Information

A deck built around the Crown of Possibilities + Ancient of the Ice Caves synergy.

The Lifesteal cards + Mask of Torment aim to help you reach 12 mana against control and midrange matchups, from here you can Instantly activate the ultimate of Dreamsnatcher and Ancient of the Ice Caves from hand.

Both Dreamsnatcher and Ancient of the Ice Caves do an excellent job of destroying your opponents deck giving inevitability in stalemates.
But when Ancient of the Ice Caves ultimate is activated while a Crown of Possibilities is in play it gives any minions drawn new keywords, this has the potential to end games very quickly.

The ultimate of Ancient of the Ice Caves negative side isn't that negative, it allows you to dump your hand preemptively while your opponent stashes answers in their hand, they are very rare to dump their hand even if they think an Ancient of the Ice Caves is about to drop. It allows you to bluff your opponent.

And if they do, don't play it; This deck is disgusting when it comes to top-decks, even power gets you closer to activating the ultimate on Mask of Torment.
(I have managed to pull out many win's even when Azindel's Gift has been played on curve during extended games.)

Power base probably needs work.

Hey.
I tried your deck, and added Teacher, because Teacher + Ancient of the Ice Cave is just broken.
BillCosbatron Eternal Version: 1.40
I didn't notice the synergy till you mentioned it. Yeah that'd help a tonne to bait out relic removal and lock out your opponent after using Ancient of the Ice Cave, Thanks for the suggestion!
ElEshVee Eternal Version: 1.40
What'd you swap out for teacher? Not seeing a lot of space in the OP's deck. I assume the mask package took a hit?
Lyart Eternal Version: 1.40
I removed 1 mask, 1 Dreamsnatcher and 1 temple scribe for 3 teachers.
ElEshVee Eternal Version: 1.40
Testing it now with -2 snatcher, -1 crown, -1 mask, +4 teacher. 1/1 so far!

Have you tried using Vara's Choice? It's my favorite Xeban card as it deals with a lot of threats whether preemptively or reactionary. It has synergy with Dreamsnatcher and somewhat with new Vara. I usually do three as four is generally too much.

I like your market choices, though I think you should make room for passage of eons or disenchantment (I think that's the right name? The 2 cost time to kill an attachment or pull from your grave) to combat your opponent who may have heavy attachment reliance. Maybe the two cost card is better so it can also grab your destroyed masks or crowns.

I really like this idea, definitely one of my favorite color pairings so I'm definitely gonna try it out!
BillCosbatron Eternal Version: 1.40
But yeah, Passage of Eons could be swapped for the crest that would definitely improve the winrate

This is just me, and you would need to base this off of results of playing your deck, but I usually don't run power in my market especially if I'm running Auralian Merchant since she gives you +1 maximum power. Looking at your power base I think you are probably fine to run without it in the market.
BillCosbatron Eternal Version: 1.40
There could definitely be room for vara's choice if you moved the power around a bit.
I haven' subbed in Passage of Eons as I rely on Banish to deal with troublesome relics, most of which cost 4 or less.
I have however subbed in a Royal Guardian in the market in place of the Crest of Wisdom, cause I never found myself needing the crest and its a fun card that works alright alongside this deck, Novaquake Titan might possibly work too
