Goblin Warrens, Reflecting Mirror, and Armor Thrull are dead-on perfect. Gauntlets of Chaos fits, I think--it's best to interpret it as your right hand and someone else's right hand. Subdue is also up there. Most of the others are strong honorable mentions.
I don't want to discount your work (and thank you so much for putting in the time and effort!), but if the criteria get too loose, there's a bunch of cards that can be interpreted as some kind of first-person perspective, with the viewer at an odd angle to the action. Like Life Chisel, I'm pretty sure Knife Dude is standing just in front and to the right of the viewer. That's why I'm giving preference to visible hands coming for the lower corners--the best interpretation is that the viewer is part of the action.

@legendofa I think I have a better grasp on what you’re looking for now. I don’t want to spam the deck page, so I’ll share some potential candidates for the 1st person perspective compilation here.
These are a few that I don’t think qualify, but I’ll list them here anyway just in case:
•Subdue No hands, but definitely a spear coming in from F.P.P.
•Amulet of Kroog If it’s someone looking in a mirror, the card qualifies. Otherwise it’s just a view of someone else holding the amulet.
•Urza's Chalice Probably isn’t, but definitely could be someone looking at a cup they’re holding in their own hand.
•Energy Tap hand coming in, but the angle would be difficult/painful to replicate in first person.
•Venom same with this one. Hurts the wrist, but can be forced.
•Gauntlets of Chaos Not really sure what’s going on here. Bottom right gauntlet is F.P.P. accurate, but the upper left gauntlet coming in looks to be a second right hand. Mistake? Born with two right hands? You make the call.
•Life Chisel 99.999% sure it’s just a view of someone else’s arm/hand.
•Ring of Immortals This one might qualify. Looking at one’s own hand in that manner is odd, but can be done.
•Goblin Warrens That bottom right arm being gnawed on looks like it’s still attached to some poor sap.
The following should definitely qualify, unless I’m misunderstanding the criteria.

You can sacrifice multiple creatures.
The current official Oracle text for Life Chisel is clarified to be an activated ability with sacrificing a creature as the cost. Specifically, it says "Sacrifice a creature: You gain life equal to the sacrificed creature's toughness. Activate this ability only during your upkeep."
Like your example of Phyrexian Altar, it can be activated as many times as you want as long as you can pay the cost each time.

My question is can you only sacrifice one creature per upkeep with Life Chisel or can you sacrifice more then one? I know there is "a" in the text but ao does Phyrexian Altar

I've been playing with Life Chisel in my own creepy deck. I love the artwork so much and it can actually pull-off some sweet turn-arounds. It might be a great fit here too :)

I have a Tergrid build myself, and tbh, I don't run into the "Life problem" all too often. More often than not, I'm hated out by turn 6. :/ (Oh the life of a Discard Deck is a strenuous one.) However, I like the on theme method of life gain through Sangromancer , the anti-token strat of Revenge of Ravens , or the godly stacking of life gain from Life Chisel from those reanimated goodies.

Zeit fr etwas konstruktive Kritik.. in der Beschreibung steht ja das es sich um eine Sammlung handelt...
also du willst scheinbar marchesa auf kontrolle spielen. Sehr gute Wahl :) fangen wir an..
Karten die ich cutten wrde und dahinter potenzieller ersatz.
Barrage of Expendables ersatz Goblin Bombardment
Breeding Pit cool aber zu schwach. du willst ja eigentlich deine eigenen Kreaturen (oder die von gegnern) saccen.... Tokens verschwinden einfach wieder und dein Comander profitiert nicht davon.
genau wie du noch meiner Meinung nach zu viele Zauber spielst, die dir kontrolle ber einzelne Kreaturen geben. dafr sind die Entchantments einfach zu 1. Mana intensiv und 2. Mana intensiv :P mal eben berflogen und bin auf 6 gekommen. Ist natrlich stark und cool.. aber Domineering Will (spielst du auch) ist viel strker.. du kannst die Kreaturen meistens ja eh saccen und dann gehren sie dir.. auerdem ist der instant :P Reins of Power ist etwas gefhrlicher weil du dann deinen Comander auch nicht mehr kontrolierst :)
Carnage Altarcool aber zu mana intensiv. ich wrde auf die gute alte Skullclamp zurckgreifen. du hast gengend sacc outlets um die zuverlssig zu triggern... und kostet wesentlich weniger mana :)
Life Chisel cool aber zu unflexiebel.
Allgemein willst ja 1 und 1 counter auf deinen kreaturen und dein live unten halten.. sag hallo zu deiner betsten karten :P Unspeakable Symbol
sehr angenehmn das du nicht noch versuchst die komplette blaue counter Schiene mit unter zu bringen.. :)
Du wirst weder mit den Lndern noch mit deinen Mana beschleunigern auskommen (passiert mir auch immer)
habe bislang auch keine zuverlssige draw engin gefunden.. sieht aber so aus als knnte das Spa machen wenns fertig ist. Schreib mir was du von der Kritik hlst :)
