That's from a quick glance. I didn't see any cards that supported Death Pits or Witch's Mist, and Heartstone doesn't work with Lim-Dul. Hoarder's Greed is simply weaker than Night's Whisper or even Ambition's Cost. Maybe library-manipulation cards like Nightmare Incursion and Bitter Ordeal are bettter in a singleton format, but I doubt it.
Infernal Darkness is pretty good in a mono black deck, especially if your opponents are not playing black. For cuts try:
Witch's Mist
Bitter Ordeal - This is a lot better with Pox & Deathcloud
Curse of the Cabal - This got played in our group for awhile but never did much.
Hoarder's Greed
Death Pits of Wrath
General's Kabuto - Think the other protection equipments are better.
Magus of the Coffers
Altar of Shadows - Seems too expensive for what it does, 14 just to kill a creature.
* Hoarder's Greed
* Curse of the Cabal (I can't see why this would be so bad but opinion seems to be unanimous. Isnt it like a "braids/do or die combo?")
* Altar of Shadows (opinion seems to be unanimous for this as well. I sort of guessed it would be like a Braid of Fire that blows stuff up)
*Whispersilk Cloak (IMO is worse than General's Kabuto)
Not sure about
* Heartstone (Can you please explain how this doesn't work? is it because Lim-Dul's effect is a triggered ability?)
* Minion of Leshrac (Visara that can kill lands! Is the upkeep cost too steep?)
* Incursion / Ordeal (These are in here to stop OMG HAHA I WON THE GAME stuff like Niv-Mizzet + Curiosity or Mindslaver + Academy Ruins. Do you think they would be effective at this?)
*Witch's Mist / Death Pits (Player A attacks player B. Player B blocks. Steal their dude(s). not that good?)
Thanks for the input.

I actually like Nightmare Incursion a lot, can cripple people late game. I think the Heartstone works but it just isn't very good.
lolz....What's the matter? Can't take the heat? It's not like everyone would be gunning for the Braids player at the table right?
Looking back, I think you're right about the Nightmare Incursion / Bitter Ordeal -- drop them. Proactive effects like that can be cool, but Lim-Dul just feels like he should be "black removal.dec" so you can abuse his ability.

EDIT
Witch's Mist = Gone
Hoarder's Greed = Gone
Nightmare Void = Gone
Possibly Want to Add
Cards that other people have suggested I drop:
(Give me a detailed reason why I should cut it and I will)
I cant wait until I get this, it was 115 cards not too long ago....

And I agree with your 'definitely cutting' section above except for one thing; I would keep Curse of the Cabal and make Braids your new general.
and no. definitely not
