Why is Sway of the Stars on this list? I understand that it is a powerful card, but it costs 10 mana to cast, so that should limit how often it can be cast (Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, however, fully deserves to be on this list, in my mind, because of how powerful he is).

A Threateningly Good Time

Tsukimi That makes sense since they're mostly "for fun" cards. Jasper was originally going to be the commander I built around, but unfortunately for him outlaw tribal didn't seem particularly strong or consistent, so he seemed better off in the 99. He can work as another way to nab extra cards off the top of an opponent's deck since I can see myself casting their creatures off Rakdos' effect. Herigast is meant to help with that in addition to functioning as a pseudo-sac outlet with every creature I cast gaining emerge. Finally, Bazaar Trade is a semi-meme tech since I can give a stolen creature to myself with his ability to let me keep it beyond the Threaten effect. The idea is to use that on particularly powerful creatures like someone's Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur or even their commander.

The Scarab's Fist (Bracket 4)

This is the first draft, I brewed this up fairly recently, I dont even own it and the tapped out deck editor suggested a 4, I don’t play CEDH, so I don’t know what CEDH really looks like. I’m not running specific cards that fit the meta because I don’t know what the meta is.
This deck would probably do well in my pod, but in no way would it win all the time, and we do not play CEDH, but we do play high power optimised decks.
As I said in the description my pods plays a lot of interaction so I added a lot as that is the pod it is designed to play in.
The only thing that I would say looks CEDH is Thorcale / Consultation and I’m thinking of swapping that out for Labman because I don’t like the CEDH win con.
The current play pattern I tend to find in playtesting is tutoring up Consecrated Sphinx or Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur and getting a copy in turn 3/4 to then draw a new hand. Mind over Matter combos with Azami, Lady of Scrolls to deck yourself.

I wanna play Yu-Gi-Oh but WOTC doesn't let me

BirdieGirlie makes a lot of sense. I playtested the deck just to see how would it work and intended on keep iterating on it. While trying I found what you said. Not enough creatures either for Eldritch Evolution or Fauna Shaman so I will try getting more on the deck. I also found that The World Spell and Invasion of Ixalan Flip usually were very underwhelming. The latter still had some value, but it would rarely be flipped, so I want to try getting simply more draw spells. The ideal here would be to get something like Forging the Anchor is for artifacts, in general a very efficient draw spell just for something, but I don't think there is any choice. Maybe I will try some draw + scry effects. Regarding the Omniscience payoff, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur is AMAZING, so now I think the deck is just missing some other threat that is more immediately dangerous, as Worldspine Wurm does not seem to go all the way to it. Finally, dealing with removal and counters. I absolutely know that the combo is VERY reliant on Kona, Rescue Beastie living, but I want to just get some more consistent and better tuned deck first. Also, some of the best options like Veil of Summer are quite pricey and feel very bad if they get stuck in your hand without use or you draw too many. For now, I am considering including Destiny Spinner to deal with counters and also act as fodder for some of the crature searchers when not needed.

OMFG you're right, this is SO FUN!!! I've been playtesting this and have a few observations:
This deck needs more creatures. Citanul Stalwart and Fauna Shaman are your biggest MVPs. If you know of another card like Shaman, you should consider adding it it's fantastic imo. Shaman and Eldritch Evolution both require a sacrifice of a creature card and I found I was often lacking a creature to activate either ability. Stalwart and Springleaf Drum also require creatures (or artifacts) to provide you with emergency mana. If there was more material for those, this deck would be considerably faster.
I never saw The World Spell in any of my hands or draws while testing, and while it might theoretically be possible to hard cast it in a longer game, that just doesn't feel worth it to me. Reckoner Bankbuster is not a creature most of the time and that hamstrings the deck like I mentioned before. I'd get rid of both and add some combo of Jaspera Sentinel, Loam Dryad, or Saruli Caretaker. I'd also maybe get at least a couple copies of a less costed draw spell. Once you're set up with Omniscience, Harmonize is awesome, but not before, at least in my playtesting. Because you can't play it with Kona. Idk maybe I'm wrong.
Speaking ofOmniscience, for payoffs, might I suggest Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur? It's not that expensive, I'd only get one or two at most because of the no blue mana thing, and it really fits the YGO theme because it prevents your opponents from playing the game so hard! It also refills your hand so that you can keep on casting spells from your hand for free!
I've been looking for a new 60 card deck to play - maybe this will be it!!!!!!

Well, thinking of your mana leak theme,
Lose Focus is fun with replicate.
Supreme Will: Use to run this in standard to either protect or dig for your commander. Rat colony was a fun deck, just wish Tetsuko could be their commander. Confounding Riddle is just a newer version of this card as well (which you already run).
There are a few counters (2 or 3?) in recent sets that say something like, 'counter target spell unless opponent pays 2, get x small effect' Most I think cost 1U. Not sure if those would be your jam.
I think you have or are already running the best unlimited hand size cards. I will just reiterate Library of Leng. No discard phase = never discarding down no matter what you handsize is (negates something like Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur being used against you).

Kruphix EDH (looking for tips)

you should run Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur to utilize both kruphix's ramp potential and no maximum hand size ability
