Dark Deal
Sorcery
Each player discards all the cards in his or her hand, then draws that many cards minus one.

Suggested cuts: Waste Not - enemy discard is a secondary strategy, and viable, but this is a card that is only a payoff for a secondary strategy. I think it may be dead enough that it doesn't warrant a slot.
Logic Knot - would be sweet if it was {U} less. As is, it's a strictly inferior counterspell that uses a valuable resource to be effective
Fervent Denial - 5 mana is a lot to hold up, 7 will almost never happen in a board-presence focused deck.
Dark Deal - wheels are decent here, but this Mind Rots yourself. Have 4 cards, cast this, end up with 2. The other wheels can benefit from enemy high card counts. This does disrupt opponents, but that's gonna draw some ire and you just binned half your resources. If you can withstand the ire you should be winning anyway. Something like Frantic Search would be better IMO.
Zombie Infestation - two cards plus one upfront is a steep price. I don't know that you have enough reanimation to need to dump your hand at instant speed when you already have Varina available.
Dismantling Blow - a glorified Disenchant 90% of the time. A 6 mana spell the rest of the time.
Suggestions not many at this stage. Gleaming Overseer is a consideration if you find yourself heavy into tokens. I'm a big fan of a few cards in your maybe list: Obsessive Search, and Kindred Discovery. Though the latter is slow.
Matzalantli is cute but I'd be wary of labelling it as ramp when assessing your manabase given it needs 7 mana to activate, and won't be online until at LEAST turn 5. It's defs more a Gilded Lotus than Arcane Signet

Nice deck. A bit heavy on creatures? You need a few more Dimir tricks.
Ideas Unbound, Windfall and/or Dark Deal big card draw
Deep Analysis little card draw
Increasing Ambition big tutor
Mystical Teachings little tutor
Dark Withering great removal
Circular Logic great counterspell
Forbid and/or Demonic Collusion forever

Once you get your opponent's hand empty, they're probably going to be drawing and playing one cards a turn, so there's no actual discard for Liliana's Caress. Caress wants your opponent to be discarding a lot, which means your opponent needs to refill their hand once in a while. Since this deck looks like it's trying to get the opponents hand empty, rather than constantly discarding, The Rack or Shrieking Affliction would probably be more reliable. If you want to build around Caress, cards like Dark Deal or Baleful Mastery might help here.
Acquisitions Expert is slightly better than Corrupt Court Official, if you want to keep the creature base the same.
Depending on budget, Liliana of the Veil is more reliable discard than Dreamstealer here, and the Orcish Bowmasters in the maybeboard are a good deterrent for, hmm, pretty much everything. Still $60+ each, though.

Dark Deal and Ill-Gotten Gains are brutal alongside Tergrid.
Mire in Misery and Sheoldred's Edict are swiss army knife utility.

Out of curiosity, how well does this deck play? I see a pretty high average cmc and very little mana acceleration (4 ramp spells and Dark Ritual). You could probably cut a lot of the unsynergistic cards in this deck for ramp and better support pieces and still keep things relatively budget. Also, Dark Deal and Malakir Rebirth Flip are shoe-ins for this deck.

Rainbow in the Dark: Haakon Reanimator Combo

One with Nothing I see it in your maybe board. If you want to run it for flavor I respect that but what immediately comes to mind in a mono colored graveyard strategy is... Null Brooch. Sure it's more than 1 mana but it's a repeatable Negate in mono black.
Dark Deal is a black Windfall. Another Ill-Gotten Gains type effect.
