If an unearthed creature would leave play, you rfg it instead.

The play should be t1 steppe lynx. t2 play land, Hellspark, attack with both. T3, Skyfisher, return land, play it, unearth, attack. I LIKE IT!

uhhm kuma that doesnt work, skyfisher + unearth = 4 mana, turn 3 you have max 3 mana. Only comboish way to match hellspark and skyfisher is when you play the hellspark normally, attack while not getting it killed, and then return it. A unearthed creature can never go to a other zone then RFG.
Partly because of that and because this board wants to use a lasting board presence usually because of shenanigans like bushwacker and teetering peeks plated geopede feels a bit better then hellspark to me. A combination of them or all geopede is better imo,
also the deck definately needs 4 vanguard and 1 more land. Some classic aggro decks may work on 2 lands, this one doesn't because of landfall and ranger of eos, skyfisher makes a land stall less bad (hence his inclusion) but you still need 22 or better yet 23.
Harm's way or burst lightning are the cards to cut to make this happen, which one is a tough call. I prefer cutting burst lightning totally as I find harms way better with jund being so popular.
The sideboard is also a bit messy, why not 4x celestial purge and what is the reason for day of judgement?
Also i realize my suggestions leads you the 'netdeck' version of bushwacker more but thats just the most efficient way.

I think that you should hold Skyfisher until turn 4. Hellspark, attack, Skyfisher, return Hellspark. It's crazy.

The deck is all about abusing Kor Skyfisher! I wish that Whitemane Lion was still in print.

I posted my list for referance in another thread.

4 Path to Exile is really bad in the mirror. I cut it to 3 main deck. Also you should run Ajani V main deck. It gives you one more card to abuse with Kor Skyfisher and can win you the control match with Goblin Ruinblaster frome the side. Goblin Runeblaster is also nuts with Kor Skyfisher.

Kor Sanctifier is useful on the sideboard.
