Crested Sunmare, I think, would be the true game ender this deck wants. You'll generally have a sister out to trigger her as soon as she hits, so you're getting 10 power for 5 mana right off the bat. With all the other life gain outlets, you're hitting critical mass fast, and she's protecting the other horses so it usually takes two cards to clear her and her army out. I'd definitely want Sunmare over Serra, and maybe even over Divinity of Pride.
She's not expensive, but if we're looking for very budget options, Sunscorch Regent and Regal Caracal both seem better than Serra here, and are <$1 each.

I'll look around for a list. But should be pretty easy to imagine what it was trying to do. (pretty sure it relied heavily on Serra Ascendant)

She's not nearly the powerhouse she once was, and she doesn't flow with the deck beyond being a beatstick.
Baneslayer Angel is the more obvious direct upgrade.
