Probably doesn't fit but my Jarad deck has been using a Death's Presence + Westvale Abbey  ^Flip combo for sweeper deterrence/revenge. To be honest, most people don't notice the deterrent until it's too late. Wipe my board? Here, deal with this massive indestructible demon. Presence also helps a lot vs removal and has (for me) sprung a ton of Jarad wins.

Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip, basically a creature tutor that turns into Gaea's Cradle . Also Westvale Abbey  ^Flip for some sort of Wrath of God effect protection. Heroic Intervention and Fresh Meat can also do this but are not as low to the ground, as they take spots in your hand, a spell slot in your deck and are only good if they are in your hand at the time the Wrath effect hits.

Also noticed you have 0 answers for a Wrath of God or similar effect. Westvale Abbey  ^Flip is a good option there just as at least a stand in to buy you time to rebuild a board state. It's a land first and a creature if it needs to be, so it's low to the ground. Fresh Meat can also fill this void but since it takes up an important spell slot it is less advised.

Hanweir Militia Captain  ^Flip, Westvale Abbey  ^Flip, and Hanweir Garrison for more human tokens, it looks like you have most of the other good ones.

For human tribal, Jirina or Trynn/Silvar are probably better, but Alena/Ravos could be pretty good for a different concept. Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder is a solid alternate to Alena, and is much cheaper now that commander legends is out, so unless you have a need for that red mana, he's worth considering.

For mana, you could add more mana rocks, but it doesn't look that bad other than lots of lands come into play tapped. I tend to run basics over many tapped lands.

jakeyuki12, good points on the lands.

Reliquary Tower would be a good one to go into this deck for one of the other colorless tappers, due to all the card draw. You'll also want more basics to make use of Sword of the Animist, and I don't think you run enough currently to make decent use of that or Isolated Watchtower. Cryptic Caves is ok, but Bonders' Enclave might be better for card draw, if that's what you are wanting. Westvale Abbey  ^Flip seems very out of place here.

Thraben Doomsayer and Gather the Townsfolk can synergize well with your etb triggers. Hanweir Militia Captain  ^Flip would probably be better than Caller of the Hunt in most games. If the black tokens don’t bother you, Westvale Abbey  ^Flip can create tokens without taking a creature slot, and Castle Ardenvale can do the same for mono-white tokens.
