Welcome to my take on creating a commander deck for Razaketh, the Foulblooded.
Any feedback would be appreciated. However this is semi-budget.

Cards

Extra Bodies

These creatures give extra bodies to sacrifice.
Abhorrent Overlord drops many tokens to sacrifice, normally three or more if Razaketh is on the field.
Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder creates many thrulls. However due to Razaketh's mana cost (8) it dies when it enters.
Myr Battlesphere, four extra bodies.
Ogre Slumlord, essentially lets you tutor twice when you sac a non-token creature. The rats can be used as blockers, and as a bonus they have deathtouch.
Overseer of the Damned gives you a 2/2 body when a creature your opponent controls dies.
Pawn of Ulamog is just like Ogre Slumlord. Lets you tutor twice and can always be sacrificed for mana.
Sengir Autocrat, gives an extra three 0/1 bodies that can be used to tutor.
Sifter of Skulls, lets you tutor twice, and the 1/1 token can be sacrificed for mana.

Utility/Sacrifice Triggers

These are cards that have some utility or have triggers when you sacrifice a creature.
Archfiend of Depravity sacrifices your opponents creatures (except two).
Blood Artist lets you gain life and hurt your opponents while you tutor for your cards.
Butcher of Malakir, when you sacrife, everyone sacrifices. Pretty self explanatory.
Gonti, Lord of Luxury lets you cast cards from your opponents library.
Gray Merchant of Asphodel, mass life gain for you while your opponents loss life.
Harvester of Souls lets you draw a card when you sacrifice. However only if you sacrifice a non-token creature.
Reaper from the Abyss, since you can tutor at instant speed, if done correctly, lets you remove a non-demon creature every end step.
Reassembling Skeleton, a constant creature to sacrifice.
Sangromancer, lets you gain life, needed if we're constantly paying two life to tutor. Has some great synergies.
Smothering Abomination, when you sacrifice a creature, you might as well draw a card.
Zulaport Cutthroat, another life gain while your opponents lose life. Just like Blood Artist.
Dictate of Erebos, everyone gets to sacrifice.

Ramp

Self explanatory, cards that help you ramp up. Especially useful since our commander costs 8 to cast
Crypt Ghast doubles our mana.
Leaden Myr is just general ramp.
Magus of the Coffers is good ramp.
Palladium Myr is more general ramp.
Black Market should grow a lot, but is more suited to late game when we're sacrificing creature constantly
Bubbling Muck doubles our mana for a turn, good for casting Razaketh for the first time.
Ashnod's Altar, if you're low on mana, just sacrifice your tokens for mana instead of tutoring.
Bontu's Monument lowers all black creatures cost.
Caged Sun also doubles our mana while making our creatures stronger.
Charcoal Diamond just extra mana.
Sol Ring, no reason not to run it.
Dark Ritual is a good one time ramp to get Razaketh out.

Graveyard

These are cards that return creatures to the battlefield or your hand.
Palace Siege is a constant graveyard to hand permanent.
Phyrexian Reclamation is another constant graveyard to hand enchantment.
Grim Return, could be used to reanimate a creature you just sacrificed to tutor.
Whip of Erebos lets you reanimate your creatures for a single turn. As a bonus it gives our creatures lifelink.

Removal/Board Wipes

These are cards that destroy creatures, or the whole board.
Black Sun's Zenith is just a good board wipe.
Mutilate is mass removal since most of our lands are swamps.
Torment of Hailfire can be a board wipe.
Malicious Affliction will most of the time destroy two target creatures.
Tendrils of Corruption is just a simple removal, and since we run lots of swamps, it will most likely destroy the creature.
Tragic Slip will be most of the time -13/-13 since we've sacrificed a creature to tutor.
Victim of Night is simple removal.

Equipment

These are equipment that help buff up your creatures. The living weapons are especially good since you can sacrifice the 0/0 germ token.
Bonehoard is extra damage, since you will have many creatures in your graveyard.
Lashwrithe is again, extra damage, since you will have many swamps.
Skullclamp, if you're going to sacrifice a creature, you might as well draw two cards.
Swiftfoot Boots helps Razaketh avoid removal.

Win Conditions

These are cards/synergies that should help you win the game
Exsanguinate if cast with a lot of mana, should kill or significantly lower your opponents life.
Torment of Hailfire, same as above.

Other

Diabolic Tutor is just a simple tutor.
Trading Post we will most of the time want the second ability, to create a token.
Imp's Mischief, Razaketh tutors at instant speed. If someone casts an instant or sorcery you don't like, tutor for this, and change the target.
Mimic Vat, reanimation once a turn. Good with Gonti, Lord of Luxury
Cauldron of Souls, doubles our ability to tutor.
