Compare Thieving Boatman to Library Larcenist and Skyswimmer Koi. I think it's acceptable where it is, or maybe even a touch underpowered.
I just had a thought. If vigilance is making its way into , that could be an option to manipulate Duelist at higher rarities.
Lakeside Extortionist can be a little risky, with a required negative effect. If you have artifacts and your opponent doesn't, you might have just lost a turn with it. Hope you didn't need that Treasure mana next turn...
Valiant Roadtreader's wording is awkward. "It can't (insert phrase here) if possible" isn't especially intuitive. I get the intent, and I'm trying to come up with an alternative wording, but as is, it's funky.
Sleazy Tolltaker has draw five cards, at minimum. At common. Even the "draw equal to power" is at higher rarities in green. I don't think the discard five + defender is enough to offset this. Maybe loot 2?
Illusory Growth is a little smaller than Serpentine Ambush. Is this where you want it to be?
Fade from the Blow is probably overpowered. Slip Out the Back is a good uncommon, and Fade is a little more restrictive. might be an okay cost, but I might be overestimating it's utility. Why not "Put a +1/+1 counter on target attacking or blocking creature. That permanent phases out." and save a few words?

TypicalTimmy: That's awesome! Congratulations!
Ok, so seeing how effects like Serpentine Ambush and Startling Development have become pretty frequent in , I want a chance to actually play these in 60-card casual decks. This is what I'd need for that:
Serpent Familiar
Creature - Serpent
Whenever a serpent you control deals combat damage to a player, you may return target instant card with mana value 4 or less from your graveyard to your hand.
: Untap target serpent you control.
5/5
