Have you considered Font of Agonies? This will give you a way to benefit from paying life beyond just casting spells.
With so many spells with Graveyard interaction your strategy is vulnerable to graveyard hate. Can't do much about Bojuka Bog or Calamity's Wake, but Leyline of the Void and Rest in Peace can be taken out with Revoke Existence.
Also, I would recommend Taborax, Hope's Demise. With all the Clerics you are looking to sacrifice this could just as easily fill your hand and get you enough +1/+1 counters to allow the Lifelink to recover the lifeloss. In fact, I would recommend steadily replacing your non-Demon creatures with other Demons. This includes, but is not limited to, Blade of the Oni, Dream Devourer and Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire.
One other card you may want to consider is Mirror Entity. Not only will it count as a Demon for Liliana's Contract, but if someone hits your Shadowborn Apostles with a damage or -1/-1 boardwipe it's activated ability can save it.
I hope this helps, thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting.

zapyourtumor Some really great suggestions here! I absolutely love Phyrexian Tower and Spymaster's Vault. Those additions open up some really fun early game interactions! I feel like I'll need at least one Bojuka Bog in the sideboard. If the primary color for Wastewood Verge weren't I could see myself running it, but more of deck requires to cast. The reason I like Darkbore Pathway Flip is because the main thing I care about is having on board and untapped mana on turn 3. Darkbore Pathway Flip has no check to entering untapped and lets me choose what color I need based on what else is in my hand.
I have taken a look through hollowvine and crabvine looking for inspiration while building this list, but I'm aiming for something a little different with this deck. I can certainly see that those decks have the ability to cheat Vengevine out a little bit faster, but they rely on the randomness of mill and looting. The mantra I had going through my head putting this list together was "Every strat looks great until your opponent top decks every piece of removal they could possibly ask for". So if everything were to die, how well can you re-establish? Tenacious recurrence is what I want. I wanna kill my own stuff and bring it back so often that removal can have plenty of targets but still feel dead in my opponents hand.

Insidious roots has been one of my pet cards since it released so always nice to see more decks with it. Some initial impressions I get:
Manabase is not quite optimal. Pathway lands are not necessary in a fetchland format. Checklands and fastlands are alright if you are worried about your life total, but vergelands are a bit better now. for BG the primary color is G which isn't the best but it is still better than checklands (Wastewood Verge). Golgari rot farm is just straight up bad, the only time I run one is a single copy in Wight decks in order to bounce urza's saga to my hand to replay it. Lastly, you probably want some utility lands to tutor with wight or lands that are just good in general. Spymaster's Vault and Phyrexian Tower come to mind. If you increase wight count then Bojuka Bog.
I would do -2 cemetery -1 marsh -1 pathway -3 rot farm -1 temple garden +2 verdant catacombs +1 forest +1 godless shrine +2 wastewood verge +1 Phyrexian Tower +1 Spymaster's Vault
Now about the deck itself. Buried alive is a really slow card where just using it for value isn't enough usually. It is much better when you are using it to tutor some sort of combo or if you have reanimation spells in your deck. I don't think it is the right choice for this deck.
About roots, it might be possible to be an aggressive deck with roots as a backup grindy plan but I still dont think Vengevine is very good in this shell. You can't consistently discard it or mill it over (and as I said buried aliving for vengevine is not enough payoff and slow), so its way worse than in crabvine or hollowvine or preban bridgevine decks.
Interaction wise I think the deck wants maindeck Thoughtseize but maybe you don't need it. Also Fatal Push. Then you can bring in duress from sb in relevant matchups. All in all I'm not really sure what to suggest because right now the deck feels a bit in the middle of a few things, and I think it could become much more streamlined and efficient depending on how you decide to change it. Like you could move more towards an aggressive rootvine deck with 4 vengevines, looting, and more stuff like that. Or you could go from 2->4 wights, maybe urza's saga, and play a more midrange gameplan. Or you could run stitcher's supplier and chthonian nightmare. Lots of directions to take it.

I think I'm pretty alright on the GY hate between Farewell / Kaya's Guile / Bojuka Bog, but perhaps I should give Gisa a try, she seems fun. Have you played it yourself?
I should mention I also have a Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker deck which is VERY aristocrats so I am trying to keep this deck away from that style of gameplay so they have a distinct feel from each other.
Oh I just found your list, nice one! I have a question, do find Rev, Tithe Extractor strong given the fact she doesn't specify you can spend mana as if any color?
legendofa on "Unbeatable" card combo, or so …

Somewhere in the depths of my profile, I have a theoretical combo that's something like 20 cards that I specifically made to be as "you can't lose the game" as possible, and people still poked holes in it.

How often do you transform Rona or see graveyard hate? Pestilence effects work with the back side to give you an out for your reanimation targets if people start spamming Bojuka Bog or whatever.

I forgot to mention this in the above post, but Archdruid's Charm is also grave hate because it can grab your Bojuka Bog at instant speed. Card does so much work.
Anyway here's a list of lands worth taking a look at. Main reason for this second post.
Maelstrom of the Spirit Dragon
Horizon of Progress Taps for literally any mana (even colorless since it says "mana of any type" instead of "mana of any color"), can ramp you (!!!!), and can draw you a card in a pinch. Super good.
First two are for ramp/dragon stuff respectively. Last 4 all make your mana base stronger and more consistent. Also, when The World Tree comes online, all your lands that hurt you (cracking fetches, Ancient Tomb, Mana Confluence, Horizon of Progress, etc will no longer hurt you. They will now have the new ability "add one mana of any color" and you can pick that ability so that the lands don't deal damage to you.

Fair enough. I was thinking about grabbing value like Accursed Duneyard, Bojuka Bog, Crypt of Agadeem and Geier Reach Sanitarium
I see the Canyon Slough and the Fluctuator. How do you feel about Ash Barrens, Polluted Mire and Smoldering Crater?
