Cut a Deal
Sorcery
Each opponent draws a card, then you draw a card for each opponent you drew a card this way.

Surprised you're not running Folio of Fancies here? Not sure if Geier Reach Sanitarium is worth it (it's technically 3 mana to discount your mana by 3, but that is for each spell fwiw), but if you can double/triple spell after that's pretty useful. If you include Folio, you might want to throw in some X mana spells, Curse of the Swine is budget, as is Mass Manipulation, though Mass requires 4 Blue, which can't be discounted. Cut a Deal seems good, you get cards and the spell can be discounted to only W. Love Song of Night and Day is a good way to get cards/discount, the other abilities are kinda meh, but it's great if it only costs W to cast. If you don't intend to keep it around you could try Tenuous Truce, you can play it for W on any opponent's turn (after their attacking is done for turn) to get the discount, it's also situationally handy if you want to ally with someone. I think my final one is Your Temple is Under Attack, this is even modal and can be discounted to cost W, both modes can be very useful. These card draw spells also make your deck more consistent.
It's over your budget, but Standstill seems like hilarious maybe? Either you get 3 cards and -6 on your spells, or a whopping -9 to casts if opponents draw.
I love Mass Diminish if you can net a discount on it, you can also use it as an Instant, which is busted beyond words IMHO, it's the only limitation on one of the best at what it does. I can't believe they made it last until your next turn, so you get less 'value' if you play it on an opponent's turn, but any other opponents going before you still have a sitting duck to swing at. Another Sorcery that looks a lot better as an Instant is Single Combat, if you keep your Commander you can cast on your opponent's turn, so there will be a turn cycle where nobody can do much with creatures. I think Tragic Arrogance is pretty solid as well, even without Flash it's devastating, but with it I think it's quite scary, I think it's much better than Aetherize for example. Finally, Promise of Loyalty is neat, you won't be getting swung at for awhile by what's left, and it gets a big discount potentially. While it'd sometimes be a dead effect, Visions of Duplicity seems made for your Commander, it's very easy to make that UUU to create quite a bit of chaos, and at Instant speed.

I have replaced Prosperity with Cut a Deal, since I believe that the latter card is generally superior to the former, which did increase the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.45 to 3.48, but those numbers are deceptive, since the latter card is actually more mana-efficient than is the former.

Cut a Deal limits opponents draw while increasing yours based on each opponent. In commander, opponents drawing cards can set them up with a win. Where prosperity does well is in a rare instance where Jeska's Will is in hand and you can combo.

Yes, I think Cut a Deal is better. It's lower to the ground, doesn't make your opponents draw as much, and is more cost-efficient. It also enables you to have more color flexibility with your draw.

I have a copy of Prosperity in my Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis EDH deck, but I am considering replacing that card with Cut a Deal, since I believe that the latter card is superior in the majority of situations, so what does everyone else say about that? Should I replace Prosperity with Cut a Deal?
