Shadow of Mortality
Creature — Avatar
If your life total is less than your starting life total, this spell costs less to cast, where X is the difference.

Looking at a rudimentary Scryfall search, I see a number of cards that could replace Autochthon Worm for effect and at a lower dollar value: Rust Goliath, Woodcaller Automaton, Ancient Stone Idol, Decimator of the Provinces, Shadow of Mortality, Thrasta, Tempest's Roar, Explosive Singularity and Volcanic Salvo are all MV 10 or higher and (as of this writing) $1 or less. The latter two are harder to fetch with your infrastructure, but have the added benefit of being other ways to potentially finish off the opponent... though the odds of surviving long enough to hardcast them seem remote.
Saving $8 only goes so far, but you know me: always looking for the monetarily cheapest execution of an idea. And I love this idea.

Yuriko, The Tiger’s Shadow

Ninjas are awesome: one of my EDH decks is a Yuriko deck that makes people "very happy". And it's a good start that you have! Some thoughts about things to add that vary in budget-friendliness:
- I like a lot of spells that you don't pay full price for, but that will hurt if Yuriko flips them. Commit / Memory, Dig Through Time, The Magic Mirror, Shadow of Mortality, and Commandeer are all, if memory serves, not so expensive price-wise and also quite powerful. (Force of Will is another classic, but I don't recommend it unless you have it because it's quite pricey!)
- Other good evasive creatures/enablers are Krydle of Baldur's Gate, Wonder, Nighthawk Scavenger, and Vampire Nighthawk. If you have one, Bitterblossom is also another great generator for nuisances.
- One of Yuriko's main tricks (or how I play her) is really being able to adjust your library on demand for maximum pain and suffering (for your opponents). Of course, Vampiric Tutor and Mystical Tutor are (expensive) classics, but Lim-Dul's Vault is a go-to I use, as is Sensei's Divining Top. For any of the instants, Isochron Scepter is great for repeatable "fun" with a lot of your stuff.
- Another option to maximize pain is any of the double-faced spell/land cards from Zendikar Rising, like Sea Gate Restoration Flip, Zof Consumption Flip, Umara Wizard Flip... not all of them are good, but they are great things to flip with Yuriko.

Yuriko (Optimized) Primer

Hi magwaaf!
I'm currently testing Shadow of Mortality in place of Draco, but I haven't officially updated the decklist yet.
As for high cmc cards in general, adding more than a few of them hurts your deck more than it improves it. The reason being that we play a very low number of lands and ramp spells, so we can't cast anything more than 6-7 mana very reliably. Although it feels awesome to flip an eldrazi titan to Yuriko's trigger, we're not casting it anytime soon, so we're better off filling our deck with "pretty high cmc but still playable" cards like Consign / Oblivion, Dig Through Time, etc.

Shadow of Mortality would fit well in here next to Draco :)
