This is my 8th Commander deck, centered around Demons and sacrifice effects

I will add the rest of the deck and card descriptions soon

Demons

Archfiend of Depravity controls the board by limiting enemy creature count to 2
Archfiend of Despair doubles enemy lifeloss. Great combo with Bloodletter of Aclazotz
Balor is a versatile fiend able to interact with the game in some way
Bloodgift Demon is a Phyrexian Arena on 5/4 wings
Bloodletter of Aclazotz also doubles enemy lifeloss, but only during my turn
Bothersome Quasit forces attacks between my opponents, disrupting their plans
Demon of Wailing Agonies is a great companion for Raphael, becoming a 7/7 Flying Lifelink with board cleansing abilities for 5 mana
Harvester of Souls is a card draw engine on a deadly creature
Kothophed, Soul Hoarder is another card similar to the Harvester
Lord of the Void steals an unplayed creature with each hit
Rakdos, Lord of Riots uses enemy lifeloss for ramp
Rakdos, Patron of Chaos draws 2 extra cards per turn unless opponents pay a heavy price
Rakdos, the Muscle benefits from sacrifices to steal more enemy unplayed cards, and has a sac outlet
Reaper from the Abyss provides additional board control
Rune-Scarred Demon is a tutor on a big flyer
Vilis, Broker of Blood brings another draw engine, this one with explosive potential

Draw and Tutors

Corrupted Conviction, Deadly Dispute and Village Rites sacrifice a creature for extra cards
Demonic Tutor, Imperial Seal and Vampiric Tutor are staple tutor cards
Skullclamp is used on a marked for death creature to get card advantage
The One Ring grants temporary ultimate protection and increasingly draws cards

Edit

Trying out:

Rakdos, the Muscle for Black Market
Rising of the Day for The Immortal Sun
Cabal Ritual for Defiler of Flesh
Bothersome Quasit for Rune-Scarred Demon

Black Market is awesome when it enters early on, but if not it is a slow card for a big cost. Rakdos delivers another sac outlet and effect on a powerful demon

Immortal Sun is a great card, but it is expensive and doesn't do much until next turn. Rising grants everyone Haste and extra power for Legendaries, which I have a few, and costs half the mana

Defiler of Flesh is a pretty fun card that has good ramp and support, but I'll be trying Cabal Ritual for the faster speed it provides

Quasit is very cheap for such a disruptive ability, which also increases his evasiveness. Rune-Scarred is very respectable, but also much more costly, and I already have plenty of drawing and 3 other tutors

Let's see how the new cards fare. These changes also slighty reduce the deck's average CMC
