Neat deck, you could try Enlightened Tutor to fetch you Rolling Stones for just 1 white mana.

Why not take out the dozen or so cards that make this deck vintage/legacy format and try to make it standard legal. Then you could play it at FNM and it would be a LOT more competitive. Try magus of the scroll, avalanche riders, etc.
Check out my deck for a decent elf deck. Some builds will try to win faster then this one does but they have to sacrifice reliability and any long term staying power to do it. This build is a beast in a mirror match, seriously your opponent will cry. ; ) http://www.mtgvault.com/viewdeck.php?did=2342
Awesome Deck, but shouldn't you run more then just two equilibrium, and three urza's incubators? Also wouldn't Remand be a better fit then Mana Leak?
and steelshaper's gift to search for just the equip you want/need!
Replace the goblin bombardment with goblin grenade. Lets compare the two; R and sacking a goblin for 5 damage or an enchantment that lets you sack 5 goblins for 5 damage at 1R. Hmmm seems pretty straight forward to me. Your not running some of the BEST goblins. Lackey, Piledriver, and Warchief. You could also take out some of the burn for gempalm incinerators, uncounterable creature burning cantrip-me like! ; )
Not even remotely the amount of land you should be running, not with four Kjeldoran Outpost. If it was a deck of all 1 drops even then it would seem risky. The number one mistake newer players make is believing they can get by on a skeletal mana base and it will cost you a LOT of games. run at least 14 plains for the four Kjeldoran Outposts and at least 4 other lands. Cut everything with a casting cost over four and the Junktrollers and run Plows to Swordshares, Condemns, or Wing Shards.
I'd bump it up to 4 wraths, 4 mana tithes, and 4 devouring lights, as well as adding a mouth of ronom. Dawn Charm shouldn't be necessary if you play the deck well. Take the Imperial Mask out of the sideboard for a Ivory Mask and remove the naturalizes for disenchants as it will be a lot easier to cast the white version of that spell.
There are much better cards for the Crash of Rhinos, Scaled Wurm, Craw Wurm slots MUCH MUCH better; Plated Slagwurm, Living Hive, Kodama of the North Tree, Silvos, Spectral Force, Kodama of the North Tree, and Thorn Elemental. They range in price from 50 cents to 5 dollars with Plated Slagwurm and Living Hive being the cheapest. As the world champion in 2002 said, "Good decks are made up of good cards". Cut the Stream of Life, purely life gaining cards are not worth playing try Loxodon Warhammer
This deck will never be able to beat the dominate vintage archetypes. They are all designed to win 80+% of the time by the third turn. My Manaless Ichorid does about that well and wins about a third of the time on the second turn. You would be better of modifying this deck to play in standard or extended. It might stand a chance in standard if your run the rack and some creature kill (Damnation, if you can get them).
Not bad, You could probably run any kind of creature kill in place of the Anthem and be better off. Your land base is subpar even with the mana producing artifacts. One of the mistakes new players use is underestimating the necessity of a reliable mana base. Add at least 2 more lands, if you feel comfortable with your color fixing run Rix Maadi as in addition to more mana it's a way to dump your reanimation targets while attacking the opponents hand.
Wow were to even start, buy a starter and take out all the cards that are older then 9th and Ravnica. Then at least it will be standard legal so you'll lose but it will take a few turns for you to lose.
Ugggghhhh don't post precons GRRRRRR : (
http://www.mtgvault.com/viewdeck.php?did=2220 Take a look at my version of a mirrodin weenie deck to get a better idea of what you can do. Your creature base is too diverse to insure any sort of consistancy. Your artifacts are seriously underpowered.
The Moroii and Mindleach Mass are really subpar, try Tombstalker. Control decks should have no problem fueling delve. At just two black (with delve) you can toss him out and leave mana open for counters (You wont always have a Teferi out).
I didn't notice the minds eye the first time round. You should probably win the game before you even have the mana available to even play mind's eye. Good red decks win at three-four lands (or less). The red walls should be replaced with Slith Firewalkers, Genju of the Spires, Ball Lightnings, or War Elementals. Playing red walls makes as much sense as a blue burn deck, red is the color of aggression and decks are at there best when played to there colors strengths!
Nice strategy, except the number of varaints make it nearly impossible to pull off in a one on one game. Group games would be your only bet and it's unlikely you friends would let you win more then once. Paint a target on your shirt, why not, just for the irony! ; )
Interesting but ultimately only so-so. Red sligh decks need to make EVERY card count. Speed is their friend. When they run cards that can only burn creatures it is to clear the way for slith, genju of the spires, or ball lightning. Book Burning is not a good card, sorry, it stinkiwith (as Jar-Jar would put it). The opponent will just discard the six cards from the top of their library. Something that HELPS a lot of competitive deck and hurts, well, almost none of them.
Painlands will prove this decks greatest bain! Not bad, there are a lot of vintage/legacy burn decks with a four turn clock, three if they get the draw. Pyromancer's Swath is a clitchy card and a hoot with lava darts and fiery tempers as well as a powerhouse when played before a grapeshot. Run sulfuric vortex in the sideboard to ruin life gain strategies. I run one hidetsugu's second rite in my boros deck and fetch it with sunforger for a quick win so ya it's good.
Yes gass is good, everyone loves it when you have gass. Seriously tho good deck but it would benefit from some drawing, like 99/100 decks. You could also through in one or two timbermares as finishers.
