I think it fits your parameters. -1 I draw a card, -1 I draw a card, +2 we all draw a card, -1 I draw a card.
Considering some cards listed don't seem to fit like Shaman of the Great Hunt costs 4 to draw, or Garruk's Packleader which relies on ETB of another creature.
There's a lot of creatures and enchantments that could work in conjunction with ETB commanders like Brago, King Eternal and Roon of the Hidden Realm which would qualify, although you said you eliminated ETB. Under these commanders cards like Mulldrifter, Wall of Omens, Unquestioned Authority, Traveler's Cloak, Sea Gate Oracle, Merchant of Secrets, etc, provide consistent card draw, although I guess you have to draw the line somewhere. No pun intended.
The most important part is that this lists do a great service for us EDH players. Thank you and keep it up. I'm currently working on a Selvala, Explorer Returned and I like your take on it. It's a bit different than the other Selvala decks on here, but very effective. I'm debating on which way I want to take the deck, because she gives you a lot of options.

Okay thanks! With regards for baby Jace, because it's a negative ability that draws you a card, it's not actually that reliable for steady card draw imo.
Etb creatures are more of a notable interaction in blink decks because of the commander rather than being intrinsically powerful, does that make sense?
As for the shaman, it draws for each big creature, so all you need is one other big creature and you can draw two cards for four mana.
For the packleader, yes it's etb, but it's pure card advantage for a creature based deck.
Thanks for the comments and glad I could help!

We've got Elemental Bond, now. It's worked pretty well for me, basically Packleader in enchantment form.

Hmm, I wonder why that and Harvester of Souls aren't in here... I'll fix that, thanks!

Is Puresteel Paladin's trigger not easy enough to trigger?

meowndabout, thank you for your suggestions! Those will be added in addition to 21 other similar cards that I somehow missed as soon as tappedout reverts to allowing more than 200 cards in the mainboard of decks, even if checkmarked as prototype. (Interesting tidbit: I limited my gatherer search in the description to only find cards that had "whenever" and either "cast" or "enters", and of the cards that showed up that would be good for this list, about half were already in the list. So somehow, I knew to include cards that trigger off of casting a type of spell or a type of permanent entering the battlefield, but I missed a ton of them.)

Seems a little inconsistent that Ongoing Investigation is considered gold due to the green symbol in its activated ability, but Bringer of the Blue Dawn is filed under blue despite the symbols in its text.
Anyway, this is a really great list! Thanks for making all of these.

Yeah I agree. I may have to submit a fix request to tappedout
And thank you for the kind words! I'm glad to be helpful

vance's blasting cannons , Recycle, Null Profusion, Arch of Orazca, Zameck Guildmage, Sage of Fables, Mindless Automaton, Arcane Spyglass, Etched Oracle, Sphinx of Magosi
Since you're not including repeatable land tutors, why are you including repeatable explore effects? They only ever filter your draws or draw lands. If you are including them, Path of Discovery is another repeatable explore.
I'm not sure what your feelings on the monarch mechanic are, but it could be considered a repeatable form of draw.

ThallionDarkshine, thanks for the comment! I have recently updated my list, adding a couple of your suggestions! Also, I agree that explore isn't actually card draw, so I've dropped those cards as well. Lastly, yes, Monarch is good here too, so I'll add that.
I actually don't know if I just now got your message or if I never read it when you posted it, but I ended up doing all these updates before reading your comment, so we were definitely on the same page for a lot of your suggestions lol Great minds think alike haha

How about Armistice under your white list? Thanks for making this list!

PacoBob, Armistice is just too inefficient for the deck at 5 mana for a single card draw.
And I'm glad that it has been helpful to you :)

Oh duh. Should've paid closer attention to your deck description. Sorry!
