you do't play enough card draw spells, drawing more cards then your opponent(s) is the most important aspect of the commander format and of playing magic in general.

Seth is right, Mind's Eye, great card for EDH. Also Rhystic Study is another great early draw mechanic. Where is Consecrated Sphinx?

Rites of Flourishing is a bad card. You don't want to help out your opponent by letting them draw. Other ways you can place 2 or more lands per turn.
