You could add Exquisite Blood to combo with Sanguine Bond.

Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose would also be a nice addition for a similar effect to Sanguine Bond.

Witch of the Moors could also be a fun one to add in there.

Authority of the Consuls slows opponents and helps your lifegain strategy

Fumigate is a good wipe for life gain, I would replace your Realm-Cloaked Giant

Witch of the Moors

Looks fun! I like building around Bogbrew Witch and her posse, since they're such unusual effects in Magic. Plus, wearing your opponent down by sacrificing stuff is also pretty fun - it's like winning by remote control. Having said that, I can think of a few ways you might be able to improve this build!

Witch of the Moors is a very cool way to bring stuff back, but since you only have a couple and she's a lot of mana... well, you probably can't always rely on her. Since you're running lots of ways to sacrifice guys, it might be wise to invest in little critters who can bring themselves back! Reassembling Skeleton, Persistent Specimen and Gutterbones are all solid examples, though depending on your budget, Bloodghast and Nether Traitor are probably upgrades.

Since you're trying to wear your opponent down via sacrificing little critters, there are a number of ways to ensure it happens at a good pace - Bastion of Remembrance, Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist are all classic options!

You might also prefer Vampiric Rites to Witch's Cauldron. The flavour isn't quite as appropriate, but being able to use it multiple times in one turn is bound to come up at some point. Enchantments usually seem to get blown up less frequently than artifacts in my experience, too!

The deck is more of a life gain deck than it is a control deck. You have a lot of removal, but that's all that makes it controlling.

Highest recommended card: Vile Consumption. This card is brutal in this deck if you don't have too many creatures.

Hallowed Burial is a highly underrated board wipe.

Card suggestions: Sphere of Safety, Approach of the Second Sun, Aura of Silence, Austere Command, Cleansing Nova, Damn, Darksteel Mutation, Doomskar, Epicure of Blood, Erebos's Intervention, Ghostly Prison, Infernal Grasp, Liesa, Shroud of Dusk, Narset, Parter of Veils, Propaganda, Rest in Peace, Righteous Cause, Rule of Law, Telepathy, Time Wipe, Trespasser's Curse, Utter End, Venser's Journal, Witch of the Moors

Mean/weird cards that I would probably play: AEther Barrier, Archmage Ascension, Death Match, Lightmine Field, Meishin, the Mind Cage, Overburden, Porphyry Nodes, Spreading Plague, Tainted AEther, Portcullis, Magus of the Moat, Magus of the Tabernacle, Silent Arbiter, Serene Master

*Obviously play what you want

You might like these: Marauding Blight-Priest, Vampire of the Dire Moon, Vampire Cutthroat, Speaker of the Heavens, Griffin Aerie, Indulging Patrician, Witch of the Moors, Light of Promise, Vizkopa Guildmage. These cards are neat because they weaponize your life gaining effects. Some card-draw effects might help too: Greed, Ambition's Cost, Ancient Craving.

Personally I would cut out these to make room for better cards: Soul Shepherd, Serrated Scorpion, Lone Missionary, Loxodon Restorer, Revered Unicorn, Vampire Neonate, Sunspring Expedition, Font of Vigor, Healing Salve, Alabaster Potion, Drudge Skeletons, Child of Night, Bloodhunter Bat, Blood Glutton

I found this card Witch of the Moors that could be good in here.

UPDATE 12.4.2021

CHANGES:

Syphon Mind --> Witch of the Moors . I was able to trade myself a Witch so I'm currently giving it a spin in the deck. So far I've been able to get it on the field once ad even then it was destroyed immediately so yeah, not the best first impression. Further testing is needed.

WHAT NEXT:

1. More graveyard hate is needed. I'll try to find a place for Rest in Peace or/and Samurai of the Pale Curtain in the deck.
2. Wandering Archaic  ^Flip from Strixhaven looks really interesting. If I get my hands on it I'll probably try it in here.
