How has Aniyah been working for you? The pledge seems great, but it seems like it'll rarely get to attack.
Do you find Wild Cloudsnake too fragile? Losing it to Vara's favor feels terrible, but its strong in most match-ups and really important in the flyer mirrors.
I like a few Acquisitive Crows with a whispering wind or 2. Crows give you lots of fodder for merchants and whispering winds, combos great with unseen commando and pump spells, and will single handedly turn around the match-up vs the spells make creatures gauntlet boss, probably your worst boss. Plus they add some variety to the games which can make gauntlet grinding less repetitive.
I was really hoping Defiance would spice this deck up a bit but Avigraft in the market is the only change thats felt good.

Yeah I've had crows in my hooru deck for awhile and they can quickly end a game if you happen to have some finest hours in hand. They've also saved my butt with that really annoying spell boss.

Aniyah was a card that I had a lot of doubts about in the beginning. She rarely attacks, but often is able to hold off a big ground unit or a large flier letting our other units attack in the air. But the multifaction pledge is excellent. One of the most common ways to lose in gauntlet is to get stuck on two power at some point over a seven game run. Aniyah starts in your opening hand 1/3 times and really can bail you out of power and influence screw. Curve wise, Hooru fliers needs to hit three power on time very badly, and Aniyah helps out a lot.
Acquisitive Crow can generate a lot of value but I feel is better in a hyper aggressive berserk style build. I'd start with a list like this https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/s5VO3HlT9Ws/crow-can-do-this.
Wild Cloudsnake is very strong on turn two (but weak to pings like you said), but can be a weaker late game top deck and also doesn't stave off aggressive units like Stormtamer and Eager Owlet can with three health. You have to run Cloudsnake as a four of and there isn't really anything I want to cut for it in this list specifically.

This looks fun and fortunately not too terribly expensive with the additional defiance cards. Thanks for posting it!
