Pixie Illusionist turns any creature into an unblockable combat threat by making it a Faerie, and the damage-to-draws payoff in Edric, Spymaster of Trest makes that evasion worth real card advantage. One mana at instant speed is a low enough bar that this card earns its slot wherever connecting with small creatures is the plan.

Edric, Spymaster of Trest
Edric, Spymaster of Trest rewards every creature that deals combat damage to a player with a card draw, and Pixie Illusionist makes any creature on the board unblockable for a single mana — that's a direct conversion of one blue mana into a guaranteed draw trigger.

Pixie Illusionist is a Commander card first and foremost — the effect is purpose-built for engines that care about creatures connecting, and the 100-card singleton format gives you enough redundancy-seekers to make a one-of evasion enabler worth running. In Pauper, the common card pool is deep enough in similar effects that it faces real competition, though it's at least legal and cheap. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer are competitive formats where a one-mana Faerie-type grant with no other text doesn't clear the power threshold. Play it in Commander; ignore it everywhere else.
