Information

I've been toying around with this deck in Masters and I've been doing surprisingly good with it so far (~70% winrate).

The obvious outrage is hitting Daring Pioneer and Daraka, Queensguard with Divining Rod, locking the opponent on board and in hand.
Daring Pioneer has been a big contributor to this deck's success (I might add the 4th).

Shepherd's Horn has been underperforming. I cut them down to 2 Maindeck and removed one from the market because I wanted another way to accelerate my threats into play and sometimes the lifegain is okay against aggro decks. Additionally, having too many "bad" topdecks in the late game (Power accelerants and Horn) can also be really punishing.

Trail Maker's Power fixing is actually really important, hitting TTTT and PPP in a 2 color deck is not always as easy as it sounds.

I started with multiple Equivocate but I removed most of them in favor of Unseal, which seems pretty good right now to counter decks that try to go over the top.

Is there a lack of Teacher of Humility in your meta pocket? I only see a single equivocate to answer her T2 on the draw. Also, have you considered cutting initiate/trail maker for power stone/find the way so you can run 0 units that die to hailstorm and 4 copies of hailstorm like childrolands' big Elysian deck that runs fatties and Channel the Tempest?

Sweet decklist, will try when I get home.

I think that most Teacher decks are a rather easy matchup for this deck. Even if she hits you, the only card affected is Merchant which is not a big deal.
I think Trailmaker is necessary for Power fixing and in general the Power acceleration is really important because the deck runs so many expensive cards.
I don‘t think that Hailstorm is a big impactful card against this deck (e.g. Sandstorm turn 3 and basicslly every threat doesn’t die to Hailstorm).
In my opinion it is not really possible to change the deck too drastically because you need enough targets for Rod.
