There are even more than this. Here is a LINK that will show them all along with how each one works from EDHREC.

Buried Alive seems like it would be super effective here allowing you to play specific creatures at your end step with your Commander.

Viscera Seer is a great sac outlet.

I don’t feel like Smothering Abomination is that great because of the CMC and limited times it is usable. Phyrexian Altar would be more efficient.

Birthing Pod seems like it would be pretty good as a tutor.

Attrition is good too.

I think that should be good for now. I don’t really know what your budget looks like and I don’t know the total direction you are trying to really go. More than happy to go back and forth about it.

The spell is removed before the damage trigger is added to the stack, do you would need cast triggers. One thing you can do other than special actions is activate mana abilities. This includes things like Ashnod's Altar/Phyrexian Altar, so you can get Death triggers into the mix.

Including a few recursion resources allows one to benefit from the death-triggers of certain creatures even more. Some great examples you could consider on that front would be cards like Athreos, God of Passage, Celestine, the Living Saint, Liesa, Forgotten Archangel, Luminous Broodmoth and Sun Titan. Including Drivnod, Carnage Dominus increases the amount of death triggers even more.

Recursion options provides more incentive to include cards that make death happen as it were, to profit from sacrifices. This could include cards like Ashnod's Altar, Attrition, Hell's Caretaker, Phyrexian Altar, Priest of Forgotten Gods or Warren Soultrader.

Have fun with this brew!

I think there may be a few issues with the combos you are proposing.

Blood Artist + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar does not combo as Gravecrawler requires you to control a zombie to be cast from the graveyard and Blood Artist is a vampire.

Nantuko Husk/Phyrexian Ghoul/Carrion Feeder + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar also does not combo. In this instance you can continually sac and re-cast Gravecrawler but this will not trigger the abilities of Nantuko Husk/Phyrexian Ghoul/Carrion Feeder (they require their own sacrifice).

One last cut suggestion - Phyrexian Altar. You've got both Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar, I'm not sure you need both, and in a deck like yours Ashnod's Altar might be the better pick.

If you're interested in some combos, I think you might like Gravecrawler, this is very easy to go infinite with Warren Soultrader or Phyrexian Altar, but it also works with Pitiless Plunderer, then you just need anything that cares about casting creatures (Bontu's Monument, Aetherflux Reservoir), creatures ETBing, or creatures dying, and you've got a fair bit that meets those requirements. If you've got Mikaeus you'd also end up with infinite mana since you'll only need to reanimate it every other time. It also works with your Yawgmoth, and any other sac outlets you might have. When I checked you've got 3 Zombies atm, but I don't think I use all that many in the deck I use Gravecrawler as a combo piece in, you'd mostly want either Mikaeus or Warren out with it. Maybe you'd need a few more to really make it shine?

Since you've got some big mana stuff, maybe good old Razaketh, the Foulblooded? If you can resolve him you should just win on the spot, and he plays very well with stuff like your Kormus Bell, Cabal Coffers, and any Rituals (like Dark Ritual). I just love using him in my Golgari deck, 8 mana is steep but I usually reanimate him somehow.

I feel like your deck is very good at making the opponents' creatures dead, yes? Maybe Revel in Riches to just win off of 1 card and what you're doing anyways?

This deck looks like a lot of fun!
