Haha, no confusion mate... I'm just new to this and I don't really follow the formats and stuff... casual player, ya know :-) I like the deck though :-)

Glimmerposts and Cloudposts and Vesuvas? Just saying... 6 mana on turn 3 and 12 mana (colorless, but hey, it's kinda an artifact deck anyway) on turn 4 is nice. And that's with lands only.
Do you need 4 Savor's? I can't really figure out what they'd be particularly useful for except as a means of giving your creatures a kind of haste...? Could you explain that to me? And Springleaf Drum could be swapped for the Paradise Mantles... Maybe go 2 and 2? The Mantles are limited to one creature, but Springleaf Drum can be used by any creature, giving you more options. And do you need 22 land? Pretty much everything only costs 3 mana... You might be able to cut it back to 20 and still not come up short.
I like it man! I love when people realize that Eldrazi Spawn is not only good for mana ramp... They actually can be used in a pretty sneaky horde deck as well... People never see it coming :-) Couple comments/questions: Maybe consider splashing a little Red in there. Cards like Brood Birthing and Spawning Breath and Rapacious One seem to generate spawn a lot faster than Awakening Zone and Skittering Invasion. Awakening Zone was pointed out to me as being kind of a slow card unless you have 2 or 3 of them in play at once. (Awakening Zone, to be useful, has to be played very early. But it uses up a lot of early game mana with no payoff until the next turn). Might of the Masses is an AMAZING card in these decks. You NEED 4 of them. Also, Infiltration Lens is a neat little card. Your opponent either lets your creature through, letting drop Might of the Masses on it and do some hurtin', or blocks and gives you 2 cards :-) Check out my Eldrazi Spawn deck, I think you will enjoy it! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=129978
Dude, Springleaf Drum fits so perfectly in here it's ridiculous. And Trinket Mage for the fetching!! Sweet deck dude! I'm building one... little tweaks here and there... But totally building one :-) Check out my Artifact Fetch deck? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=133137
Is Splinter not Tournament legal? If it is, you NEEEEEEED it in this deck. Splinter and Liquimetal Coating... Almost instantly shuts down any mono color deck.
I tend to agree BrianBell... It's a little extra win condition if you need it, and you've got twenty cards in your deck that'll prevent you from taking combat damage and the leyline for direct damage... Plus iso/seek to have the cards when you need them. Beautiful deck though :-)
Seething song is a little unnecessary... It's mono-red, so Lightning Bolts are always helpful :-)
Perhaps Cunning Sparkmage or Prodigal Pyromancer? Each time you ping the opponent it boosts Spitfire... Having two one the field would mean she turns into a 7/3 for 0 mana, leaving your other mana free to do other things... Further damage, or cast the bigger creatures.
Why Kazuul?? He seems out of place... And Everlasting Torment seems odd as well... If all your creatures have wither, there's no point to giving it to your opponents. Adding Stigma Lasher will give you one more creature AND give you the ability to recreate Everlasting Torment's 1st effect... Actually, put Livewire Lash on Stigma Lasher (how fitting) and slap Claw of Valakut on him and BAM! Your opponent can't gain life the rest of the game. But if you really wanna hold onto that "Damage can't be prevented" bit, I'd suggest Leyline of Punishment. Yes, it costs 1 more mana to cast, but you could also possibly cast it for free. And finally, I know it was already suggested, but maybe splash some Black? Cinderbones, Necroskitter, Needle Specter, and Sickle Ripper can all take the place of Boggart Ram-Gang and Scuzzback Scrapper. I mean... Necroskitter will turn your opponents army into your army, and Needle Specter with Claws on him?? My god... How annoying would that be?! I might go build a deck now :-)
Instead of edge of Autumn, maybe try Growth Spasm? I know it's more expensive, but it gives you one land of any color you want, and a colorless mana or chump blocker... And having a chump blocker would be nice if you, for some reason, can't stop the combat damage. Also, any board wipe card (DoJ, Damnation, WoG, etc) might be handy the turn before you drop Phage... Just saying :-)
I'm way behind on the comments for this deck, but I just stumbled across this and I love the idea. Would there by any way to implement a Panoptic Mirror into this for the sake of recasting Artificial Evolution over and over again? You could even put Diabolic Tutor on it and search when you don't need to use AE.
I agree... I'm on a Green kick myself. 5 out of my last 6 decks have had Green in them :-) Also, if you don't mind me deck advertising on your 100th deck, have a look-see at my Elvish Genesis-ish deck? It's got some wonderful flavor I think you may enjoy :-) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=134484
Haha, this is almost exactly the same as my Myr deck! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=130386 You should check out SPLINTER TWIN!! You only need one Galvanizer for the infinite combo if you have Splinter Twin... Super helpful card. And if you already have 2 Galvanizers out, you can put it on a Myr Battlesphere and get 4 tokens every time you make a copy.
Congrats Mr. Whynot! My meager 12 decks pale in your centennial shadow :-) 1. My favorite card is probably Panoptic Mirror... The possibilities are just so endless with that card. 2. The questions... How long have you been playing MTG and building decks? And what's your favorite color in MTG? 3. My favorite decks... Unfortunately I'm still new to MTG (only been doing this about 5 months) and I don't have the card base or funds to build all my decks, so I haven't gotten to play a lot of my decks. So, instead I stare longingly at certain decks I've built on here XD My favorites are, from favorite to 3rd favorite, Elvish Genesis-ish, Eldrazi Spawn Factory, and Like Moths to Flame (artifact fetch).
You need more cheap artifacts. A lot of the cards only untap when creature or artifact enters the graveyard. You need some things that will send those things to the graveyard... Throne of Geth, Culling Dais, Memnite, Ornithopter... etc. I like the theme though :-)
How is 2 Voltaic Keys and an Everflowing Chalice unlimited mana?
Sideboard Wing Puncture for fliers... It was made to work with infect.
I know it's slow, but Kaleidostone could help in a pinch if you wanna semi-hardcast Maelstrom Archangel.
Oh, and give all you elf lovers... Come take a look see :-) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=134484
