Altoman on The Wicker Man, Recaned

Personally I would remove all 4 Rite of Consumption and replace them with 2 Dragon Breath and 2 Shred Memory.

To me, Rite of Consumption is a disaster recipe for a simple Counterspell. You are working so hard to put big boys on the field, why would you sacrifice them? If you absolutely want to use that mechanic, use Fling instead. It is at instant speed.

As for Shred Memory, don't read the first part. It's main use is to find Exhume (or maybe Fling)

Finally, I would exchange Funeral Charm with Duress. It's not about the discard, it's about looking at their hand to see if you can unleash the combo. However Funeral Charm is great in the sidedeck.

I'm not sure what format this is intended for so I'm sorry if any of my suggestions aren't legal. Most decks aiming for big demons opt for reanimation over other turbo out options, but I think you can make it work for a casual deck. I like Quicksilver Amulet for instance and I think you could also consider Heartless Summoning, Ancient Cellarspawn, or Crypt Ghast. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx makes Coffers slightly worse but I can't imagine it being a bad inclusion with so many black pips. Another option would be to include more demons in the low mana range so that you have some board presence early. Some that came to mind are Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire for tutoring, Master of the Feast if you want to lean into a Underworld Dreams/Orcish BowmastersGC plan, Desecration Demon for stats and potential board denial, and Nightmare Shepherd for removal insulation. Really though, if you want more consistency, the best thing you can do is add more copies of your best cards. This does incentivize picking a clear direction and you don't want to consolidate too much here lest you get too low on unique names for Contract. If I was building this, I think I'd go to 4 copies of Spawn of Mayhem and 2-4 The Speed Demon with a focus on dealing damage or life loss to get their relevant triggers. Changeling Outcast is perfect for this so I'd up them too. Removal like Smallpox or the safer Geth's Verdict can incur life loss, and I do recommend upgrading from Sorin's Thirst and Cremate anyway. Fatal Push, Dismember, and Feed the Swarm are all options with varying strengths and weaknesses. That's just one direction too. You could just as easily build around foretell with Dream Devourer and some symmetry-breaking Damnations, Rite of Consumption effects with overstatted guys like Abyssal Persecutor, or pure devotion with Gray Merchant and Bloodletter alongside tools like The Meathook Massacre or Leyline of the Void. If you pick the handful of demons you enjoy playing the most and run more copies, you'll have more games actually playing with them and can save your tutors for emergencies more often.

I like Rite of Consumption but I'd spend the money to replace Frightcrawler with Wight of the Reliquary instead.

Good budgeting here. Use a Rite of Consumption maybe?

You've made an excellent tribal deck! I love the theme and the sheer quantity of foil cards. I have a few budget suggestions, but I don't know if they have foil options or not.

Demonic Tutor is very powerful, but also incredibly expensive. If you are looking for a budget alternative, you could try Beseech the Queen. It's more CMC expensive, but lets you search for anything once you have enough lands.

Rite of Consumption is another cheap "sac a creature to kill a creature" option like Bone Splinters.

20 of your 26 creatures are 3 CMC or below, so you could get great mileage out of an Unearth. You could also try Soul Stair Expedition for creature returns possibly? This deck seems like you would have several opportunities for Plunge into Darkness for baiting people with whether you are going to replace a rat with Ninjitsu or sac them after attacking.

Have fun with the rat collection.

Scion of Primal Hunter on Artifact Chucker (40$ Budget)

I've always been around this idea, although I'd add an Arcbound Ravager without ifs and buts.

If the opponent swipes the table, you can always make him eat all the artifacts in response and shoot it with Fling (Which I would put 4x instead of Rite of Consumption better an instant effect than sorcery).

Hmmm maybe Rite of Consumption would be up your alley? Its bit slower than Fling being a sorcery and its locked to targeting a player but it also heals in a pinch also you know it's black.
