Original deck:
Farm Boy - Path to Paradise
Horsemaster - Raokan Chieftain
Implemented suggestion (not to be considered for Metashaker):
- Crystal Flowers replace Collosi
Both cards play well, but CF is the stronger addition to the deck. It comes into play quicker and achieves roughly the same (deals with bigger threats). In comparison collosi only really shine against removal like hellfire/crackthorn/etc, but I suggest you try both set-ups and determine, which works better for you. :)
Good variation (not to be considered for Metashaker):
Oradrim Templars replace Sagami Warriors
This is another pretty close call. SW shines as an early dash against (counter-)rush and it can resist Fireballs, Windsoldiers, Wood/Water Elementals, etc. . It does, however, require another forest to play into the PtP setup, which he can only share with Rebel Glider. While the Templar is a bit more squishy and less mobile... he doesn't suffer from this land problem and packs bigger punch.
I am still unable to say which of the two is better.
If you keep the SW in the deck list, make sure to open with mountain first (followed by forest) rather than what I did in the video. That way you can dash closer to your enemy, which is especially handy if he counter rushes or landblocks you.

Added a video for your viewing pleasure.
Gift of Rakoa has great synergy in this deck.
I made a deck using the same synergy yesterday.
Here’s my deck

Sample:
I like the Oradrim templar! Slightly more squishy than the SW, but much better landwise and more punch. Not sure about the Yak though. While it is another buff, it lacks the mobility of the Glider, which can be decisive in landlock matches.
+1, This deck is really well thought out, i made a variant of his deck, with the new salmon card, templar and 2 CF and 1 sky anemone, really fun to play. Thanks for the inspiration
My new version, I cut Templar and Long-horned Yak for Salmon and Sky Anemone.
