Largely inspired by this list : https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/QT7xp1awiAw/dota-displays-of-the-ancients
Broken deck is broken.
Pearl Abbey Smuggler is an insane replacement for
Awakened Student as it's way bigger and grant you a market access.
Ijin's Choice is really necessary to handle Sunyveil's Glimpse deck, otherwise I felt like
Safe Return is a good replacement for
Hooru Pacifier as it can protect and buff your dongers in the face of removal, and rebuy a smuggler for more cancer. Deck is very fun to play and doesn't feel even remotely fair. Enjoy !

-don't hesitate to mulligan to 6 to find all of your colors, but if you have a really good hand on the draw with 3/4 colors, a crest and early plays you can take the risk.
-hold your cargos as long as you can, they cost 0 anyway. It helps you find your 4 colors and grows your Alessi/Smuggler.
-you don't need the have the combo of Call the Ancients/Torgov's Trading Post + Crownwatch Press-Gang/Rise to the Challenge to keep your hand. Sometimes you get it and it's insane, sometimes you just play Smuggler + Alessi + 3 cargos on turn 2 and ride them to victory.
-don't ever use Display of Instinct as a removal against Glimpse combo, this card is their kryptonite. Counter the Glimpse with it.
-Desert Marshal can be fetched by Crownwatch Press-Gang if you don't have Sentinels in your deck, or if you really have to. Notable uses are breaking an Icaria aegis or ruining a Haunting Scream.
