I've had this one in the barrel for awhile but am looking to start buying it out. There were a lot of changes made right after I put it together, but given my "I really only play Black" brainrot I feel like there probably could be some more improvements.
#Rin & Seri

I would just double down on running cat tribal, there is no reason you need to play mediocre draft chaff like alpine watchdog
The only dog I'd consider running is the dog lord [[Pack Leader]]
Creature — Dog
Other Dogs you control get +1/+1.
Whenever Pack Leader attacks, prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn to Dogs you control.
He will be your loyal champion, and his pack your protectors. All he asks for is a full belly, a spot by the fire, and all the love in your heart.
2/2
The deck seems rather lacking in card draw atm
You can probably run stuff like Guardian Project and beast whisperer here. While they won't trigger off of the tokens, they pair well with your self bouncing cats
I have a rin and seri deck and it’s a lot of fun to play!
One thing I noticed is that Rin and Seri will quickly draw hate once people start to realize the commander has cheap repeatable removal built in. As such when piloting I’m careful not to over do it and run quite a few protection cards.
I agree with @ornate tide that leaning into cat tribal is a great move. I only run 3 dogs in my deck
[[spirited companion]] [[selfless savior]] and [[resolute watchdog]]
There’s also a handful of changelings your missing that I’d recommend:
[[universal automaton]] 1 mana for 3 bodies is a hard rate to pass up
[[imposter of the sixth pride]] also true at 2 mana
[[masked vandal]] 3 bodies and removal?! Fantastic
[[irregular cohort]] most controversial of the 4, but 4 bodies is also great at 4 mana. Esp. if 2 are shapeshifters and count as cats and dogs.
Honorable mention, [[crib swap]] is amazing. 2 bodies on your removal card!
Irregular Cohort <:mana2:292901509060886528><:manaw:1007102126813610074><:manaw:1007102126813610074>
Creature — Shapeshifter
Changeling (This card is every creature type.)
When Irregular Cohort enters the battlefield, create a 2/2 colorless Shapeshifter creature token with changeling.
Where fickle form meets lasting loyalty.
2/2
Also agree with @ornate tide that you don’t have enough card draw, I only see 2 card draw cards in that deck.
Some suggestions on top of the cards already suggested:
[[skullclamp]] (best draw spell in magic for a token deck)
[[idol of oblivion]]
[[return of the wild speaker]] (Card draw or pump up)
[[camraderie]] (card draw and pump up)
[[shamanic revelation]]
makes me think of [[Felidar Sovereign]]
, Sacrifice Resolute Watchdog: Target creature you control gains indestructible until end of turn. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it.)
: Draw a card. Activate only if you created a token this turn.
