This deck uses the utility of Path to Paradise, but since there are no many creatures with Haste in the deck, it relies on Mistral Guides giving Dash. When placed near an opponent's well it can become a big threat, tossing Axe Grinders, Sky Yaks, Firebringers and Hate Seeds to your opponent's orb. Golden Aviary is not as good as before but still can be useful sometimes. If you don't think so, you can replace it with Iona's Smile for drawing Mistral Guides and Sky Yaks.
Axe Grinders, Outland Rangers and Sky Yaks are your starting creatures. If you're unlucky and have none of them in your starting hand, Oradrim Fanatic can help you.
If you have a Sky Yak in your starting hand, start with a forest - you won't need to create them anymore. Build deserts at your half of the board (for utility units - Fanatics, Wind Soldiers and Guides) and mountains at your opponent's half (for finishers - Grinders, Firebringers, Seeds). Yaks can be summoned everywhere.
Possible replacements:
1) My first version of this deck ran Shaytan Demons. I found it a bit clunky, because you also need stuff like Soul Drains along with them to support yourself. Besides, Shaytan Demon must be aggressive, meanwhile you want mountains, but not deserts to be your aggressive lands.
2) Demon Wranglers could be decent. Unfortunately there are no really good targets for them except for Sky Yaks.
3) As mentioned above, you can consider one or two copies of Iona's Smile.
4) Surprisingly, Shaytan Monstrosity can be an interesting decision and an additional finisher.
5) I refused Syland Horsemasters in favor of Oradrim Fanatics. However, they won't interfere each other.
I hope you enjoy this deck. Good luck!
