighted Agent} is a pet card of mine, and it seems like you'd want more {Hand of the Praetors} to help your little guys survive.

Also, {Cancel} probably shouldn't be in here, as others have said. {Fuel for the Cause}  does two things at once and would be better late game, and  cancel is two expensive early on.  You might want to take a look at {Corrupted Resolve}, if you cand get blighted agent running fast.
