If you're running extra planar lens, I recommend using Snow-Covered Swamp to make the benefit one sided.

Cabal Stronghold is a solid budget land ramp option - to be upgrade to Cabal coffers when $ permits.

Syphon Mind is a solid budget card draw option.

Reliquary Tower - For all ur draw/recursion

While mono black excels in omni tutors, you don't need to use many or the expensive ones to get some benefit. Budget options like Insatiable Avarice and Beseech the Queen can get you what you need. Mausoleum Secrets is also a powerful contendor

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.

It's hard to suggest a good tutor for your color combination. I really want to suggest to splash white for Enlightened Tutor because it can find anything you need in this deck. But if its not possible for you, I'm thinking of Profane Tutor, Grim Tutor, or Beseech the Queen.

"I'm a bit curious what happens if someone resolves a good creature before you can lock them out of cards"

I think his plan is to land Ensnaring Bridge against Creature based decks.

Nice this looks super solid good work! I see you've got Demonic Tutor, my only suggestion would be an enchant tutor or two to help ensure you snag those powerful cards. Idyllic Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, maybe Plea for Guidance. Alternatively maybe Diabolic Intent or Diabolic Tutor or Beseech the Queen.

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.

Woo I love Land decks, this commander is cool! Nice take on land sac / destruction. Here are some of my thoughts. I see Crucible of Worlds which is good, Conduit of Worlds is also worth considering for redundancy. Natural Emergence is my fav, but maybe not what you're going for here? Oracle of Mul Daya and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove are normally auto includes, and maybe Exploration. Some {B} Tutor cards would also be useful to ensure you can pull key combo cards, IE Demonic Tutor, Beseech the Queen. Tbh I haven't explored Land sac options a lot, but doing some cursory searching Dreamscape Artist looks like it could be at home here (if running more basic Lands). Chain of Vapor, Demonic Hordes, Raze, Custody Battle, Hammer of Purphoros, Crop Rotation. Lotta cool stuff to consider, but great work with your list. Defs got me intrigued.

Beseech the Mirror and Beseech the Queen are additional tutors that might interest you to help you with consistency. More card draw in the form of Syphon Mind and Read the Bones are useful as well to maintain gas and help you get what you need. Dead of Winter might fit well for this deck as another wipe given your snow lands.

Regarding non-creature based decks, what is your meta looking like in terms of that? Is it a lot of blue players? If so, some hand hate in the form of Mind Twist (note, it says random!) as counterbait or Thought Distortion for something as a silver bullet.

Given your commander deck is heavily based on your commander, you should find additional ways to protect it. Whether it's something simple like lightning greaves or swiftfoot boots, or something more generally helpful such as Necropotence to give you additional draw to help with your ward.

I can give you ideas for cuts if you want.

Some thoughts that immediately come to mind:

• A way of getting even more creatures as Braids fodder is Bitterblossom. I highly recommend it. You may also consider rejiggering the land base to make Field of the Dead worthwhile: you have enough lands to make it work, but more options to make it more feasible may not be a bad idea. You could also use things like Reassembling Skeleton to feed Braids even more.
• I know a lot of people don't like tutors, but tutors here can be quite handy. Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Beseech the Queen, and Diabolic Intent are all possibly worthwhile. You could also consider some deck-thinning lands like Prismatic Vista and Fabled Passage.
• Mana-rock-wise, Mox Amber might be worthwhile.
• I vote Contamination for any mono-black deck. It's a great way to lose friends (which might be the point).
