Looks quite fun to play. My eyes read Dies Draconae, but my mind decided to play Verdi’s Dies Irae against a backdrop of soaring dragons spewing flame as I looked this over.

Altar of the Brood, Traveling Chocobo
Yes, that works. The Chocobo's effect cares about whether a land or bird entering caused an ability to trigger. It doesn't require the ability to be specifically written to trigger from lands. With the Chocobo on the battlefield, the Altar will an extra trigger from each land that enters, an extra trigger from each bird that enters, and no extra triggers from any non-land, non-bird (if the permanent is somehow both a bird and a land, there will just be one extra trigger).

They do use smaller fonts for cards with more text. Compare Teferi, Master of Time and Balamb T-Rexaur. There's just a minimum font size they're willing to use, meaning any text that wouldn't fit at that minimum font size is a no-go. Something like Takklemaggot might not be able to be printed anymore under the current font minimums and current rules templating conventions.

Happy to help. Also, you could replace Abzan Battle Priest for Envoy of the Ancestors. It technically covers more, lower mana, and it is about the same $$

In regards of manabase, I do have some shock lands/duals on my hand. The rule of proxies in my group is basically : if you own it, proxy it.
My group usually play bracket 3 and sometimes a low 4 and running not enough removal/counters. I do not mind spending, but i also don't want to make it a 5k deck.
Concerning the infinite combo with the poison/infect, my view on poison damage is pretty much like ''commander damage'', it's just another way to win but you gotta make it through a couple of times and not just get an infinite combo piece and it's done no matter what. Do you care showing me some combo you have in mind, i just might misunderstand what you're explaining. The reason i do not want to use such combo as Demonic Consultation + Thassa's Oracle is that we do not play that strong of decks in my pool and they don't enjoy it either. My pool doesn't run enough removal/counter to have these kind of strong game ender combo

You run 18 artifacts (plus creatures). It might be beneath your current passive life gain options but none of that doubles as a tutor. Chew on it. Agree with your Nomad analysis but still think Blighted could be a sneaky game ender.

This looks really fun. Both Boas seem weird, even though I get why they're here. My suggestion is to replace them with some copies of Scryb Ranger. It's a cheap flyer and can bounce you some lands before hitting in with Slayer.

I like these! I know these cards aren’t up to snuff when compared to more recent cards (or when used in newer formats like commander) but I really enjoy effects like this! I would definitely play them, as they would monkeywrench things like aristocrats decks. As “bad” as a card like this is, it’s going to be a kryptonite card in some circumstances. Niche cards like that will always have a place in my heart.

Balaam__ on mono-red

Interesting take on mono red. A cursory glance has me worried at the lack of Turn 1 plays. You have Simian Spirit Guide for a free , true, but that’s not a guarantee. If you don’t have access to that on Turn 1, you can’t really do much and will fall behind. I’d recommend dropping a few cards to add some 1 drop spells. Plenty of decent goblins that cost , or even just Lightning Bolt or something.

Prosperity is kind of tricky to use. X can't be greater than the number of cards in your deck if you don't want to deck yourself, so if an opponent happens to have more cards in their library than you it won't be possible to deck them out. You will have still drawn your deck so you'll have a way to win regardless, but your opponents now have most of their decks in hand too so they'll potentially be able to use interaction to stop whatever you do next. Since you've drawn all of your cards that means you'll lose on your next draw step and they might just get to untap and win on their turns. The best way you have to offset all of that is to have Jace, Wielder of Mysteries on the board. That way you can make sure that X is high enough that Prosperity decks everyone and you won't lose.
It will be funny if someone bounces or destroys Jace in response to you casting Prosperity though. At that point, I'm sure that your opponents would prefer to force a draw than just let you take the clean win.
I run Drown in Dreams as one of my X cost draw spells, but I also run spells that let me get cards back from my graveyard like Eternal Witness and Noxious Revival so I can squeeze a little extra value out of the card. There have been a number of times where I've targeted myself with both the card draw and mill parts of the spell because I was really digging for a combo piece and I had a card in hand that let me get something back from the graveyard. I could also use Drown in Dreams to beat all of my opponents too. With Zaxara out and a mana combo active I can draw my deck and mill out an opponent, cast Eternal Witness to get Drown in Dreams back, and then cast the spell again to force one opponent to draw out their deck while milling out my last opponent.

SaberTech I am now going to swap in BSZ just because I did not think of using it like that, I was always so focused on myself.
Wouldn't Prosperity also be another option for an X spell and draw everything from deck so I can simultaneously win and cause others to lose once I have my board set up?

Another way to make the deck more efficient while keeping its demonic core intact – and without relying too heavily on mana ramp – could be tutoring big demons from the library and cheating them directly onto the battlefield via alternative costs. That way, I can even skip their sacrifice effects if I want to.
It’s admittedly a bit schizophrenic considering I recently cut some of the more mana-heavy demons, but there are still plenty of major bosses in the list worth fetching and cheating out.
Cards like Diabolic Intent, Dark Petition, Beseech the Queen, or even bringing back Rune-Scarred Demon could help me tutor what I need.
And cards like Quicksilver Amulet, Thran Temporal Gateway, or Sneak Attack would let me deploy them for cheap, leaving room to cast two threats in one turn or keep mana open for interaction – like removal spells.
The possibilities are wide open.

Hmmm, yeah after taaking another look at Vivi, I guess it's prolly worth trying out. I'll see if I can get a couple copies on Arena to try out. Not sure I want to try and purchase any paper copies yet, he's expensive. one thing I will say about the Mysidian Elder is that it helps boost your wizard count by 2 the moment you cast him, and this leads to a T4 Kuja, Genome Sorcerer Flip flipping over and doubling the damage from your wizards more consistently.

Another small update to the deck. Once again, more big black demons are leaving. This time it really hurts, as these are strong cards that have worked quite well. However, I often find myself holding too many of them in hand, and the new cards offer slightly more support.
Demon of Fate's Design is excellent and its abilities can be very helpful. But this time I went for the more manageable mana cost of Doom Whisperer.
More mana reduction comes with the replacement of Rune-Scarred Demon by Ob Nixilis, the Fallen. It's cheaper and a very strong card. The bigger demon had great synergy with fetching Balrog, Rakdos, or Dreadfeast Demon to hand. Still, Ob Nixilis is more playable and better fits the theme.
The next two changes might seem unbalanced. Two large and powerful demons are being replaced by support spells. In both cases, the goal is to bring more stability to the deck, and if I have to cut something, it's the higher-mana black demons.
Eater of Hope and Bringer of the Last Gift make way for Bedevil and Rakdos Keyrune. Removal and mana ramp are always needed. While Eater of Hope is a solid removal option with some resilience and the ability to trigger sacrifice effects, it’s still quite slow to cast in this deck. Bringer of the Last Gift is ultimate and fun, but the deck needs some simplification. There are still enough powerful cards. Rakdos Keyrune is a bit slower, but it can also bring a body to the field for damage or sacrifice fodder.

The text size used to scale (the Copper Tablet I have in my torture deck is an example) and it was fine. I’m more concerned with how much stuff the cards do. I do want to have interesting effects, and writing it out in a way that won’t be taken advantage of can be difficult (like with the simple concept of Living Death), but I think they’ve found the sweet spot for font and should focus on maybe limiting cards to one effect.
