Minn, Wily Illusionist
Legendary Creature — Gnome Wizard
Whenever you draw your second card each turn, create a 1/1 blue Illusion creature token with "This creature gets +1/+0 for each other Illusion you control."
Whenever an Illusion you control dies (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, tokens are put into the graveyard before they cease to exist), you may put a permanent card with converted mana cost/mana value less than or equal to that creature's power from your hand onto the battlefield.

Taida I love all those options. I do want Minn, Wily Illusionist in the mainboard but I have yet to obtain a copy. Mystic Remora, I only own 2 copies so far and they're in other decks at the moment but will certainly get one for here as well eventually.
Thanks for the other suggestions and the upvote!!

Maybe you can include Unctus, Grand Metatect so you can dig even deeper. Midnight Clock can also help both being a mana rock and letting you draw quite a lot of cards. I also saw you have Minn, Wily Illusionist, and I think it could be in the mainboard. It cheats a lot of things into play with the illusions, and with Shorikai, Genesis Engine you draw the cards needed to trigger the ability.
Mystic Remora is also a very good card that you can consider. Although you will eventually need to sacrifice it, the card advantage it gives you is insane. If you also go for the route of mass drawing, Ominous Seas can flood the board very quickly, but you may need to include some cards to have no max hand size.
Another planeswalker that fits VERY well is Teferi, Temporal Pilgrim, and the illusions it creates are amazing with all the card draw from Shorikai, Genesis Engine.
Btw, amazing deck, I still have to upload my Shorikai deck here, but it is much less flavorful, just centered around tapping and untapping Shorikai, so I love the much more dedicated vehicle theme, it is definitely a +1.

Wizard Class powerful finisher
Leyline of Singularity unique way to decimate token/treasure/clone decks

Minn, Wily Illusionist board state maker. Can put permanents into play like lands

Tsukimi on Communism Was a Red Herring

Switched up the land base a touch to make room for Hall of Heliod's Generosity and Volatile Fault. Took out a few cards to make room for more/better ramp so now we have Thought Vessel, Gala Greeters, and Wood Elves. Found room for Esper Sentinel as we need more recurring card draw to enable effects like Minn, Wily Illusionist and Ethereal Investigator. We probably still want more ramp, but I'll see how it runs as is while I still look for a spot for Bronzebeak Foragers.
Tsukimi on (Feedback appreciated!) Tsukimi, Root's Mirror

First playtest was a lot of fun! Tricky to gage because one friend was playing a group hug Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis deck with oath of the druids out turn 2 and then two dockside extortionists came out and it got crazier from there. I also managed to get rhystic study out turn 3 and keep it out and it was a 6 player game (usually we are 4) so things got out of hand fast and Tsukimi won pretty handily. Notably smothering tithe gained me at least a clue a turn so I think they need a "first time each turn" clause on the clue production. It was like my ideal setup and should not have been possible if not for being able to make copies of dockside (not even with Tsukimi) with rhystic study out. It was in many ways a perfect game. Especially because another friend was playing a board wipe deck and I managed to draw Minn, Wily Illusionist and Bennie Bracks, Zoologist So by the time he wiped I had 10 10/10 illusions.
Other than needing to add the first time per turn clause I think it's fairly balanced as of now and a beacon for removal so we'll see how less crazy games play out.

Tried playtesting this against my Minn, Wily Illusionist EDH deck. On turn 6 or 7, I gained control of Karona, False God, attacked, then played Ixidron, effectively trapping your commander on my board. Another card in my deck would effectively do the same thing: In Too Deep. It was a bit of a slow drawn out process from there, but you may need something to destroy your commander if it gets trapped like this. Also saw after that this is meant to be a political deck, but.. just some notes.
Something like Shiny Impetus, Psychic Impetus, or Parasitic Impetus may help in situations like this, where it gets turned face down.
CopperheadCA on Jhoira, Weatherlight Legends

Playtested 3 games against my deck. Glad to see you included my commander Minn, Wily Illusionist. Found everything very expensive. I would suggest adding some lower cost legendaries. All these 4/5/6 drops you have could be switched over for 2 drops, can play twice as many in one turn to activate your commanders effect more often.
Some quick suggestions from a quick MTG search:
- Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam
- Balmor, Battlemage Captain
- Baral, Chief of Compliance
- Erayo, Soratami Ascendant Flip
- Jacob Hauken, Inspector Flip
- Jhoira, Ageless Innovator - Definitely include
- Kami of the Crescent Moon
- Rona, Herald of Invasion Flip - Definitely include
Additionally, I'd suggest some cards that react more to all the card draw (even if they aren't legendaries):
Immortalys on Card Draw Tag
1 year ago
So I just made a Jhoira, Weatherlight Legends deck, focussing on Legends (of course) with a card draw theme.
With a Card Draw theme I mean cards like Jori En, Ruin Diver, Kraum, Ludevic's Opus and Honden of Seeing Winds for straight up card draw.
Cards like Alandra, Sky Dreamer and Minn, Wily Illusionist for second card drawn each turn (I know this is a tag already).
Cards that pay of drawing lots of cards like Niv-Mizzet, Parun, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, The Locust God and Teferi, Temporal Pilgrim.
Cards that pay you off for having lots of cards in hand like Alrund, God of the Cosmos Flip, Hisoka, Minamo Sensei and Meishin, the Mind Cage.
And other cards with card draw synergies like Teferi's Ageless Insight and Jace, Wielder of Mysteries.
Also cards that grant an unlimited hand size like Nezahal, Primal Tide, Thought Vessel, Decanter of Endless Water, Wizard Class and the good old Reliquary Tower.
So how come there is no Card Draw tag yet?
