Looking for cards to fit a Demons/Deals theme

So I've been building a demon tribal deck around a "deal with the devil" theme (its rakdos) I think I have enough demons and a good idea of what edits to make on that front, but I'm lacking in cards that are deal-like. Some examples of such cards would be Tempt with Vengeance , Illicit Auction and Curse of Opulence . Ideally cards that suggest some kind of exchange or game that have some fun and interactive effects.
deck: Rakdos' Riot
Have you tried something like Pain's Reward? It is a great way to make people bargain life points for card draw. I don't use it in a demon deck, but I have gotten people to bid something like 12 life on turn 5 because they want to refill their hand, and then they get killed in the next go-around. It is a fun and hilarious card, and TCG has it for super cheap!

Red is the best for forcing decisions. You've got Whims of the Fates , Stronghold Gambit , Breaking Point , Browbeat , Flaming Gambit , Vexing Devil and Blazing Salvo , among others. But black isn't so bad itself, including Dash Hopes , Lethal Vapors , Temporal Extortion , Volrath's Dungeon and the aptly-named Choice of Damnations . Eye of Doom might also be an option for forcing people to choose which permanent to put on the chopping block.

ClockworkSwordfish those are indeed some spicy deals, I particularly like Temporal Extortion , Stronghold Gambit and Choice of Damnations
I did look at Captive Audience and I like it but I took it out to make way for other deals. It is firmly in the maybeboard though.

The offering cycle that cmdr 14 gave us, Volcanic Offering , and Infernal Offering .
There's voting from conspiracy like Capital Punishment and Bite of the Black Rose
There the chain cards. Like Chain of Smog and Chain Lightning
