This is a very cool shell! I made a number of changes to my local version, and although I wouldn't call it super competitive, it's very fun to play :) Just to share:

-3 Call the Ancients
-4 Disciplinary Studies
-3 Storm Lynx
-4 Cirso's Choice
-4 Dawnwalker
-3 Curiox's Hunt

+4 Permafrost
+4 Equivocate
+2 Torgov's Trading Post
+3 Trials and Tribulations
+3 Sodi the Metamorph
+3 Discover Talents

Torgov's Trading Post is just better than Call the Ancients, since it has so much additional potential upside. At a minimum, it usually gains you effective health, since your opponent spends a turn attacking it instead of you. There's even some surprising synergy between the Explorers the deck is already running, allowing recursion of Ask for Directions, which also buffs Jufi, Sprite Seer!

Disciplinary Studies has been disappointing to me, especially since I discovered that the card your opponent draws with its Contract effect is not affected by the tax.

Permafrost and Trials and Tribulations just feel more flexible and better at controlling aggro than Storm Lynx and Cirso's Choice. Curiox's Hunt is a card I desparately want to play, but it's just a too slow and costly; Equivocate is also hard not to play in Elysian colors. Without the Killer effect, Dawnwalker also feels a lot less impressive, so I dropped in Sodi the Metamorph because she is so thematic :)

Discover Talents is probably the all-star addition here, since it can tutor for your Dragon's Eyes from Jufi or big Curiox! Once you have a bunch of them in your deck, it often only takes one to get a chain going and refill your entire hand, so having extra effective hits is very nice. It also can just grab you what you need in a pinch.

I messed with the Market as well; I probably made it less fun :P

Wow... I honestly appreciate the love that you gave the deck! Thanks for taking your time and writing all the changes and decisions down, it makes it so much more comprehensible from where you are coming.
Honestly i was thinking about Torgov's Trading Post but more so to trade with Disciplinary Studies rather than Call the Ancients (this would also help with getting even more angry Treeants (Titans).
But i'am always really afraid of messing up my power gain so i ditched it. It could be that you are definitely right and it would bring a lot more value and options to the table than Disciplinary Studies but it will also be a lot more expensive which means even more cards are in the deck that makes it impossible for me to test out/play it.
I don't think you made it less fun, some of it's synergies got stripped but i think that's not necessarily bad; Changing Curiox's Hunt, Cirso's Choice and Dawnwalker seem very reasonable to me. I love the idea with Sodi the Metamorph! Because she is such a strong card draw when you have the influence for her, so she is a plus unarguably.

If you want feel free to share your market changes man. I'am 100% up for ideas!

Oh no, it's unfortunate that you miss cards! But the deck looks interesting, reminds me of old Elysian Killer decks but now they also have access to a million Dragon Eyes.

Jup, i really think it's funny how this deck has "no draw" but does have it with the invoke and all the Dragon's Eye that will get shuffled in the deck, it's hilarious.
Curiox's Hunt just enables cards like Cirso, the Great Glutton or even Dawnwalker so much. It's really sad, i feel like i'am missing out on a fun deck that could be made so much more valuable and fun in higher ranked as well.
Because im not sure but i think a huge drawback could be not getting any of the Dragon's Eye, so being rather stuck on either an empty hand or one that's pretty much not useful enough...
Anyways really happy that you like some of the decks iam pumping out! I do appreciate comments and feedback a lot! :)

Oh thanks for sharing! You're so kind, i just like to talk about decks and I'm always curious how people approach them or come up with different decks. Additionally i think everyone who posts something on this site is always welcome for feedback and comments, we're not just gamers, we're people after all ;)). Oh btw when you mentioned not finding the Dragon's Eye i was immediately thinking of Garden of Omens, you'd have to be in fire too but that's maybe a solid way to find those with Resurface.
