Demon Commander Decks
Big black threats that charge you life, sacrifices, or both. The tribe has no lords worth playing, so demon decks are really reanimator decks that cheat the costs instead of paying them.

Demon Reanimator — Cheat the Cost
Fill the graveyard with massive Demon threats and reanimate them early, while using recursive sacrifice fodder to satisfy upkeep costs and fuel Taborax's draw engine.

Commanders that care about demons
Legendary demons whose rules text actually names the creature type — these reward building around the tribe, rather than just belonging to it. Ordered by current market price, which is the closest thing to a popularity signal we can honestly compute.

The demon support package
Cards that are not demons themselves but name them in their rules text — the lords, anthems, tutors and payoffs that turn a pile of creatures into a deck. 51 of them are legal in Commander.
Where demons live
Color identity of every legal demon in the format. This is what decides your commander's colors before you pick a single card.
Under a dollar
Playable demons currently under $1 — the cheap end of the pool, priced from the least expensive real printing.
