Information

TL;DR Ramp, fix, and play big threats :)

Seek Power and Amber Acolyte both provide much needed mana fixing. Trail Maker also provides fixing, but with the added benefit of ramp. Obviously, he is extremely fragile, and dies to snowball, but his primary function is to fix for us.
4x Torch, 3x Vanquish, and 4x Kairos' Choice are the deck's removal suite. Kairos' Choice can also be used to dodge spot removal or board wipes. You can also use it to get another Heart of the Vault trigger. I run 1 copy of Ancient Lore because 26 power +4 Seek Power Amber Acolyte lets curve out. I am considering -1 Acolyte and +1 Ancient Lore.
Like every other 3 color deck, we run some merchants. Pearl Abbey Smuggler and East AnnexSmuggler can fetch our market cards.
Sword of Unity is great on 6, especially if you can stick it on the absolute beast that is Worldbearer Behemoth. It goes well on anyone, though. The more units, the better. Harsh Rule is good for killing units. Bore is decent vs armory, mill, ramp decks that utilize the ramp attachments... It is a versatile card. Personally, I always prefer to run power in the market, because it makes your games more consistent in terms of sticking your top-end threats. Because of that, we run 1x Praxis Insignia. Finally, our market also has a copy of Sol's Rest. Who knows if it is just a win-more card in this deck. I love casting it, though :)
Back to our maindeck;
Icaria, the Liberator is a 2-of top end unit. We get to 7 power pretty easily and frequently, but the influence requirement is a tad restrictive. Finally, we run one of this set's new sites: Xulta Arcanum. It's fun, it protects iself, it ramps you, it generates advantage. Fun stuff. Leave feedback on whatever.

YellowTernal Eternal Version: 1.47.6
Do you think this deck still wants to run Vanquish?
Wabunen Eternal Version: 1.47.6
I think 2 copies of Pristine Light and 1 copy of Defiance would be better
matschi Eternal Version: 1.47.4
Praxis Insignia in your market must be a mistake, it should be Banner for obvious reasons
Gandalf Edited Eternal Version: 1.47.3
I think you're missing a trick, why have Disjunction (you have no relics to retrieve) when you could use Prideleader in market instead? The only thing you can retrieve with it is Sword of Unity, and it's a pretty neat trick, is that what you had in mind or removal of the other players stuff?
Wabunen Eternal Version: 1.47.3
It was for retrieval as well, but warleader is definitely a possible option as well. I've made a few edits. Once I'm satisfied with how the deck runs, I'll update it.
