Cards that work nicely with Damia and with your dredge theme might be: Null Brooch, Null Profusion, Awaken the Erstwhile, Cabal Conditioning, Recycle, Manabond, Demonic Collusion, Splendid Reclamation, Empty the Pits.

juishjackhammer it is to make sure the opponent can't let my cards enter the battlefield tapped plus there is 1 card, Empty the Pits that give me creatures on an instant speed, but they do come in tapped, so it would be nice to surprise my opponent who is attacking for example.

V1.1 - Cannibalizing other decks to flesh mine out

Out

Ashenmoor Liege, Shattergang Brothers, Fell Shepherd, Walker of the Grove, Plague Boiler, Jar of Eyeballs, Vile Requiem, Empty the Pits, Rough / Tumble

In

Karametra's Acolyte - Green devotion mana dork. Xenagos, God of Revels - Generally great, explosive charges Balefire Dragon - Psuedo-board clear, can pump with Xenagos, God of Revels. Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger - Psuedo-rap, board control Bow of Nylea - Attacking death touch tokens are way more threatening, can't chunk block them. Devotion to green. Cultivate - Ramp is good. Ranger's Path - Ramp is still good. Into the Wilds - Semi draw, semi ramp, top of library manipulation. Xenagos, the Reveler - Ramp, tokens, whats not to like? Death's Presence - A bit win more, but re-using the stats from stacked tokens can be great.

Really solid deck, was fun testing against my zombie tribal. You seem to get a lot of cards in the graveyard fast so you may like Empty the Pits for token generation

Cool deck! Could a Delve mechanic help close out the game? Maybe Empty the Pits, Temporal Trespass, or Tasigur, the Golden Fang?

Chats the only 2 cuts I think you should perhaps reconsider are Discovery / Dispersal (early game this card can dig in your deck a bit to help find land while also supplying your grave with cards for Empty the Pits + Rise from the Tides . In addition the second half is decent late game to bounce peoples higher costed cards) and Forbidden Alchemy (fills up your grave again while also helping you find the card you need, can cast again with flashback instant speed).

In terms of cuts I think Brain in a Jar and Diregraf Colossus are on the chopping block simply because unless they are played early game the deck does not feel the benefit when they are drawn.

maybe consider Endless Ranks of the Dead instead of Empty the Pits.
