Young Pyromancer
Creature — Human Shaman
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, create a 1/1 red Elemental token.

Spell_Slam Good point about Young Pyromancer, it's left over from when I first made the deck when there were fewer Chandras and more space for instants and sorceries. And thank you for the suggestion!

Not an EDH player, but I felt inspired to do a quick search and I hope it's not too embarrassing... I focused mostly, but not exclusively, on 1 power creatures for max synergy:
-
Faerie Miscreant (I think the copies will see each other if you stack triggers correctly)
-
Goblin Instigator and the likes
-
Double Suture Priest seems worth it?
-
Double Esper Sentinel triggers certainly worth it
-
Young Pyromancer and Murmuring Mystic might get outta hand quickly if you choose to play nonpermanent spells, but maybe too inconsistent
-
Defiler of Faith seems good, I believe the cost reduction ability stacks??? but not 100% sure
happy brewing

Young Pyromancer perhaps? But maybe you don't play enough instants or sorceries to justify a slot.
+1 from me.

The nontoken clause is really only being used once or twice a set at the most, because edicts are, in general, the weakest form of removal. The strongest edict without that clause was Liliana of the Veil, and she was only in control or midrange shells that were designed to kill everything and strip the opponent of resources. These same sets have had Extract a Confession which is sorcery and requires evidence to be the stronger version, Zoyowa Lava-Tongue, Tithing Blade Flip,Vraska's Fall, Voracious Fell Beast, Pyretic Prankster Flip, and Braids, Arisen Nightmare.
If they absolutely have to make free spells, I'm glad they have a real cost so you can't Flare turn 1 off a Khalni Garden or get a free spell with any of the long list of Young Pyromancer effects.

Young Pyromancer has always been in Pioneer.
Just because a card is prominent in Modern, that doesn’t mean it’s not used in other formats.
When I started playing Standard, it was in. I had it in the first deck I ever built.

Kykar kicks ass (Suggestions needed!) (Budget)

As a general addition, it always helps to keep your win condition in consideration when deciding on what cards you want to use in a deck.
Looking at it as is, I'd say you primary goal is to storm out your board with tokens form the likes of Young Pyromancer, Third Path Iconoclast and Kykar, Wind's Fury themselves, using the spirits Kykar gives you to help fuel a storm off.
This in mind, I think you'd actually want at least another full-board haste granter like Rising of the Day so you have an easier time swinging out when you go through a turn building a board state, and a few more 1 mana red cantrips like Expedite

Kinda wondering how you actually win with Kylox, Visionary Inventor? Sure, you can make sac fodder with token makers like Young Pyromancer and/or steal effects, but what do you expect to flip into with your seven mana commander? Most big burn spells in EDH have X costs, and extra turns don't do that much if you don't have something else going on after sacrificing the world.

Of course MtG is not study material to brush up on other cultures, but it is a point of contact for the uninitiated. I know the term Shaman through Magic first, and the only reason I heard the term Druid before is because of Asterix.
I don't think the anger is about trying to prevent people getting hurt, but more about a fictional escape from the real world being creatively stumped by people taking personal offense of your enjoyment. And now the game has to give up part of its established identity for it, and your argument why is: "If you really want to gain sympathy for or learn about cultures that includes practices of shamanism, MTG isn't the way to go about learning that."? That goes both ways, right, so if we can accept that MtG is not the place to look for real world representation, then so can the people who object to the word "Shaman" in the game. It feels like Magic loses out on design space because of arbitrary reasons, because real world people unable to dissociate from the fictional characters in front of them, and chosing to take personal offense instead. I'm not WotC, but I would feel bad to lose part of my creation to cater to that.
In today's world it's a financial risk to offend people though. I understand that, from the motivation of the continued existence of the game, changes like these are probably inevitable. I might be personally effected by the next one and look back on my words with a whole new understanding. The issue is complex, and I don't think it's progress to stop talking about it and to avoid everything altogether by exclusion in the future.
So to get back on topic, if the types have to be discontinued, maybe an Elementalist type could be introduced to replace them. That woul probably cover the fantasy base of their powers. Both types work closely with Elementals already, like Tatyova, Steward of Tides or Young Pyromancer, so making that the new green base spellcaster would fit. It would be fun to have a creature with "Elemental Elementalist" in the typeline :P
