I run a similar list and 2 cards that absolutely win games are nightmare lash and strata scythe. I would maybe take out elixir and planar portal. Elixir doesn't do much in edh and black has much better options than portal. Also I would take out wits end for either mind sludge or Myojin of Night's reach. Another card that has been great because it comes back after wrath effects is Wurmcoil engine . I noticed you have a lot of demons which are my favorite creature type. One that is very powerful that I didn't see in your list which has been very good is pestilence demon maybe take out tombstalker for it because I vanilla 5/5 flyer isn't that great in EDH especially if your removing cards in your graveyard from the game given all the recursion you have. Sorin markov can be invaluable to kill the player gaining insane amounts of life. Some more equipments I really like in this kind of deck are lightning greaves to speed up the fatties/make them maze/targetted removal proofand loxodon warhammer given we tend to pay life for cards.

Deserted Temple and Rings of Brighthearth are both pretty good in here on their own, but when teamed with Cabal Coffers, they make infinite mana for a kill with any of several of your cards already in the deck.
Vesuva is an auto include. It becomes a second Coffers or kills an opposing legendary land.
To be honest, the reason i'm running elixir (and considering an eldrazi titan) is because recently I ran into Crumbling Sanctuary and it completely wrecked me, since life totals suddenly become 90+. Even when I was swinging for 40+ damage a turn (bonehoard + drana = lol), I ended up getting ganged up on and losing. So since then i've been trying to find ways to cycle my graveyard in case I run into that situation.
And I actually forgot about the stronghold, might have to pick that up.
@Blackjack68:
I'm considering the lands, but I don't really feel like adding much more until I run into the Urborg, i've been actively looking for one in my area, but I just can't seem to find any. As for Nightmare Lash and Mimic vat, consider them on my list of stuff to get!
@Nathanr310:
Strata scythe I have, but is in another deck, i'm looking for another one for this one. And the myojin is something I considered, and am still looking into. I actually have a Wurmcoil engine on its way to me, and its going in immediately. I do run pestilence too, he is a beast. I do actually have greaves and warhammer around somewhere, I should test those out.
Don't know how I missed that pestilence demon. Well I guess probably because I'm using a iPhone and the text is really small haha a fun trick with pestilence demon is to throw a warhammer or basilisk collar on him. Another demon I use in my drana deck isabyssal persecutor because he is amazing with equipment and with drana and all my removal it's never hard to get rid of him.

I'm considering persecutor, since I feel like I need more creatures.
I tried Avatar of Woe, but it always just seemed to slow when I got it. Every time I saw it, I wished it was a board sweep. Never tried Mirri the Cursed, might work since there is a good number of equipment, it's now on the test list.
And I kind of wanted to avoid using Chainer since my friend uses a Chainer EDH deck, but maybe it's worth a test.
I'd be quick to use phyrexian etchings if there were more reliable ways of removing counters, as this deck already gets targeted very fast at my playgroup. Considered Gravestorm for awhile, but since no one I play with really cares about their graveyard they would be quick to remove cards, and probably good reanimation targets. Don't really like greed, and null profusion i'm not too certain about.

Is there a specific reason you run Elixir of Immortality? I've always thought it was unimpressive in EDH.
Cheers,

Vesuva is an auto include. It becomes a second Coffers or kills an opposing legendary land.
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to make sure everything is a swamp.
Boseiju, who Shelters All to help get those big spells past countermagic.
Mimic Vat and Nightmare Lash should also be auto includes. Just read them, see how they synergize with so much in your deck. They're crazy good.
I've had good luck with Grim Discovery for recursion of a creature + my Cabal Coffers when it gets killed (and it does get killed a lot).
You might want to take a look at Mind Twist.
And Fleshbag Marauder over innocent blood as it can recur/repeat, especially with a Mimic Vat.
