Looking for a little help here

This is my current deck that i play for fun. Im limited by what i currently have for cards but im looking for any helpful input. Mabey some areas of improvement i may of overlooked. I am ultimately looking to get the deck size down by 10 cards. 15 lands(Basic and non) and 45 play cards due to elves/alternate mana production. This is the first deck ive posted on this site and i am just comming back to the game after a decade long break. I think the last packs i purchased before my current purchases were ice age and fallen empires. Thanks in advance for any advice!

well even with extra mana generation...15 lands is simply not enough.

extra mana generation lets you play more expensive stuff at a faster pace but it doesn't improve your odds of drawing your initial few lands.

with 60 cards i think 18-29 lands is pretty much the bare minimum....most ppl will play at least 20-22....given that your deck is dual colour 22 should be good.

as for cards to cut...Auriok Steelshaper isn't really worth it with only 4 equipments in the deck.

Bumping up the mana to 20 total has resulted in more consistant opening draws and faster casting. I need some way of more draws i think with this deck as with the mana and the relatively low casting cost i am casting out alot of my hand very quickly. Any suggestions to this point. I actually might just scrub this whole deck and reset so i can concentrate on building a legaly type 2 deck for FNM local tournaments.
