One of my bigger disappointments with Commander Legends 2 is that they brought back the myriad mechanic and did next to nothing with it. It synergizes with tokens but no cards interacted with tokens. It synergizes with sacrifice effects but none let you sacrifice the extra copies. It puts cards onto the battlefield but there are no ETB effects to synergize with the blink draft theme. Myriad fit into a bunch of niches but virtually no myriad cards actually fit into any of those niches. I wanted to see what I could do with the Myriad mechanic to show what I mean.

I think Restoration Angel creates infinite ETB and Leave the battlefield effect with Steelclad Guardian.
Likewise, Mirrorclad Cavalier seems way to strong to copy every aura. It probably should copy only one and only trigger once per turn.
That may be why gave triggers for only dealing damage. I think some of your ETB effects may need to be a bit weaker, or they should only have the effect when attacking so it doesn't get out of hand.
Other than the ETB effects, the other cards seem fine.

Not that you're wrong but felidar guardian (or the icewind stalwart card it was based on) already does that for less mana. It's just one of those effects that can be broken if the number of such cards in the game is greater than one. As we already have more than one and we in fact have cheaper versions, I don't think that creating a new one causes harm.
The Guardian is definitely too swingy, just by the volume of flicker triggers it creates in a 3-4 player game.
Most of the rest of them are close to fine, but etb and dies triggers on these are disproportionately very strong. In a 4 player game, it is likely that you are consistently going to have an opponent you can attack to trigger myriad without losing your creature, so thr etb/dies triggers become more akin to double attack triggers, and a creature that effectively says "creature 2 treasures when you attack" is a lot stronger than a creature that says "create a treasure when this etbs"
Many of these are cool. Simple critiques I could give are that Ancestral Summoner would be cooler if it was cheap and defensive (tokens get +0/+2). Another cool one would be having Righteousness built in like Jareth, Leonine Titan. For tokens obviously it would have to be more expensive, but certainly worth it for that effect.
Mirrorclad Cavalier wants to the be most appealing, but sadly aura are such a liability being a 2-for-1 domain influence loss against removal. Cool that it includes equipments. I think it wants a cooler name for sure, such as Mirrormoon Cavalier.
Mill one is boring. The Horde is OP and a little less creative than it could be. Turning creatures into Zombies would be neat. And like [Other Zombies can't attack alone]—instead of Menace. Hag Coven is shoto -con- porisu too much life to pay.
Anything Kobold really wants to cost 0. Wants to have synergy with Eater of Virtue now. If you could do that, with everything else it's doing somehow, that would be a lot cooler.
Bubear would be cooler as a Battle Strain compliment. And also costing 1R.
The dragon would be cooler if it was legendary, had "Legends rule doesn't apply to ~ during the combat phase"; and maybe created 5 treasures instead. Also if it costs 1 more. Maybe even 7 treasure tokens. Then you have a Red Griselbrand.
Greenseeker putting cards into the graveyard is no bueno. It would be cooler if you could gain 1 life instead.
Huntleader is OP. And probably not as creative as it wants to be. It would be cooler if it could recruit non-Dragons by some means. Take them as its own. On some Elvish Piper tune then.
