So, I've been a very casual MTG player for a long time. Started with Mono Black Zombies, switched to a Golgari Dredge/Reanimator list with Jarad, briefly splashed to White with Karador and finally found home with Dimir (which always caught my eye).

Now, as I said, although I'm pretty much familiarized with rules and mechanics in general, I still have things to learn and most of the time I have to be reading my opponents cards before I decide if countering is necessary.

What I try to attempt with this deck is finding a reliable way to fill Graveyards so I can steal things with The Scarab God. I'm looking for suggestions like lands, some other counters, a reliable wincon that doesn't depend on me stealing stuff and a way to improve my ramp because I've been noticing that's what usually stops me. I don't have a limit on my budget (I'll be buying things over time) but I don't want to spend more than 50 bucks for a single card.

The following are the cards I'd like to replace (better counters, removals, card draw)
