Praxis Gauntlet [Dusk Road]

This deck is based on Awaken, My Masters! with changes that improve quality of opening hand and ramp faster than your opponent. Opening hand is critical for Gauntlet on high difficulty, while ramping faster means out-racing aggro opponents. I removed all excessive cost cards that relied on the Firemaw but made opening hands unplayable, added more relics to improve odds of using Monolith Guardian ability and getting ramp within first 3 turns.

UPDATE: As of 2017/12/29, the deck is able to run ~70% complete Gauntlet runs. I have also updated the deck to be all-out Gauntlet, with Sideboard containing Versus alternatives. See end of the description for Sideboard explanation.

The starting strategy is to to produce a 4-drop on 3rd turn. This deck has no 1-drop other than Seek Power so play depleted Banners and Seats on turn 1. Your starting hand should feature Power Stone or Sauropod Wrangler or Trail Maker. I find Power Stone preferrable because people have less relic than unit removal, and it unlocks the potential of Monolith Guardian. Trail Maker should only be used for influence fix since it is very easy to kill.

Between all 4-drops, I prefer to start with Crimson Firemaw, then Sandstorm Titan when needed to shut down multiple flying opponents. Monolith Guardian is a valid 4-drop only if you managed to play a Power Stone.

Eventually you'll survive until Great-Kiln Titan that speeds up the tempo in your favor, and usually seals the game. It helps that Xenan Obelisk doubles its effect exactly at the same power level. Since I have increased ratio of relics, chances of doing direct damage have improved.

Copper Conduit is a last resort in early game but absolutely shines in the late game, especially if cost-cut by the Firemaw. It can be thrown against opponent to force him to sacrifice his tempo to soak the damage with no regret, since the card has no other effect worth keeping.

I have also added 4x Bait since Gauntlet considers it at par with deadly units, while it makes opponents think twice before dropping Harsh Rule or Lightning Storm without a second removal at hand. I have been able to win many Gauntlet stall games just by attacking with this card, and Xenan Obelisk improves on the speed of burning your opponent.

This deck still falls short against control and removal. However Bait helps very little against mass removals.

VERSUS SIDEBOARD:
2x Groundbreaker vs 2x Bait - Despite prohibitive influence cost that makes it a bad 4-drop in your opening hand, the card is a life saver (pun intended) against Xenan Devout decks, and covers your defense. With Xenan Obelisk and Xenan Initiation you can have scary damage output if you get the double damage effect, too.
1x Novaquake Titan vs 1x Bait - With Crimson Firemaw, Xenan Obelisk and all mana ramp in the deck, bonding the Novaquake Titan is even easier this time around. It is a horrible opening hand card, so some consistency is sacrificed. Increased ratio of relics also means more cards drawn upon bond.
2x Bait + 0-1x Trail Maker + 0-1x Sauropod Wrangler vs 2-4x Purify - Praxis is poor on removal, so skipping on Purify is a calculated risk. If you need more consistency at the cost of slow ramp (~10% less chance of 4-drop on 3rd turn) you can afford to silence and kill most of the opposing wincons.
