Smeagol, Helpful Guide
Legendary Creature — Halfling Horror
At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died under your control this turn, the Ring tempts you. (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. Tokens enter the graveyard before they cease to exist.)
Whenever the Ring tempts you, target opponent reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card. Put that card onto the battlefield tapped under your control and the rest into their graveyard.

Hi there, thank you for reaching out. I hope my suggestions will be helpful, but here are some things I noticed when I took a look at your deck:
-
I know that your commander can steal opponents' lands, but I think you are kind of low on your own land count. Personally, I would suggest bumping up to 35-36, especially since your average cmc is closer to 3.
-
I think you can cut Voracious Fell Beast all together, or replace it with something like Fleshbag Marauder, Plaguecrafter, or Merciless Executioner for a cheaper version of a similar effect.
-
Gnawing Vermin can likely be replaced by a ramp spell like Three Visits, Nature's Lore, Farseek, or Rampant Growth. Its effect isn't super impactful, even as a sacrifice target.
-
You can probably swap out Fall of Gil-galad and Oath of the Grey Host for a couple more effects that let you sacrifice your own creatures like Ashnod's Altar, Plumb the Forbidden, Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, or Phyrexian Altar, depending on your budget.
-
I would recommend swapping out Rampaging Brontodon with Tireless Provisioner, Scute Swarm, or Tireless Tracker. All are lower on the mana curve, and still work with the landfall stuff you want to do.
-
Depending on your budget, you can likely swap Butcher of Malakir out for Bastion of Remembrance, Poison-Tip Archer, Grave Pact, or Dictate of Erebos. The enchantments are a bit more resistant to removal and board wipes than creatures, and all options are lower on your mana curve to come down sooner.
If you haven't already, I would recommend checking out EDHREC's page on Smeagol, Helpful Guide, here are the pages for a Sacrifice themed deck and a more Landfall focused deck. These pages can give you an idea of which effects overlap between the two strats, and what might be within your budget.
I hope these suggestions were helpful.

Gollum's Final Trap
Instant - Trap
If you control at least six cards you don't own, you may pay rather than paying this spell's mana cost.
Search your library for a creature with Deathtouch and put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. Until end of turn, attacking creatures you don't control lose all of their abilities. The ring tempts you.
I decided to disassemble Chatterfang to make place for not one, but two new Golgari lists: Smeagol, Helpful Guide and Shelob, Child of Ungoliant. This card would allow me to combine these two cards in a deck.
Give us a commander that would make you disassemble any deck of yours to build it.
