Notes:
My first attempt at a mono black deck

Aladormax

Looking for some advice as to how to fix this as it seems to me like it will need some help

Replace all 4 murders with {victim of night}. It's an amazing kill spell, there are so few good cards that it can't hit. Also I suggest losing a swamp or 2, 24 is too many for a mono colored deck. And have you thought about liliana of the dark realms? I feel like she would be better then the veil in this deck

2 murders, 2 victim of the night ..4 griselbrand..turn 5 grisel is devastating .. If play 3 veil and 1 dark realms

I say no murder at all. The only creatures you really need murder for are Huntmasters and Olivia, so it belongs in the sideboard. Why pay 3 mana when you can pay 2??? But I agree, grisle is a must, but in that case you want atleast 2 dark realms lilanas in case you don't get crypt ghast

I like  {Ultimate Price} but in mono black control victim of night and/or  {Tragic Slip} is better.

Wsuryanjeska

This is true, you should atleast 3 tragic slips as well

Byerley121

Instead of  {Typhoid Rats} look into  {Underworld Connections}. It's synchronization with extort is amazing.

 {Mutilate} destroys every creature in standard right now

WHY are you still running murder?

Iandtormentor

What if he disegrees?  You gave your opinion but he does not have to take it...

I'm sorry, I just assumed that someone making a mono black deck for the first time ever would be open to the suggestions of winning players in the magic community, especially since he posted the deck on here. But then I realized that so many people on here don't even acknowledge good advice, so It's really just a waste of time to offer it in the in the first place. And with that, I'm done here.
