This deck is a bit too ambitious when it comes to mutlicolour spells. You also can't block until turn 6. 4x Crackling Doom, 2x Esper Charm, 2x Inevitable Defeat and 8x bombs means your hand is a nothingburger at the start of the game. Another big problem with this deck is you have very little card advantage and card selection, so you can't control the board enough to actually play your bombs.
I really like Goblin Dark-Dwellers and your inclusion of Anguished Unmaking, Mortify and early game Lightning Helix. Kolaghan's Command is cool but your deck doesn't churn and also doesn't have many creatures. Cut / Ribbons doesn't make sense because you're not going to get enough mana for an efficient lethal. You're going to win by control. You should play Flame Slash or Lightning Bolt or something else.
Momentary Blink doesn't benefit this deck as much as Negate.
Here's a package of cards you could consider to add more Churn and bring your deck back down to a more midrange area:
Your mana base would benefit from lands that can produce four colours of mana like Unknown Shores.
Your deck idea is lit btw. I haven't thought of this yet.

rona, herald of invasion works with retraction helix + mox amber. more emries + rona might make playing more mox ambers make more sense. If you're playing 4 emries, having 4 Mishra's Bauble would be a no-brainer.
Urza, Lord High Artificer might also be a solid addition, allows you to generate infinite mana regardless of whether or not you have mox amber.
Generally, thassa's oracle is better than labman. other wincon considerations are Bitter Ordeal, Cut / Ribbons, Grinding Station or Grapeshot.
that being said, playing 1x emrakul is probably the best wincon. it would allow you to loot infinitely until you get an infinite mana enabler.
another direction to go is Sleep-Cursed Faerie. It might not go infinite but it can probably bounce your opponents board with retraction helix if you have an urza in play.

Always love to see other people brewing with Shared Fate!! Love the Cut / Ribbons, that's perfect for this strategy. I have an entire folder of shared fate decks lol, I'll have to add that card.

Rocketman988 thanks so much! I had a busy couple of weeks so am only just getting to digest everything you've suggested. This is fantastic, thank you again!
Originally I had most of the devil token sorceries you suggested, then I took them out for a similar reason to something we've talked about in your deck's discussions with big demons: it has to be able do something other than be a body. Burn Down the House was the only one that made sense after that, but I think now the deck is at the point where I don't have enough tokens. It's the bad middle ground between how you've built yours, where you're expecting a small board state, and how I was originally planning to go wide and sac things without disrupting my board state. So, you're right as always, I'll put those back in the deck. I had never heard of Carrion, that card is perfect! I love Wand of Orcus, it's in my zombie deck; I think I kept it out of this one because of some idea of theme (that it's devils serving demons), but I literally have Orcus in the deck and he's allowed to play with his wand.
You did break my heart a little bit with the Strionic Resonator news, it was there either as an insurance policy (whether I get to deal damage or not, you're going to sacrifice your permanents), or as a way to share the love and have everyone sac things. Now that I know it doesn't work that way, it's kind of a relief, it opens up space for more cards that lean into the deck's main strategies/more protection for the key pieces.
That's kinda the big issue, I have so many demon strategies I want to play, I have two demon decks, and even then a lot of things don't fit in either. It's the issue with every deckbuilding process, cool cards that don't lend to your main strategy. Originally I had the deck full of possibly inefficient cards with flashback costs to synergize with Lord of the Forsaken, because I wanted to do something similar to what your deck does with Treasonous Ogre (not a demon, so I'm iffy about putting it in this one), Doom Whisperer, and Repay in Kind. That enters life manipulation territory, which my other demon deck focuses on more, but then I can't use Cut / Ribbons because that deck is mono black. Similarly, your Hellcarver Demon combos are some of the coolest bits of synergy I've ever seen, but again it feels like it fits better thematically in my other deck, but yours benefit greatly from having access to extra combats and haste. I've been deciding whether a Pestilence Demon + Shriveling Rot play fits better in this deck or the other, currently it's in the other one because that deck was starting to get boring (ramp, ramp, ramp, ramp, cast Razaketh, the Foulblooded, tutor, tutor, you lose half your life, you lose that much life again. I win). It sounds like I'm going to look closely at both decks and do whatever rebuilding I need to do.
I just bought a box of Commander Masters, so I've spent the weekend upgrading 4 other decks. Today can be Daddy Rakdos day, I'll keep this thread updated as I do it

The_Warleader Cut / Ribbons probably works best for the extra damage purpose, while still buffing Mindshrieker enough to protect from Bolt. Rags / Riches might be best for replacing Blinkmoth Infusion

[Primer] Mogis' Slaughter House: Murder Made Tasty

Very nice Rakdos slug deck. I highly recommend adding Repercussion to pair with Blasphemous Act which is already in your deck, as well as Mana Geyser paired with Cut / Ribbons which is in your maybe board. Both those pairings have won me many games with my group slug deck - just this past Friday, Repercussion did 117 damage to one fella, and I followed it up with X=19 Ribbons thanks to Mana Geyser.
I took Haunting Wind as an idea from your deck list and will have to place it within my own - to punish all those treasure lovers out there!

Cool deck!!!
Because you will have blood tokens and have to discard cards to draw cards, have you considered running some cards with flashback or aftermath so they are useful cards in your graveyard?
Some examples: Dread Return, Cut / Ribbons, Crawl from the Cellar, Faithless Looting, Seize the Day, Visions of Dread, Visions of Ruin, Wake to Slaughter are some options!
Anyway just some thoughts, cheers and have fun!!
