Rite of Consumption
Sorcery
As an additional cost to play Rite of Consumption, sacrifice a creature.
Rite of Consumption deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature's power to target player. You gain life equal to the damage dealt this way.

This looks super fun, great job! You have quite a few spells that target your stuff, so why not give Season of Growth a shot? Also, this seems like a great deck to include Rite of Consumption. And finally, for an unusual pick, Ruxa, Patient Professor has some serious synergy with your commander.

To address this primer specifically:
"This is my Commander deck with a focus on utilizing the high power of the Commander to trigger effects that scale with a creature's power. The deck strategy revolves around four main themes:"
- This is a good capture. The first sentence is a little unwieldy, but that's a style point rather than a content point.
Token Generation: The deck includes cards that can generate tokens based on the power of a creature. Examples include Fungal Sprouting and Ghoulcaller Gisa.
- I count five cards that create tokens, and one of them doesn't create scaling tokens. In my opinion, four cards isn't a "main theme."
Card Draw: There are cards that allow the player to draw cards equal to a creature's power, such as Disciple of Bolas and Momentous Fall.
- This is an okay comment. While it ties into the power scaling, the act of drawing isn't a main theme. It's card advantage, but it doesn't rely on drawing the way Queza, Augur of Agonies does.
Power/Toughness Manipulation: Some cards create creatures whose power and/or toughness are based on the power of another creature. For example, Miming Slime creates an ooze token with power and toughness equal to the power of the creature with the greatest power among creatures you control.
- This comment is somewhat inaccurate. It gets the closest to the core "power matters" theme, but P/T manipulation as I interpret it isn't present. P/T isn't being manipulated, just tracked. The rest of this point is redundant with the first "main theme."
Life Gain/Loss: Some cards in the deck, such as Essence Harvest and Rite of Consumption, can cause a player to gain or lose life equal to a creature's power.
- This is a fine capture, if somewhat underdeveloped.
This deck also has a good amount of recursion and removal cards, along with cheap ramp to ensure that the commander can come out as early as turn 4. For instance, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Hell's Caretaker can bring creatures back from the graveyard, and Beast Within and Sever the Bloodline can deal with problematic permanents on the opponent's side of the field. For ramp, the deck includes staples like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and a suite of mana dorks (Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves, Fyndhorn Elves) and land fetch cards (Sakura-Tribe Elder, Wayfarer's Bauble).
- The formatting in this section is good, but Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord's ability is misinterpreted. Again, the substance is kind of missing, basically saying "These are cards that are in this deck" without describing how or when to use them. What is a "problematic permanent" for this deck? What creatures would you want to recur?

Saw an update, wanted to check it out. One point I have is that in the description, you mention winning through commander damage with Soul's Fire, Rite of Consumption, etc. Commander damage is only combat damage; noncombat damage like that won't count. That's not a reason to take these cards out of the deck, since they're still great in this sort of deck. They're just not really commander damage.
Keep up the good work!

Dead_Blue_ I definitely think Apostle's Blessing is a strong choice, especially as a sideboard option against Chalice of the Void to swap out Disciple of the Vault, and it has the added benefit of being especially strong in the current multicolor-piled meta. I don't know that I quite understand Rite of Consumption, though. I get the idea behind suggesting it, but in most cases I'd much rather have a main-field body like Disciple of the Vault or Zulaport Cutthroat that acts as a latent combo piece until the last piece resolves than a sorcery-speed payoff.
I've added both to the maybeboard. I'll likely put Apostle's Blessing in the sideboard (possibly over the mana-intensive Murderous Rider).
Thank you for the suggestions!

Rite of Consumption, Tend the Pests, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, Feed the Pack
Tend the Pests especially because its an instant that can react to an opponents removal.
If you need to bring the price down you have a couple $5 lands that could be replaced easily. Basics or even cheap guildgates work in a two color deck.
Fractal Harness to add counters.

I second the idea of looking into a sacrifice-matters strategy. It's a good archetype for Rakdos that can be played on a low budget in casual settings. In my deck, Sacrifice in Flame, I make use of free sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Carrion Feeder to get value out of sacrificing things, especially if those things are actually my opponent's creatures stolen via Act of Treason effects like Kari Zev's Expertise, Claim the Firstborn, or Bloody Betrayal. You can also sac for damage with Thud, Rite of Consumption, and other Flings, something that makes big cards with downside like Abyssal Persecutor, Desecration Demon, and Goldnight Castigator much better without needing a Harmless Offering or the like. As you can see, demons often take a starring role in such decks and from what you have here, it does look like you enjoy demons. The tribe isn't super well supported, but you could take a look at Raphael, Fiendish Savior or Liliana's Contract.

Ok so this deck is really cool, and I don't feel like dogging on it too much, but i feel like there are a ton of wasted slots here. I get the need to push damage, but isn't Ragged Veins just an awful way to kill an opponent? I do understand the usage, to flash in on a creature about to get absolutely pummeled by a Souleater. But can't you just do the same with Apostle's Blessing, Rite of Consumption, or better yet Gods Willing? Idk, it just kinda gets on my nerves. Also, if Trespassing Souleater is intended to roleplay as a lifesink, then why not just use Blood Celebrant? It's quite cheap, and can filter mana if things get hairy. Also, the lack of card draw and playsets in a combo deck really doesn't sit right with me. Possibly try to make nessessary cuts to make the deck more consistent overall. Also, for the love of god, please cut Scoured Barrens for Silverquill Campus for the long-game.
