It looks interesting but overall, I'm concerned your mana curve is a little too high and I'm not seeing a lot that will help versus the established decks in the meta (Affinity, Faeries, Burn, etc). You will be on your backfoot against the more aggressive strategies and lose out on card advantage against the midrange decks.
Props for trying something new & different. Definitely report back on how the event was.
I'm kinda baffled that they'd let a major story point of the set out this early. They could have milked the spoiler season so that the planeswalkers were some of the last rares/mythics previewed.
It was a key part of a combo win with Goblin Charbelcher in Vintage many moons ago. I imagine it probably still has some application in EDH these days for fringe decks but I'm not aware of any strategy centered around it.
Standard (or any other format) would be better if they would also RESTRICT cards as well as ban certain cards. Some cards could be restricted to ONE copy. This would effectively ban it but potentially keep it around.
They did that back when Standard was created but ultimately all the top decks became centered around the restricted cards and they opted to just ban cards outright.
I imagine banning a card would still impact its price tag more than restricting it but it would be interesting to see how that would effect Bo1 formats in Arena.
//EDIT: You probably could use some additional green sources of mana. Swapping Battlefield Forge for Brushland and Boros Garrison for Selesnya Sanctuary may help.
I primarily build and play decks for EDH but I enjoy following Pauper and drawing inspiration from it. If there was a local scene for Pauper that would probably be my primary format.
I'm definitely swapping out Thriving Bluff, Thriving Heath, and probably Shimmerdrift Vale for the new blue, black, and green gates. Not sure if the existing gate support cards at common are good enough to make it in the deck.
I feel like the adventure creatures would be better suited in more creature heavy decks. The fact that Mystical Teachings can't fetch either is a big downside. Wouldn't Manamorphose be slightly better than Bathe in Gold?
Thanks Perodequeso. I misunderstood the OP's question.
MTG Nexus has a larger version of just that Nessian Wilds Ravager artwork in their gallery here. It's not print quality level but better than most card image sizes.

Spidersilk Armor is an option versus fliers.
Good luck!

I like Druidic Ritual but in Child Grim Discovery and/or Pulse of Murasa seem better unless you really want to push the mill angle.
