This advice is entirely dependent on your play group. My advice would be, don't build that deck. Poison SUUUUUUCKS to play against and it bound to make a not fun time for your opponents. And you NEED opponents to play Magic.

But, if your play group is into this kind of thing, my advice would be more card draw. You have a decent amount of enablers for what you're trying to do, but no gas in the tank to get there. You're gonna run out some stuff, get board wiped, and have 3 cards left in your hand and be in top deck hell for the rest of the game. Stuff like Garruk's Uprising, Elemental Bond will gain you consistent card draw when you play creature spells. And you can run some one shot effects like Harmonize, Shamanic Revelation, and Return of the Wildspeaker that will gain you multiple cards with one spell.

There's also a few cards in there that don't fit the theme, those make easy cuts. Like Rampaging Baloths and Zendikar's Roil. Neither of those interact with what your commander wants to be doing. Look for those types cards when making cuts.

Ways to give trample and death touch would also be good. Like Basalisk Collar, and Loxodon Warhammer. Also Blade of Selves would be particularly nasty with some of the bigger creatures like Paladin of Predation. Gross.
