This is my Golgari sacrifice deck that pumps up my creatures through self-sacrifice with some graveyard reanimation. It also forces my opponents to sacrifice creatures, keeping their boards mostly clear for me to swing in with my buffed creatures.

I am new to Magic (about 3 months) and this is my one of my first decks. I play exclusively Commander and usually with the playgroup that taught me the game. In my playgroup this deck can win by combat damage, commander damage, or by sacrificing 2-3 of my largest creatures to Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to kill/seriously cripple the whole table at once. The last strategy has won me a few games but Jarad now draws immediate hate when he enters the battlefield.

I am looking for some suggestions for alternative wincons or to increase the deck's consistency finishing up in the late game. I have the cards in the Maybeboard but I have also have a budget of about $100 to increase the power of this deck. My meta is relatively slow and frowns upon tutored infinite combo, land destruction, infect, and extra turns (1 is ok). We usually play in a 4-6 person pods.

Thanks for any recommendations you can provide!
