Personally I like Lush Growth over Abundant Growth to enable your creatures and this deck is just naya anyways so it's a lot better than it is in 4 or 5 color domain. I would maybe consider some tapped duals that have basic land types so you can have a swamps or islands for domain without banking on drawing Nylea's Presence. 6 copies of Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds are pretty slow already so swapping them for tap lands doesn't seem like too much of a loss. Running the swamp type on a few lands + 4 Nylea's Presence in the deck would make running some copies of Snuff Out pretty consistent. Having premium removal that costs 0 mana seems great for a creature heavy aggro deck. I don't see too much of a point in Kor Skyfisher as you really have no good targets to bounce. It's a niche combo with rancor since bouncing the enchanted creature puts it in the graveyard, then back into your hand, but it seems like too much of a tempo loss to have to bounce your own beaters. I guess you can also bounce a land and replay it if you miss a land drop but if that's what you're going for I would suggest going down to 18 lands and cutting 1-2 Matca Rioters to run more aggressive 1 drop creatures. Spark Elemental, Jungle Lion, Jackal Familiar, Goblin Cohort, Clockwork Percussionist, Fanatical Firebrand, or Gingerbrute are all aggressive 1 drops that come to mind. Clockwork Percussionist in particular provides card advantage which is very good and can help you hit land drops if you choose to run a lower land count.

Deck looks cool and keep in mind these are just suggestions, have a nice day <3

Nice build! Why are you playing Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, and Myriad Landscape with no basic lands?

i'd recommend swapping the Evolving Wilds and Sandstone Needle for just basic mountains. lands that enter tapped will just slow you down in a mono-colored deck.

An easy improvement I can recommmend to set you on your way would be to both increase the overall land count, and drop the Evolving Wilds in favor of some sort of dual—Blooming Marsh or Llanowar Wastes are Standard legal right now, and there are tons of even better options in Modern, Pioneer etc. I’m not sure which format you’re looking to build for, but I assumed Standard.

I'm a little confused about your statement that Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse cannot search for Wastes. You said 'These are Fetches that appear in common or Uncommon, and are cards that when sacrificed, go for a Basic Land with a Type (No Wastes!)' but the cards say 'Basic Land Card' not 'Basic Land with a Type.' Wastes are a basic land so I do not understand why they're not a legal target.

If you reduce yourself to one copy of each card(except for basic lands, which you can have multiples of), you'll end up with 58 spells(57 if Screeching Bat  Flip//Stalking Vampire  Flip is counted twice on your list) and 34 lands. Even if you had a legendary creature in this collection you don't have enough cards for a commander deck. Until you can get the Legendary Creature and the other 7 or 8 cards to fill out a commander deck, my suggestion is to work towards a modern deck.

The only clear cut recommendations I'm making will concern your lands. Having Evolving Wilds, Rakdos Carnarium and Terramorphic Expanse would be great if you were running a landfall deck, but you only have three cards with landfall—and Rakdos Carnarium isn't a land I would put in a non-landfall deck without ways to play additional lands(like Walking Atlas). My suggestion is all three copies of Mortuary Mire and both copies of Rix Maadi, Dungeon Palace. Tapping four lands to make everyone discard may be a lot, but it will prove useful in the late game when you have a lot of mana floating around. You simply activate the land's ability, discard a high mana cost creature card you have, and put it back in your library when you play Mortuary Mire.

Other than that you'll want to build the deck with as much synergy as possible. I suggest organizing all your cards into piles. One for death triggers, one for spells that can benefit from discard, one for ways to sacrifice creatures, one for lifegain and one with creatures that get stronger, and so forth. Look at if/how they interact with each other. One example is how sacrificing Deadbridge Shaman to help pay for Altar's Reap gives you some card advantage.

Another thing to take into account is mana efficiency. If, for example, you're wanting to run a burn deck(Spells that do direct damage), you'll want to consider cards that give off at least one damage for each one mana spent. Lightning Bolt is a good example of mana efficiency, not so much for Explosive Impact.

I hope it's enough for you to get started. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you have any. Thank you for reading me out. May you draw well!

I second what kamarupa posted. They’re good guiding principles to build by.

You specifically mentioned speed as something you’re looking to improve—it may be difficult depending on how strict your budget allotment is, but the quickest simplest way to speed things up would be to add/increase the number of fetch-lands in your mana base. Things like Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse are technically functional as they are valid ways to trigger landfall, but they’re like leg irons. ‘…enters the battlefield tapped’ is to be avoided at all costs, if possible. Fetches, while expensive in a monetary sense, provide all the benefits you want for landfall with none of the drawbacks.

Try it out with proxies first, and if this is your main build and you like the performance after fetch-boosting, maybe look into acquiring some to add.

First thing I see is that there aren't any one-mana options. Akoum Hellhound can get some early pressure, or Jaddi Offshoot gives you time to develop. And Lightning Bolt is an option, too.

This is more of a personal preference, but I would use Ash Barrens or Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse over Promising Vein.

Still, this is going in a good direction. I can't call myself a Pauper expert yet, but this looks very solid.
