Candles of Leng
Artifact
(4), Tap: Reveal the top card of your library. If it has the same name as a card in your graveyard, put it into your graveyard. Otherwise, draw a card.

"Unless something weird happens, the card that’s drawn will be the card that was revealed."

I like that you removed the red from this and went with Aminatou, the Fateshifter .
Not sure how competitive you want to make this but here are some cards to think about:
Also you might want to look into the possibility of snow lands and Scrying Sheets

Stax on top of stax, that's intense. I'm a fan of the Mana Web + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth salt in the wound synergy.
Temple of the False God probably deserves a spot somewhere.
Candles of Leng could probably get swapped with Arcane Encyclopedia for cheaper draw. Sunset Pyramid is cool too but I imagine things slow down pretty quick and 3 turns may be a deal breaker for this much stax.

Candles of Leng really only ever will draw you a card, maybe Jalum Tome or Arcane Encyclopedia would fill the slot better? drawing a card for 4 mana is pretty steep, there are cheaper ways.

Candles of Leng seems pretty good in a Commander setting.
Carnage Altar and Culling Dais seem really good with all the fodder you'll have for them.
Browbeat is one of my favorite red draw spells.
Coercive Portal could be fun, especially since your commander is indestructible.
Chandra Ablaze also has a good draw ability.
Liar's Pendulum is so much fun.
Solemn Simulacrum is ramp, draw, and fodder all in one.
Combustible Gearhulk, Aggressive Mining, Endbringer, Farsight Mask, Illuminated Folio, Mind's Eye, The Immortal Sun, Vanquisher's Banner, Magus of the Wheel, Wheel of Fate, and Wheel of Fortune all seem like solid draw effects.

Comments/Suggestions:
- Mindcrank - keep in mind that things like Underground River or Phyrexian Arena also trigger Mindcrank. Mwahaha
- Spelltwine - instead of or in addition to Memory Plunder. Not instant speed, but two spells rather than just one.
- Mastermind's Acquisition - the official commander rules are a little fuzzy on bringing cards in from outside the game. I believe they say to handle it on a playgroup by playgroup basis, so just check with your opponents before you start
- Silumgar's Command, Ruinous Path, or Hero's Downfall can help with removal
You also have no sort of board wipe or wrath. Something like a cycled Decree of Pain would miss most of your high-toughness dudes or it could be cast normally if needed. Tragic Slip is an EDH staple and gets around indestructible.
Things you could possibly remove:
- Living Wall - I feel like you can do better than 4 mana for a 0/6 (Like Guardians of Meletis for example, which you already have), though the regenerate is nice.
- Forgotten Creation - what benefit do you get from discarding your hand? Is there a card that deals damage to your opponents when you do? If there's nothing like that, Forgotten Creation isn't contributing much. I'd feel like you'll be able to achieve delirium fairly easily
- Kefnet's Monument and Bontu's Monument - keep an eye on your black to blue creature ratio and your creature to non-creature ratio to see if you should remove one or both of these
- Meekstone - currently about 1/3 of your creatures have power 3 or greater so keep an eye on this
- Swarm Intelligence - lots of mana when you have other ways of copying spells. Though this is an enchantment. Hmm.
- Candles of Leng - Why not just Staff of Nin or something instead?
- Soul Net - doesn't trigger off of things being put from a library into the graveyard

Now, if you topdecked a Candles of Leng during your first draw step, that would be a first-turn kill. Get you some Candles in this deck!

I would definitely put some kind of wrath in here, if not WoG then Fumigate or Rout.
The Candles of Leng for card draw is an interesting idea, I didn't think of that. However, I would recommend using Jayemdae Tome, Staff of Nin, or Farsight Mask instead. The first one has the same effect as the candles without revealing the card, and the other two are card draw that doesn't require mana.
