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 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.

Braids, the Mastermind

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).

You draw you lose

Some small recommendations I can think of:
- You have a lot of drawing for all parties, but your opponents will also be discarding (quite likely, especially given the Memory Jar). I therefore recommend Megrim, which actually is the reason Memory Jar became the first emergency ban in MTG history. You could also run things like Animate Dead, Reanimate, and Necromancy to take advantage of loading up your opponents' graveyards. Of course, Rise of the Dark Realms is a nice showstopper, though it's quite pricey...
- Archfiend of Despair is a delightful combination of Wound Reflection (already recommended) as well as stopping lifegain. I love using it wherever I can. (It's also a demon, so it synergizes with one of your alternate win cons.)
- You could also consider going more of a snow-covered route, so replacing your basic swamps with the snow-covered kind and going with Extraplanar Lens to amplify your black mana. Crypt Ghast also is another mana accelerator.
- The Meathook Massacre and Massacre Wurm are also "board wipe with benefits" that I highly recommend. I also almost always play Kokusho, the Evening Star in every black deck I run. Archfiend of Despair could also be another fun option for removing things and punishing your opponents.
- Some of your artifacts and tutors could be better. Rather than Wayfarer's Bauble, I could suggest Expedition Map instead. Grim Tutor, Planar Bridge, and Beseech the Queen could also make for fun tutoring.
- I'm not sure if Gemstone Caverns and Mox Diamond
are worth it here: sure, they're fast and get you more mana quickly (always a good thing), but the multicolored mana isn't so necessary. There are options I might prefer like Mox Amber, Mana Vault, Volrath's Stronghold...
- For a mono-black deck, Contamination might be a great way to lose all friends. I highly recommend it.

Beseech the Mirror > Diabolic tutor - It has another black symbol for your commander, can act as a sac outlet and even a potential free spell. Pretty much a strict upgrade.
Cabal stronghold should be cut IMO because it isn't impactful enough. You need 4 basics just to break even and 5 basics just for 1 mana. It doesn't get a benefit from urborg like coffers does. If this was a more basic, budget deck I could see it's inclusion, but I don't feel its impactful enough for a build of this quality. What has your experience been with it? Perhaps swap in a Bojuka Bog and/or a fetchland? Bog is nice given your lack of grave hate (meta dependent). The fetchland is nice because it can bring in bog at instant speed or even witches cottage. Not to mention potential shuffling synergy. None of needed of course, just wanted to offer a potential alternative utility land that could still tap for black (unlike stronghold). Urborg allows you to keep the fetch until you need it too!
Should neither of those lands interest you, perhaps a Deserted Temple to untap coffers/nykthos/crypt + politics?
I notice a lot of your deck is devotion based, how has that been going for you? How often did you need devotion on board for a card like Sanguimancy where it just didn't pan out as needed? I think sanguimancy is a ripe cut, expensive cost and boardstate required.
At the risk of winmore, Alhammarret's Archive?
In Garruk's Wake - 7-9 mana for a wipe is a bit expensive. How has it been? Same idea with Increasing Ambition. 5 mana for a card and then 8 for 2 cards is a bit steep. I think Vampiric Tutor to help you set up draws, cast "for free" and at instant speed is better.
One thing I will say, I love the synergy of the entire deck, seems to flow very nicely without too much fat on it. I know most Krrik decks focus on a lower avg cmc to go with their speedy commander. What made you chose a more midrange approach, the resiliency? Have you thought of cutting down the avg cmc from 4.00 to 3.8 or potentially 3.6? Speeding it up would make this even more deadly!
