Updated with better tutors/mana rocks I pulled from an old tribal zombie deck. Additional changes made to make it more competitive.
I think it still needs more removal and ways to deal with artifacts/enchantments, but I haven't decided what that should be. I'm also not super excited about my high end bombs, it would be nice to have win-cons that are not dependent on going infinite or forcing loss of life.
Cards removed from mainboard: Out
Orzhov Signet
Orim's Prayer
Sorin, Grim Nemesis
Palace Siege
Gilded Lotus
Angelic Accord
Crypt Ghast
Spirit Link
Disciple of Griselbrand
Azorius Guildgate
Meandering River
Cards added to mainboard:
Sol Ring
Dark Confidant
Profane Tutor
Demonic Tutor
Vampiric Tutor
Well of Lost Dreams
Talisman of Hierarchy
Arcane Signet

Spore Frog, Viscera Seer, Disciple of Griselbrand, and many others are considered staples for Meren as they turn her engine to stack experience. Spore frog is an mvp of the deck as a whole. If you have a self sac outlet, create armies with cards like Hornet Queen, and Mycoloth.
Dragon Throne of Tarkir, Overwhelming Stampede, and others like it are great win cons
Victimize, and Eternal Witness, or Golgari Findbroker is broken
One last thing, with self sac you can use horror creatures like Faceless Butcher in a way that permanently exiles the creature and is reusable in a pretty cheap manner. Basically you sac the creature before the removal effect happens, and the effect that gives it back happens before the creature is taken away leaving it permanently exiled

Dark Prophecy is solid, if you plan on taking advantage of the land untapping Font of Agonies is pretty good. i've been liking Dig Up as a casual tutor card because of the mechanic. i dont know how often you've gotten to play this deck but i feel like you need more sac outlets. Woe Strider, Carrion Feeder i've always liked Disciple of Griselbrand. that's all i got for suggestions. enjoy beledros i love my deck i made of him

After deliberating my above list of sacrifice outlets, I have removed several creatures; I removed Gnawing Zombie because Lampad of Death's Vigil is strictly better than it; I removed Gutless Ghoul because Disciple of Griselbrand is better than it in the majority of situations; I removed Skullport Merchant because it cannot sacrifice itself;, and I removed Soulreaper of Mogis and Spark Reaper because their abilities are to expensive to activate; thus, here is my new list of potential sacrifice outlets for my deck:

Which creature is the most appealing of these?

seshiro_of_the_orochi, that is an excellent card, but it requires that the stolen creature be sacrificed immediately, and it is also a one-time effect, and I am seeking a repeatable effect.
I think that I shall replace Angrath with Captivating Crew in my red/white/black deck, as that deck already has two sacrifice outlets in the form of Butcher of the Horde and Immersturm Predator, but, as for my red/green/black deck, I have actually found several cards that would work for it, which I shall compile into a list.
Sacrifice Outlets Show
That is an impressive list of creatures that sacrifice other creatures, so I now need to decide which of them I shall put into my deck; does anyone here have any suggestions?

Disciple of Griselbrand would be awesome for those decks, but it does not allow me to steal a creature from an opponent, unfortunately.
Captivating Crew is also awesome, but it does not allow me to sacrifice a creature that I take from an opponent.

Mtg_Mega_Nerds Best way I can think of going infinite with Golgari land boi is having Aetherflux Reservoir , Disciple of Griselbrand , and Corpse Dance . The lowest life total you could start the combo at is 26 and still go infinite.
