Dauthi Embrace and/or maybe creatures with the Myriad ability.

Maybe Rite of the Raging Storm? Rite plays very well with Exquisite Blood and Berserkers' Onslaught, as well as Dauthi Embrace (fwiw Rite and Revel in Riches are almost a combo). There and Back Again is an interesting option, especially since your Commander can kill Smaug if you want the mana. Captive Audience is an old favorite of mine, though the tokens can backfire I guess. Since you're probably not on any combos maybe Protection Racket? Liliana's Contract can draw some cards without a huge drawback. There is also Infernal Tribute, which can draw cards and can get rid of Enchantments you want gone.

Oooh, just had an evil thought, what if you used Descent into Avernus? It'll help keep your Commander on the field while ensuring the maximum number of triggers for him, all while paring away life from each player!

Minas Morgul, Dark Fortress – permanently give a creature shadow

Dauthi Embrace – another shadow outlet

If you want more, I got more let me know. If not, cool deal. Totally give an upvote.

Since you are running Dauthi Embrace, how about Minas Morgul, Dark Fortress as an alternate land based option? Although it costs more to activate, the shadow counter is permanent.

I'd suggest Binding the Old Gods instead of the Putrefy and maybe Stinging Study instead of Harmonize.

Also for your consideration: Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Dauthi Embrace, Cover of Darkness, Dragon Shadow, Dragon Fangs, Bow of Nylea, Saryth, the Viper's Fang, Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar, Familiar Ground, Farseek, Boar Umbra, Fully Grown, Gaea's Embrace, The Irencrag, and Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip

If you can get copies I feel like Exquisite Blood and Bloodchief Ascension would generate a ton of life with your Goading stuff, the risk of these cards is that you get targeted early, Goad helps offset this nicely I'd wager. It's a bit janky, but Elemental Mastery would be a nifty way to technically swing at each opponent while your Commander is out without risking anything of any value. Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer seems interesting if you can count on having lots of stuff Goaded, he also makes it hard for someone to stockpile weenies to Craterhoof you later (I checked and you can get other versions for cheaper, I just can't seem to link to them!). Professional Face-Breaker is a nice option if you think you can get in for damage.

I absolutely love Ghoulish Impetus in a deck that wants to see people swinging, makes a whole bunch of dead stuff surprisingly quickly if you pick your creatures well.

I think if you really want to run something like Spiteful Visions I'd consider something like Fate Unraveler or even Underworld Dreams, these reinforce the effect. Another card that'd be amazing with it would be Exquisite Blood that I mentioned earlier. Temple Bell or Humble Defector are some draw effects that might synergize with what you're doing, adding political draw effects.

Oh yeah, if you like to sow Chaos, I love how much you can do with Dauthi Embrace. If you like Varchild, maybe Varchild's War-Riders? I remember finding one of these in a store's binder and picking it up, it worked well in 1v1, but if you can goad them all they won't be a problem until late (when you're 1v1), at which point the card lets you sacrifice it.

I bet this deck is a blast to play!

Well, my Pavel Maliki deck liked to use a few interesting sources of evasion, Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Dauthi Embrace, Mask of Griselbrand, and possibly Scavenged Brawler. I use these in conjunction with a fairly large number of board wipes that help thin the board and help get in for Commander damage. Flying, Shadow, Fear, and Trample are all useful ways to get in for damage, even if the opponent has potential blockers, they might not count. If your Voltron is big enough to try for the win you might try Mandate of Abaddon, this can easily let you one shot someone if Teysa's power is high enough (and nobody is retaliating vs you). You could also try Promise of Loyalty, this clears out almost all the creatures while also preventing the survivors from coming after you.

Not sure why I didn't think of it earlier, but despite people making fun of it Grave Betrayal seems like it'd have some synergy with your Commander, not only do you get the 1/1, you'd also get their creature!

Howl from Beyond and Endless Scream are cool.

Dauthi Embrace is good

I personally like Reiver Demon

More people should be playing Void

I found Karn, Silver Golem to be very useful in a black deck to kill artifacts.

And I will always say Infiltration Lens and Glasses of Urza are underrated
