Update: -2x Bishop Soldier, +1 Lyra, +1 History.
Please provide detailed reports on how this affects your matchmaking. You just replaced two
stupid (not so very amazing
) cards with two of the best cards in Standard and while that is an obvious quality improvement for the deck, it might hurt you given what we know about ladder matchmaking.
I also made a WW deck two days ago based on yours and Kryders and the remaining internet after I got a second copy of both History and the lord through DOM Draft. Disclaimer: I don't want to spend rare wildcards and not too many wildcards total, so I only used 4 uncommons on Adanto and 4 commons on the Snub.

Haazda MarshalPardon the order, it's an export. In the meantime I've put in 2
Moment of Triumph over 2
Haazda Marshals. Hasn't made a difference so far and I've apparently failed to track yesterday's session.
Now what I don't like and want to get rid off are those games where I get the opponent to somewhere between 1-5 and never get to finish him off, no matter what I topdeck. This issue let's me question all the 1-power one-drops (or even 0 for the Snub) that aren't really run in tournaments. They run different versions of good old
Elite Vanguard. Problem is, they're all uncommon so I want to get some input before purchasing them.
My thinking is rather simple that 2 Vanguards instead of 2 Hawks should get the opponent to zero instead of to 1-5.
I'd give up on the lifegain, but so far that's hardly been relevant. I'm not really racing against an opponent where +1 life for me == -1 life for him but against some invisible foe that will eventually put a hard stop to my efforts. I need to reach the finish line before that happens and my own life total is largely irrelevant.
Thoughts?
