Book Devourer
Creature — Beast
Trample
Whenever Book Devourer deals combat damage to a player, you may discard all the cards in your hand. If you do, draw that many cards.

Hey DeinoStinkus, thanks for the recommendations. I'm not a huge fan of Book Devourer and won't be including it in the deck. I just personally feel I can do better things for six mana.
I must admit though, I didn't even consider Traumatize. Shoving that much value into the graveyard to boost Rielle could have its uses. Could also potentially give me targets for Mizzix's Mastery and Spelltwine.
I'm undecided on Aqueous Form. While it does allow Rielle get in for commander damage, this isn't exactly my gameplan with her. It's also why I'm running Rogue's Passage and not a bunch of spells that make Rielle unblockable. If it happens, great, but my primary focus is winning via mass mill or lab man/Jace.

play cards like Old-Growth Dryads to give your opponents lands, then use Meloku the Clouded Mirror to return all of your lands to your hand, then just Armageddon lol
Book Devourer in modern?

Tilonalli's Summoner -> Master of Waves --- Make tokens more efficiently
Book Devourer -> Fact or Fiction --- Cute, but it's really slow and expensive
Stalking Vengeance and Bane of Bala Ged -> Saheeli, Sublime Artificer and Chasm Skulker --- Too many expensive 7 drops that get killed before they can do anything. Bring the curve down and add more token production
Surveyor's Scope -> Manifold Insights --- I've always wanted to try this one, and more draw will help more than ramp that often does nothing.

Hey BasicBrett Thx for the comments. Yeah sorry about the Rix Maadi Reveler . I think Book Devourer is a good wheel effect. I have been considering Pull from Tomorrow but currenly only have one copy of that currently[IDK why] but is needed more in a different deck.

Might suggest Dragon Mage or Book Devourer instead

I would add more repeatable or a full 7 card draw via Elemental Bond , Kavu Lair , Mind's Eye , Magus of the Wheel , Dragon Mage , Book Devourer or Masked Admirers .
I also would go only 36 lands and add more ways to grab or put lands onto the battlefield. Walking Atlas , Terrain Generator , Wood Elves , Yavimaya Granger , Dawntreader Elk , Sakura-Tribe Elder , Fertilid (pairs nicely with Retreat to Kazandu ), Ondu Giant , Ranging Raptors , or Veteran Explorer are my go-tos depending on what I need.
Also Yeva, Nature's Herald would be great for flashing in Nikya to tap your (now) 2x producing lands and drop a threat/blocker.
I know a few of my suggestions are non-creature but Nikya will not always be on the battlefield. Hope something helps!
