Growth-chamber Guardian?

Growth chamber guardian is not a bad plan, its a 2 mana creature you can pump up turn 3 (3 mana) and sacrifice later for your search outlets.

Have you looked at "Fauna Shaman"? it serves both your creature and tutor needs (it can fetch biomancer on its own and later be sacrificed to grab another).

what are your thoughts on "rite of replication"?

Instant speed copy effects might be better than "Clone" (as you can reserve mana for counterspells, and create a copy on opponents turn) there are some really nice ones for three mana

Polymorphous Rush (the kicker will allow multiple copies)
Fated Intuition
Cackling Counterpart (this has flashback)

And as mentioned earlier , a kicked "Rite of replication" can win you the game on the spot.

a keyword search for "defender", 2 mana creatures. reveals a bunch on blue and green creatures that either mana ramp or draw cards. Since your game plan is an alternate win condition, you have the freedom of choosing creatures that complete trade damage for defense.

all those cards are really nice, thanks for the suggestions but its is supposed to be a pioneer deck, and as competitive as possible (while being abudget deck if possible).
The Cackling Counterpart, Rite of Replication fauna shaman etc, would be options if it wasn't from Innistrad
clone play in the curve for adding copies as much as growth-Chamber Guardian (heck this one is a curve-Boss)

Thought, thanks for the help for the Ratio and tips.

From a probabilities perspective I have four pieces of advice:
https://stattrek.com/online-calculator/hypergeometric.aspx

First, Increase your land count to 22. That should get you your third mana on Turn 3. This will allow you to strip out 2 of your 6 1-mana "card advantage" spells.

Second, since your deck requires "biovisionary" to be on the battlefield, you need a super cheap and efficient way to dig through your library for it. something like "Incubation // Incongruity" can do that for you. that spell can replace your other 4 card draw cantrips (1 mana spells)

Third, It appears that "prime Speaker Vannifar" and "neoform" are your backup plan to getting biovisionary on the field. However, making that work is going to require 8-10 2-mana creatures in your deck. that would necessitate a lot of changes.

As an alternative, take a look at "Nissa, Steward of elements"
The +2 will dig through your deck to find things you need
The +0 will put creatures on the battlefield for free (speeding you up and avoiding counterspells)
The -6 could even function as a backup win condition.

Fourth,
Other than the artifact you don't really have a use for the extra mana granted via "plasm capture". If you have larger bulk card draw effects (letting you consistently play multiple spells every turn) it would be great, but you dont have that right now. downgrade it to a cheaper mana version that can be used defensively against aggro decks.

as a template.
4x neoform (or Incubation // Incongruity)
4x Biomancer
12x clone effects
8-10 2cmc defensive creatures
8-10 defensive spells
22 lands

that should work pretty good. Even better if you can include scry effects and keep everything under 3 mana.
