Spirit of the Night is an obvious cut. It's only a 6/5 with a mass of keywords for 9 mana. Why?

What you're looking for is two themes: Graveyard matters and "go tall", i.e. power matters. For the graveyard stuff, we use milling (Traumatize, Dreamborn Muse) and looting (Monastery Siege, Greater Good) and a few miscellaneous cards that put things in the graveyard (Mulch) with things that want to be in the graveyard. For go tall, your goal is to combine abilities that depend on a creature's power (Kami of Whispered Hopes, Prime Speaker Zegana) with high-power creatures (Yargle and Multani, Lord of Extinction).

Have you considered Invisible Stalker as a potential win condition?

Thanks assassinklaus! Glad you like the deck :D

I never thought to use cost increasing spells, but I could give them a try! I especially like Monastery Siege.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I love this deck, I used this same Ebony Owl Netsuke + Howling Mine + Kami of the Crescent Moon combo an age ago and always got a big groan from my brother when I pulled out the deck :P

Have you considered controlling the cost of your opponent's spells to compound the difficulty of emptying their hand with cards like Monastery Siege, Dovin, Hand of Control, Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentor, God-Pharaoh's Statue or even Void Winnower just for a laugh? That last one doesn't really offer anything competitively but making spells more expensive or unplayable means fewer potential counters needed or more available to counter creatures. Not a super efficient strategy, I like what you have already but it's an idea. :)

Portent, Crawlspace, Web of Inertia, Dream Tides, War Tax, Glacial Chasm, Monastery Siege, Cryptic Command, Extract, Portcullis, Dissipation Field, Overburden, Archmage Ascension, Frozen Aether, Reins of Power, Rapid Hybridization, Siren's Call, Cyclonic Rift, Mission Briefing, Reality Shift, and Resculpt are just a few you could potentially use. You can very easily go creatureless if you want to. You just have to lean on different win conditions and use cards like Ward of Bones /etc.

Grind on Engineering Victory, or just Tinkering?

Interesting deck!!
Some of your cards seem really uninspiring to topdeck... ornithopter, shuko...
Seems like these cards would be playable in a jhoira weatherlight captain deck but not sure why they help you here.
What us bEDH?
Some ideas for your consideration-
Mask of Memory, Infiltration Lens, Monastery Siege, Daretti, Scrap Savant, Thrill of Possibility, Buried Ruin, Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa, Goggles of Night, Cathartic Reunion, and in general maybe a little more interaction like Chaos Warp, Resculpt.
Just some thoughts, cheers and have fun!!

Legendary Enchantment Creature - Sorcerer

Vigilance, Ward {5}

Whenever a spell or ability you control causes you to choose one or more modes, you may choose an additional mode. The same mode may be chosen as the additional choice.

2/5

Yes, amongst many other things, when you cast that Monastery Siege, you may choose Khans and Dragons. And so on.

Maybe not what TheOfficialCreator had in mind, but don't you think that satisfied the challenge??

Also, I put the creature type as Sorcerer rather than wizard, because I think that should be a real thing.

Make another legendary enchantment creature.
