Sekki, Ghost Piñata

I usually never comment on decks, but I would like to thank OP for the excellent primer and everyone in the comments for card suggestions :)
A couple of my own suggestions: Have you tried taking a look at Scythe of the Wretched? It helps keeping Sekki around and is really good with fight spells. But it is especially powerfull with Lure type of effects (You reanimate all creatures that die the same turn, if they received damage by a creature with the scythe).
Rootweaver Druid is also a decent option and usually doesn't generate hate/threat in this type of deck. People tend to agree to tutor for the lands, due to the obscurity and mana cost of Sekki.

You Shall Block My Creatures!

Elsdragon is definitely an interesting commander. I love the designs of commanders with weird but still useful effects like this. It makes the game so interesting!
Scythe of the Wretched and Jangling Automaton are some really great finds!
I feel like I recommend this card all the time, but Genesis Chamber can help a lot with giving opponents creatures. Mogg Infestation and Varchild's War-Riders should totally be in the main deck, too!

Scythe of the Wretched seems like it'd be super fun here

Tetsuo, Imperial Champion

Tetsuo is definitely an interesting one. I was really hoping he'd be one of the retold legends and am really glad to see he's back.
Unscythe and Scythe of the Wretched are both fantastic recommendations. I feel like the high mana/equip cost of the equipment in a Tetsuo deck would be a bit of a problem, though, so any cost reducers like Etherium Sculptor or equip-cheats like Brass Squire would probably be worth looking through. (I see this deck already has Sculptor and a few others, I'm just making a general statement.)

For Gisa, yes. "Dies" is short for "going from the battlefield to the graveyard", and Gisa, Glorious Resurrector replaces the event "a creature an opponent controls would go from the battlefield to the graveyard." If Karn, Silver Golem has turned something into a creature and it would die, that's an event Gisa's first ability can replace, so the card will go to exile. It won't be returned by the second ability because that ability specifies "creature cards".
For Scythe in your specific example, it depends. Kiku, Night's Flower's activated ability doesn't interact with Scythe of the Wretched because it makes the creature deal damage to itself, but Scythe wants the equipped creature (here, Kiku) to have dealt the damage. If the creature dies in combat with Kiku then it will work fine. The other card will be returned to the battlefield because Scythe doesn't care whether it's an actual creature card.

Trying to figure out if a non-creature artifact will be exiled with Gisa, Glorious Resurrector if I use Karn, Silver Golem to make it a creature and then kill it with a Kiku, Night's Flower for example. Same kind of thing if Karn makes the artifact a creature and they die to Kiku equipped with Scythe of the Wretched.

Unfortunately CaptainToll, Scythe of the Wretched is just not quite old enough for me to include in this deck. Mirrodin was the first non-core set to use the first iteration of the modern border style. It's kind of a weird limitation but I'm only using the old-borders found in sets from Scourge back.
I love Crypt Rats though - I might have to see if I can room for it!
