Help Choosing Commander for Izzet "Control"

My goal is pretty simple: I want an izzet deck that plays a lot of draw go, is just loaded up on card draw and interaction, and wins through a [[twincast loop]] with [[Ral, Strom Conduit]] or [[Reiterate]] lines. Part of the problem is I really want to avoid storm turns and avoid the deck just being a generic turbo deck.

I have a list of the core that I think the deck would have, and have left 33% of the deck to fit with whatever commander I end up picking. I think a successful commander will either provide a good way to get a lot of mana so I can hold things up more effectively, or help me draw cards to get to the ramp and interaction I need to hold things up.

Some current contenders:

[[Jori En, Ruin Diver]]: not super flashy, solid card draw engine.

[[Galazeth, Prismari]]: makes a lot of mana, although with artifact makers kind of just becomes storm.

[[Veyran, Voice of Duality]]: generically good for the magecraft creatures.

[[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]]: "i promise no curiosity," the deck. But it is nice to draw a bunch of cards and blast things down.

Current list attached! Please let me know your thoughts! Thank you!
