Deck discussion for Karlov CMDR (MS)

This deck is obnoxious but awesome. Athreos is amazing. I have a Kambal you can have by the way.

Budget options you may not have considered: (under $1)
- Doomed Traveler/Dissenter I know the token won't trigger Athreos but cheap CMC and extra value when they die is nice. (Eagles Inquisitor does the same as Traveler for more mana)
- Orzhov Advokist. Makes it so greedy people can't attack you.
- High Priest of Penance
- Carrion Feeder. 1 mana sac outlet that gets bigger.
- Butcher of Malakir. High CMC but it is another Grave Pact effect
- Thraben Inspector. You get to (sorta) draw a card overtime it dies

Less Budget-y Cards: (Under $5)
- Vault of the Archangel. It's one of your favorites
- Teysa, Orzhov Scion. Ridiculous value sac outlet
- Elenda, the Dusk Rose. Crazy value when she dies but high cost for weak initial stats. worth considering I think if her price drops.
- Black Market. Crazy mana generation.
- Cathars' Crusade. You just start dropping giants. (Crazy synergy with Elenda as well)

High Budget eventualities:
- Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. Just plain obnoxious for everyone else.

I'm sure there is no end to value creatures at low CMCs that would allow you to extort the crap out of all of us. Just some ideas I had looking through the deck in case you hadn't thought of them.

Karlov has replaced Athreos as commander. Cards I want to supplement this list (in no particular order):

Kabira Crossroads
Seraph Sanctuary
Vault of the Archangel
Serra Ascendant
Auriok Champion
Blood Artist
Crypt Ghast
Twilight Prophet
Archangel of Thune
Lightning Greaves
Darksteel Plate
Authority of the Consuls
Bloodchief Ascension
Ashes of the Abhorrent
Spirit Loop
Anguished Unmaking
Wrath of God
Sublime Exhalation

Cards they'll likely replace are (again in no order):

Kingpin's Pet
Syndic of Tithes
Vampire Nighthawk
Phyrexian Rebirth
Planar Outburst
Bontu's Monument
Mastery of the Unseen
Moonlit Wake
Oblivion Ring
Unquestioned Authority
Vampiric Rites
and probably Capital Punishment (I want to cast it at least once first)

You can have the Ashes of the Abhorrent I have.

Karlov gets super dangerous super quick.

Thoughts:

Vona, Butcher of Magan - Seems perfect for the deck. Her ability destroys any permanent

Merciless Eviction - On colors, versatile, and as I've discovered destroy effects can be very weak when facing certain things. Also, the flavor.

Bloodbaron of Vizkopa - Potentially a turn 5 (without ramp) 10/10 flying lifelink with protection from the 2 best creature removal colors.

Erebos - Cause he is awesome
