Need help feeding the GY

So, I'm running a Karador, Ghost Chieftan (I'm using double brackets, but it links to a deck.) deck. The idea is, basically, creatures with ETB or on-death effects to exploit, particularly green ramp. The rest is mass removal. However, I find that it's a bit slow. What I really need to do is fill my graveyard as early as possible, without being dependent on boardstate for a wipe.
Dredge seems good at this, but there's only a dozen or so cards with that mechanic, and most of them are pretty expensive to be considered for the theme of "first few turns setup".
Are there any other cards good for this sort of thing?
To sum up, what I'm looking for, ideally, is this- -Cheap-Dumps cards either from the hand or library into the GY-Black, White or Green
the easiest way to solve the double brackets thing is (bracket) text you want: I.e. card name (bracket)(Parenthesis) deck or card URL (Parentheses) you also might not be doing all the card's words in capitals, which is how it gets recognized.
also known as [ Esper Conscriptions ] ( http://tapped out.net/ mtg-decks / esper-conscriptions /) minus the spaces equals
something that can destory land/retrace card + Dakmor Salvage + Life from the Loam is a great combo.

You could also use Survival of the Fittest and Fauna Shaman , provided you can afford them. Jarad's Orders is another option.

Isochron Scepter

Not entirely practical, but it works with most cheap removal too.

Hermit Druid is a great way to fill up the GY, with or without basics (btw, if you run no basics, this card becomes a huge target. Also, Greater Good and Tortured Existence can do some work (especially with dredge).

You linked the deck because you spelled the card's name wrong.
Karador, Ghost Chieftain (you missed the last "i")
What budget do you have? Entomb and Buried Alive are the go-to graveyard feeders, but Entomb is a little out of reach for some players.
There are also options like Corpse Connoisseur and Morality Shift . Some of them are more expensive in terms of mana, and others are riskier to use.
