Demon Tribal

This deck aims to be a nasty deck that tutors big bois out and adapts to unique situations with different forms of oppression. Utilize Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire's tutor ability to pull whatever you need for the situation and the many nasty Demons to pressure the enemy into not being able to do what they want.

If anything slips by there's a solid amount of removal to answer any threats as well. Also, there's a fair bit of grave reanimation to bring back key hitters.

I aim for this to be a pretty mean deck. It needs to ramp fast or use cheats and/or sac outlets to get the high CMC stuff out fast enough to be scary, and then keep them out or keep bringing them back once they get into play. It's all about the pressure.

This used to be led by Razaketh, the Foulblooded, but the deck was turning on far too slowly to hold it's weight. Maybe it depended too much on the tutor to get the ball rolling, so it'd always take too long to be able to use it. Still, with Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire, I plan early tutoring for ramp such as Empowered Autogenerator, Nyx Lotus, and Pyramid of the Pantheon. Once there is a bit of mana to work with I'll support it with mana multipliers such as Black Market, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, and Cabal Coffers.

I am looking for how to optimize my choice of Demons, synergize the tribe and add any overall tribal goodstuff relevant to Demons style, speed up deck more if possible, and add a bit of protection. I'm not sure if the deck is too creature heavy currently, but am having a hard time reducing the list smaller. Any beneficial enchantment oppression would be nice to include, but I can't find the room for it any more. I'm also concerned about the life costs and lack of lifegain to compensate that or the targeted attention this will be bound to get. I think I'll need a way to have flexible or wide-net lifegain (Exquisite Blood?) and some protection to keep my guys safe from being taken out. Necropotence was on here, but I felt card draw unnecessary when at the time Raz was superior in tutoring to my hand, and at instant speed.
