Love the deck. Creative commanders deserve creative solutions, and you have brilliantly delivered. Love the list and its oddity. Easy +1.
Here's some stray pickings that came to mind:
Spiteful Banditry — It poops out money. He might like it.
Magmatic Galleon — Probably slow, but certainly on theme. If I'm correct, all of the goblins sacked on blocks are separate triggers?
Arena of Glory — It's just good. Likely you do not need it. Never bad though.
Thus is all from me. Thank you for your raillery!

RufusTheGrufus — Commander being a subjective format, we naturally approach the game differently. As such, you have inclusions I wouldn't prioritize, and likely vise versa if I were to construct this thing. It's always tedious to suggest cuts, but I can offer suggestions with that in mind.
My general philosophy in commander deck-building is that every card must do something individually significant without relying on other pieces, including the commander, to be relevant.
Following that line of thought, Ajani's Chosen is a rather small body that can swarm the board, but four mana is a lot to invest in something that doesn't want to attack or block. Archon of Sun's Grace is a far stronger stat line, but is excluded through personal preference.
Funnily enough, pretty much everything in the "Finishers" category is outside my playstyle as well. Particuluarly Bastion of Remembrance, Mirkwood Bats, and Grim Guardian seem to need a lot to get going. However, I know you want the deck to have a power cap.
The anthems are interesting, however plain unblockability to end the game might just be better. I'd only include it because I think the card is neat; it's probably not optimal either way.
For some other stray shots: Mindwrack Harpy is a little low power and Palantir of Orthanc isn't an enchantment, but you seem to like that one a fair amount. Definitely play what you like.
I don't know of this helps. Either way, I implore you to take these with grains of salt.

RufusTheGrufus - I always love thorough reviews. Greatly appreciated!
I'll admit for Spelunking, I'm typically more meticulous when suggesting a card. It was one of the few that doesn't appear on you're maybeboard, so I thought I'd leastwise bring it up.
As for the Overlord of the Balemurk, it's just fantastic. But you're right that whenever I cast it for its impending cost, I give up on it ever being relevant past that point. I include it because it's a self-milling cantrip that is both a creature and enchantment in other zones, giving it more value. It just happens to synergize with a lot.
One last point: Familiar Ground is a very cool consideration. Never heard of the card. I tend away from alpha strike inclusions as well, but it also just lets your commander attack with impunity. You should put it back in. It's old, niche, and sweet.

Love the list! Excellent elaboration, dynamic gameplan, easy +1.
I would highly recommend an Overlord of the Balemurk. It has been creeping into more of my lists and always feels fantastic.
Spelunking is one that I deliberate whenever I consider its inclusion, but its simply far more explosive than its cost suggests. It at least replaces itself and at most synergizes wildly with cards you are already playing.
I see that Ripples of Undeath. You know its potential. If you're contentedly casting Cemetery Tampering, you'll like this one.
Welp, that's all from me! Happy casting!
