Hello, I am currently trying to build a Tasigur, the Golden Fang reanimator deck that wins using Eldritch Evolution into Razaketh, the Foulblooded and from there wins with the scepter reversal combo. I am trying to streamline the deck down to mostly just a UB manabase (there will of course need to be a few green sources), but I am wondering how many (reasonably competitive) ways there are to generate several green mana in one turn without many green sources. If there aren't, are there any effects like eldritch evolution outside of green (or I may just have to deal with entomb > animate dead). Thanks!
Idk about "free", but any type of mana rock that creates any color of mana might be be decent. There are also lands that can convert mana or create any color or mana.
There are some artifacts that can do it, like chromatic lantern, but they are all hard to rely on since there are relative few of them and you likely dont want to add all (now you need a two card combo instead of a one card ditto). I think the best solution is the most classical one, namely fetch+duals. It also have the bonus of working better than normal with your commander.

Tangleroot is an option if you are actually playing creature spells. Otherwise, it's mana rocks like Coalition Relic, Gilded Lotus, Chromatic Lantern, etc. that can tap for U or B and allow you to also get G the few times you need it.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

As far as other "Eldritch Evolution" you could use Birthing Pod and Prime Speaker Vannifar.
You'd need to go Tasigur, the Golden Fang -> Rune-Scarred Demon, and then you can tutor for either Dream's Grip, Emerald Charm, Twiddle, to untap either Birthing Pod or Prime Speaker Vannifar.
Allowing you to then sacrifice into Razaketh, the Foulblooded.

Crystalline Crawler - this one could do GREAT work with the scepter/reversal combo.
Hope this helps.
Dread Return into Razaketh is also good.
Entomb + Animate dead is fine.
I also like Pattern of Rebirth on a creature that sacrifices itself. Are you playing any?
Also make sure to play the filter lands.

You can run mana rocks if you want, or five-color lands like City of Brass. (Or just run Opulent Palace if you don't mind taplands.)
