White returns small creatures, usually mana value 3 or less, from your graveyard to the battlefield. It can also occasionally return larger creatures for 4-5 mana. This is usually flavored as a burst of divine energy, renewed hope, or unexpected survival. Breath of Life, Return Triumphant, Miraculous Recovery, and Helping Hand are examples.
Black is the best at self-reanimation. It also had the most mana-efficient general-use reanimator spells, but generally needs to pay 4+ mana under current design patterns. These modern spells usually grant a significant bonus to or alongside the returned creature or can pull from any graveyard. It's also the best color at moving creature cards from graveyard to hand. The flavor here is blasphemous and/or unholy necromancy or sheer stubbornness and determination. Reanimate, Bloodsoaked Champion, Necromantic Selection, Return to Action, and Raise Dead are some examples here.
Green is the best color for returning any permanent or any card from your graveyard to your hand. It has almost no ability to return creatures directly to the battlefield, although it can return lands. Green recursion effects tend to be flavored as natural growth, historical significance, healing energy, or stockpiled supplies. Regrowth, Bygone Marvels, Elven Cache, and Reviving Melody are examples.
In combination, white-green doesn't have a lot of recursion, focusing instead on stamina, community, and life and health. Reborn Hope and Atzocan Seer are a couple of examples.
Black-green is known as one of the strongest color pairs for graveyard interaction. It can reliably return creatures to the battlefield and other cards to hand. Flavorwise, scavenging, fungal undeath, and physical resilience show up in addition to the other black and green flavors. Back for More, Golgari Findbroker, and Bloodbond March are examples here.
White-black also has a lot of creature reanimation, as well as artifacts and enchantments. The flavor is a little loose outside of its white and black components, but heretical rituals are a minor theme. Priest of Fell Rites, Graceful Restoration, and Immortal Servitude are examples.

You might want a Reviving Melody. Suture Priest works too, if you can afford the white.

If you’re constantly playing games where you draw out your deck, Laboratory Maniac and Jace, Wielder of Mysteries would be good additions. After Theros Beyond Death, Thassa's Oracle can also act similar to Lab man, and can be used earlier to win if you’ve got enough blue devotion on the field.
Depending on if you want more card draw there’s also Verduran Enchantress and Satyr Enchanter.
And if you find your commander gets attacked and rarely gets to use her -7, there are cards like Auramancer, Monk Idealist, and Reviving Melody

Darth_SavageVampire Nighthawk is incredibly good. It's similar to my cats except deathtouch with it is extremely useful since it isn't of high attack. Dissipate is good but a bit costly, although good nonetheless. Bow of Nylea is probably the best card. I honestly don't see the purpose of Ghostway.
I'm not looking for a toolbox deck, I just want to have the advantage with my deck whenever they have a way to counter-advantage (i don't know the nomenclature for this) it. I'm building my deck around anointed procession, so to have that kept in play is a major concern of mine, as many blue decks will instantly target that card. I'm looking at your deck again and Reviving Melody and Commune with the Gods seem very useful. I don't know if I'd use Eldritch Evolution though; I'm afraid to sacrifice a card unless I can get it onto the battlefield again through mummification, although it would be very useful because most of my deck is 2-4 or more mana cost.I need Anointed Procession into the battle ASAP before I get any other cards, and Eldritch Evolution only works for creatures.

As I said earlier Creeping is a bad card... Reclaim, Nature's Spiral, Hag Hedge-Mage Reviving Melody and most famous of all Eternal Witness or Noxious Revival. It's pricey but Greater Auramancy grants Shroud, this is like Hexproof except you also cant target the enchantments. Open the Vaults puts any returned cards directly into play, you don't need to recast them, it too is actually better than Creeping, even if it costs 1 mana more. That would include something ridiculous like Platinum Emperion for example, a lot of decks use the graveyard as a resource.

I missed Eternal Witness in your sideboard. I would main deck that instead of the card I mentioned, Reviving Melody, since it is also creature. Having a higher amount of creatures is necessary, I run 36 creatures which feels about right.
