Burning Inquiry at R makes everyone draw 3 cards then randomly discard 3 from the hand. Minds Aglow is an extra Prosperity that can allow all players pay in mana to draw cards.
A 0 echo cost with a opponent benefit but probably won’t take it due to Xyris and you can get up to 9 snakes
You win either way
I certainly missed that one! Though assuming opponent didn't draw, I'm not sure if a 6/6 is impacting enough to be in the deck. I will add it in as an option.

To note it has trample probably the most important keyword for commander in the damaging area
Anyway should be hard to resist the draw when the hand size gets low for each opponent even when Xyris is in play
If going the token engine route, Devour creatures could make use of the snake tokens as fodder while also working with Warstorm Surge or Pandemonium. Bloodspore Thrinax - This would work as another buff option. Dragon Broodmother - It'll make a token each upkeep and saccing other tokens would make some beefy flier. Mycoloth - It would be another token engine. Thromok the Insatiable - A couple of tokens would make it a really big beater.
This thread is for ideas on how to utilize Xyris's versatility and political ploy.

Possible deck theme are:
Wheels/Mutual draws
Handsize/mana lock down
Damage doublers
Token theme
Snake tribal
Obviously the bigger Xyris is, the stronger his trigger would be. With set up, you might end the game with a single wheel/Prosperity.

In decks with a lot of wheels, I like to have some graveyard interaction. Things like

chasm skulker for the tokens catergory
While you have memory jar there’s also the magus version of it
Nin, the Pain Artist will not only kill opponents creatures you will get a ton of snakes
There’s one wheel missed and that’s Incendiary Command
Folio of Fancies is a nice way to create plenty of snakes
You did involve you draw so Niv-Mizzet, parun and niv-Mizzet, the firemind
horn of greed for group draw
And from all thr cards on your list Teferi's Puzzle Box is not there?

I'm not sure if there is some fun cards to play on Leviathan tribal. Whelming Wave and Slinn Voda, The Rising Deep? Although that would hurt your snake tokens.
