1º Update:

Some adjusts to mana curve in order to improve speed and board impact.

• Priority wincons are:

1- Doomsday Excruciator to destroy their hope;

2- Helm of Obedience + Leyline of the Void OR Helm of Obedience + Dauthi Voidwalker to obliterate their dreams;

3- Bloodletter of Aclazotz + Scourge of the Skyclaves OR Warlock Class + Scourge of the Skyclaves to consume their lives

For cuts I would recommend:

Professor Onyx - While Liliana's side job is beneficial for society (educators are very important, especially those who help us raise people from the dead), the deck doesn't have a strong spell slinger theme so her static doesnt work, the minus three is not as optimal as it makes itself out to be, and other effects are... not worth the six mana and time required.

Charcoal Diamond - You've got a ridiculous amount of ramp in this deck already, not sure this piece is needed. Plus, with the way K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth works, you want to ramp in colourless more than in black with your artifacts and similar since K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth always pays for black anyways, so Mind Stone just makes Charcoal Diamond look that much more of a downgrade.

Defense Grid - Not really seeing the point. Plus, this is meant to be a casual deck, all this will do is make everyone more upset and make interaction harder.

Saw in Half - It's a fun card not really worth adding.

Meathook Massacre 2 - I have a feeling it's a bit redundant to have both, especially since they both do a bit different things and you've got many tutors. Cutting the second part instead of its original installation would make more sense because this copy does cost a lot for its effect, whereas The Meathook Massacre became so played because it being pretty low costing for everything it does.

Paradise Plume - A lot of mana for its effect, and you have too many ramp cards.

Shared Trauma - Not too sure on this card's inclusion and what it would do.

Chain of Smog - I personally don't think discard cards are very strong in EDH, might be a good cut. I can see this being played against CEDH players and having a big effect, but EDH? Not as convinced.

Grim Tutor - You've got a lot of tutors, you can cut this one.

Final Parting - Same as above.

Diabolic Tutor - You can guess what I've got to say about this one.

Platinum Angel - I think take this one out. You can't pay life below zero so I'm not sure why else this would be in the deck.

Phage the Untouchable - As you said, you'd put it in your maybeboard and have it come out a game or two so you can just say you've killed someone with Phage, but I'd probably just keep it in the maybeboard.

Orcish Bowmasters - What are you playing, CEDH?

Opposition AgentGC - This is really more a meta suggestion than anything, but you don't verse people with a lot of tutors, you'd be lucky if people run more than one tutor. I'd cut this just from a meta perspective, or at least have it as a maybeboard card.

Doomsday Excruciator - Eh, nah.

Dimir House Guard - It's a sac outlet and a tutor in one, so I see what you're going with, which is why I'm only partially suggesting it as a cut, but also it's not the best at either job.

Chainer, Dementia Master - Not sure I'm feeling Chainer in this deck specifically.

Bloodletter of Aclazotz - Would be a lovely card for our cube, but I think there are already better finishers in this deck.

Asmodeus the Archfiend - Another maybe cut. It's a fun and spicy card, but also you're losing a lot of life for an effect which you do better with other cards in here. You really don't want to have too many cards that do similar things, especially since you've got many tutors and draw cards.

Cabal Stronghold - You've got three basic lands. There is no world in which you could activate this card and get a payoff from it.

Emergence Zone - Playing stuff at instant speed doesn't really help your deck.

Rogue's Passage - Zero use in this deck.

/

I also have addition suggestions:

Torment of Hailfire - Not sure why this isn't here.

Swamp - Add one Swamp for every land cut.

If cards are exiled face down, that means the information needs to stay hidden. Bomat Courier will exile cards that you will only get access to if you discard your hand, you're not allowed to compare the exiled cards with your hand before making that choice.

Doomsday Excruciator exiles most of all libraries, and exiled face-down, because it needs to be a secret what the remaining cards are. That's always the reason to Exile face-down.

Typically, cards are exiled face up, but on rare occasion, cards are exiled faced down, and, in those cases, that is so they can be retrieved, later, but Doomsday Excruciator exiles cards face down with no way to retrieve them, so I wonder why that is, since I see no reason for it to do so.

What does everyone else here say, about this? Why does Doomsday Excruciator exile cards face down? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, on this subject.

On turn 2? Mana rocks, rituals, and tutors. Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Jeweled Lotus, Lion's Eye Diamond, Imperial Seal, Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Entomb + Reanimate if you want to try the reanimator route.

Obligatory disclaimer that I'm not a high-level EDH player, but K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth needs 4 mana minimum to cast, and you need to get Doomsday Excruciator into your hand without mulliganing to uselessness. It's going to take a lot of resources to get them out even semi-regularly.
