When I first saw this commander, I had to read it twice and check the casting cost again...draw with no black or blue! Of course, she made everyone draw, but that thing can be deal with. I dont usually like "group hug" kind of cards like Howling Mine or such, but in that case, she do give you a little advantage over your opponents with the mana and life thing.
Ive chose to pack no other draw in the deck than the commander, lots of ramp but no actual draw.
-Umbral Mantle: a very, very strong card with this commander; with good timing and a little luck, this card will give you the game almost every time.
-Spirit of the Labyrinth: kind of plan B, it allow to possibly goes infinite with mana/life if Umbral Mantle is equip on Selvala, without having anyone drawing extra cards.
-City of solitude/ Grand Abolisher: really important cards in this deck, allow you to combo out in peace...
-Storm Seeker: originally printed as a response to Braingeyser, this old little gem shine again here! its a kill, and can be reccur at instant speed with reclaim or noxious revival. dont work with the mask or the spirit, but its another way to take to most out selvala's ability.
-Mana ramp: I dont want lands on the top of my library to get more out of parley, so i got both the oracle and the courser, as well as Explorer's Scope and Druidic Satchel.
Omnath and the Helix are btw a good place to dump unused mana, both can be win-con in this deck.
Sylvan Library is already such a great card in this format; combine that with the life-gain that your commander gives, and value of being able to re-order the top cards to put a non-land there, and I think it's worth making room for. If you could play a third Mirri's Guile, you would (Scroll Rack? Sensei's Divining Top?)

I love the Uba Mask idea.
Sylvan library is one of my favorite green card, won me a local tournament back in the day (that doesnt make me younger to think of it...!)but i wanted to rely only on the commander for extra draw... the top would be a good fit in this deck. i could easily replace lantern of insight with it. thx!

This deck is really fast, and so far im very happy with the result. Did some minor change on the list.
Played this deck quite a bit last night, try Storm Seeker and it worked quite well.Will put the sword of war and peace in for a similar effect.
Have use Pursuit of Knowledge quite a lot, this card is definitly a must here. looking to try Words of wilding or words of worship as another replacement effect.

A couple of different things about this deck:
-Uba Mask: one of the key card in this deck, the interaction with Selvala's ability is incredible, by untaping her multiple time during your turn, and if pair with City of Solitude or Grand Abolisher, it give a huge advantage over your opponents.
Protect it with Indomitable Archangel or Privilege Position, fetch it with Enlightened Tutor...
-Umbral Mantle: a very, very strong card with this commander; with good timing and a little luck, this card will give you the game almost every time.
-Spirit of the Labyrinth: kind of plan B, it allow to possibly goes infinite with mana/life if Umbral Mantle is equip on Selvala, without having anyone drawing extra cards.
-City of solitude/ Grand Abolisher: really important cards in this deck, allow you to combo out in peace...
