Commander Discussion / Re: How much card draw do you use?

Hey, I think it depends a lot on what your deck proposes to do. For example, on my Narset deck I only have four card-buying spells, on my Rashmi deck six, and why? At Narset, the ideal is to have control of what she will cast when she hits, you don't want to have a card with CMC 10 in your hands, at Rashmi you want to have an average of a cast magic per turn, this guarantees you to "buy" a card. So back to the initial question: What does your deck propose to do? This is what you should be looking for, not magic formulas and cabalistic numbers of card numbers for each one you should use. Another example, a friend of mine plays Yawgmoth, the deck has a single draw engine, the Yawgmoth itself, it is probably one of the strongest Yawgmoth decks that I have the misfortune to play against.
Other issues, Sensei's Divining Top is not a buying mechanism, if you have no way to shuffle your grimore to renew your top, it is a card you should not use.
Some colors are not good at buying cards, so maybe that shouldn't be your focus. Some colors, for example white decks are horrible to buy cards, so maybe it is resource management that you should focus on. This is a very subtle thing and it is difficult to learn, because sometimes we are addicted to playing mono-blue, simic or any combinations that buy many cards, so when we want to change the deck we don't change our way of thinking .
So back to the initial question: What does your deck propose to do?
Focus on that, focus on the odds that achieve your goal.
Below are some of my decks and the number of cards that have "draw" written on them.
Anya: 7 cards
Rashmi: 6 cards
Marchesa Black Rose: 8 cards
Titania: 11 cards
Narset: 4 cards
Glissa The traitor: 10 cards
Kalitas, Traitor: 6 cards
