Ah, demons. My Kaalia deck lost all its dragons pretty quickly once I got a copy of Scion of the Ur-Dragon, and slowly I've been phasing out more demons for angels while I waited for a more suitable commander for them. Thankfully, Be'Lakor, the Dark Master provides more than just a sick model for painting - Grixis is the perfect colour shard to ensure playing any demon while his abilities refill your hand and function as removal. As with my other universes beyond decks I have tried to keep out cards that don't feel fitting, but thankfully most actual demons are pretty grimdark and slot straight in. What I do lose from this choice is predominantly blue cards that flicker and copy the demons to reuse their ETBs, but that keeps the power level down somewhat.
