If people are sick of reading about stuff just stop taking part. You have 100% control over what you read. Simic Ascendancy isn't going to get banned just because you didn't tell someone to shut up on the internet.
Fitting Altar of the brood for even more Konrad triggers in here could be good too, especially if you have Xathrid Necromancer and other token generators that trigger when creatures die (or leave the graveyard like Desecrated Tomb).
With enough effects that put the apostles in your hand like the aforementioned Reaping the Graves, No Rest for the Wicked and Secret Salvage something like Dark Deal could be useful, especially if you’re discarding all of the deck’s apostles, since it would essentially draw you a good 20 or more fresh cards.
If going the discard route don’t forget about Shadow of the Grave, cast it after discarding all of you apostles to get all of them back again for more triggers, and since it’s an instant you can do it after discarding to hand size on your cleanup step so long as you also discard something that will give players priority to respond to your discarding (Cheap Madness spells like Call to the Netherworld, and Big game hunter do the trick as well as cards with graveyard triggers like Kozilek, Butcher of Truth). Then suddenly your hand is gigantic again and you have go through another cleanup step and then discard all the apostles again for even more triggers (At least I’m pretty sure that’s how that would work).

StaffShirei, Shizo's catetaker will get your dudes back, and I recently discovered No Rest for the Wicked which seems fun.
Midnight Reaper, Grim haruspex, and Dark Prophecy can keep the cards coming.

If you use Thrumming Stone to chain all the apostles out of your library, Reaping the Graves seems like a fun inclusion if you have a free sac outlet on the battlefield like Phyrexian Altar, Ashnod’s Altar and Altar of dementia (think of the Syr Konrad mill triggers).

Well here is just a few off the top of my head for suggestions: Skullclamp, Black Market, Liliana, Dreadhorde General, Revel in Riches. Oh and Gravepact.
Oh and Cover of Darkness can be useful for all your clerics and humans and demons.
What do you get with Apostles? It's only going to be one or two cards in the deck, so pick your favorite. Potential Demon Targets:
