2 Kabolds + Curio = Inf loop = Boosted Storm count, why not a Grapeshot? or just Furious Assault. And in vintage it's easy but expensive to speed a deck like this up, moxes, lotus, sol ring, those are your best bets. Hope this helps. Check this out, Turn 1 Lotus, Mox Ruby, Land, Sac lotus for Curio, Play kabold, play second, return first to hand, repeat, Tap land and Ruby for Grapeshot = first turn kill.

Guilty Conscience + Stuffy = I win. You can tap him for inf damage to your opponent if he's enchanted. Just a thought. And for redirecting creature damage try the en-Kor cards, they rock with stuffy. And honestly it is really hard to stop the wither damage, sorry. Stuffy met its match with shadowmoor.
For some AMAZING mana accel in this deck check out metalworker, since every card save like 2 is an artifact he can get you TONS of mana. Throw in a staff of domination for inf mana. Just something to help speed you up a LOT.
The database won't let me put in more than 20 basic lands per swamp if you know what I mean so I had to add the extra 2, thats all. Contaminated bonds isn't bad but if you get the lock down the sleeper agent won't be attacking, ever. Vampiric link could work and if you want to put it in be my guest, but the life gain isn't needed if the lock is set as your opponents won't be harming you at all.
You can add stuffy doll for some real fun. then add the combo stuffy + guilty conscience for inf damage to one player. You'll have plenty of turns to grab another stuffy to finish the other people. And best part, he helps cuz he's already indestructible!!
I've got two words: Creature Control. A good creature control deck rips this to shreds, sorry to say. Trust me, all my friends had elf decks until they kept getting beaten senseless by WOG and control decks. You need some spells to help you out. Elves rock, they're fast and they hit hard, they get you life etc, but use them to sync with good spells and you can't lose. And question: if you're using elves where is wellwisher?
Good call, I thought that one would work the best, I mean it lets Heartless play his ability the turn he comes out and untaps him for 1, so evil.
Ok, not one of my less expensive decks but thats what happens when you play with older cards and duel lands. Earthcraft isn't cheap but there really isn't a replacement for it so it stays and the duel lands help out a great deal with the speed of this duel colored deck. You can cut them down the line 50/50 and replace 1/2 with forests and the other with islands but it will slow the deck a lot. Or, to lower cost, could put in Yavimaya Coast for Tropical Island.
Powerful but seriously, if you try to buy this deck it would cost a small fortune. Of course its going to be good, there is power 9 in it, old school duel lands, and a slew of restricted cards. If you have this it must be insane.
Really fun GW card for this deck: Rhys the Redeemed, not only does he make tokens, he doubles them and he's ONE hybrid GW to play. 2G/W for a GW elf warrior token that will get boosted to 3/3 with a liege and 4G/W G/W to double all tokens, sure he's rare and about $3 to buy but he would be worth it in my opinion.
I've noticed this with all of your decks, not as much in your wither deck but definitely in this one. The chance of drawing a card goes up or down depending on how many you have in the deck and how small the deck is. While your creatures all work in this deck, if you need one specific card the odds say you won't get it, try having less different cards and more of the same card, unless of course its legendary. But the idea is good, my friend has a killer bird deck like this one.
How about everlasting Torment? I love th synergy between Kulrath and the Banshee, you could use more banshees though. Try blowfly infestation. For getting cards you need you may want to put in some beseech the queens. I have a deck like this but mine is all black, since a lot of this deck is hybrid you might be able to d othe same. I mean that would involve losing puncture bolt though which is sad. If you keep red maybe Goblin Ram-Gang would be nice and more duel lands for RB will help
But the tutors are so awesome... haha. I play with friends who run multiple moxes, 4 balances and black lotuses all plural, so my illegality doesn't even come close to theirs. haha. This deck really does work amazingly with the tutors but you can take them down to 1 and replace with the ravager, that would work, but it would make me sad.
I like their abilities and they are a lot cheaper to cast than dragon mage. See, regular shocker is only 1R while Barbed is 3R but tougher and trample haste but for my purposes, which is enchanting it with arcane teachings I don't really need the trample so they are about on the same par, the haste is nice on the barbed but the cost is nice on the original shocker.
Oh wow!! You already added the birds and entrances!! Way to Go!! Ok, maybe you are good on mana accel and getting creatures out. Now all we need is something to help the piper. What about fool's demise that way when it dies it will come back and then on your turn you can play fool's demise again and the best part is that its standard legal!! For non standard legal I suggest something like flickering ward.
I guess I should have figured that one out from the cards and of course the title. Haha. Oh well, if you don't want it to be standard anymore those cards will help. I still recommend some mana accel, remember piper does cost 4 to play, the elves will help but will they be enough?
Garruk is a HUGE target though. For his price (to buy) he will die aweful quick. You've done about as good as you can do for a standard deck of this type, congratulations, keep it as is. And seriously, I have 3 trolls that I got in the same booster box, it was awesome but the 4th is proving a pain to get, thats why I mentioned it. The funny part is that I DO have 3 Garruks haha. I got them in similar ways to you getting your trolls, now the fourth one of that is proving difficult too... darn...
Mill deck + merfolk = Laquatus... Where is he? You can throw in some inf mana combo like Power artifact + Grim Monolith or since you're playing it merfolk, try Paradise mantle + Stonybrook Schoolmaster + Intruder alarm. Intruder alarm would be sick in this deck because simply stonybrook + intruder alarm will get u inf untaps so mill all you like with that Drowner.
For those who don't know the combo goes something like this: Enduring renewal returns creatures that would go to the graveyard to your hand, so Sac a 0 cost to a station, it comes back to your hand. Play it, it untaps the station. Back where we started so why not Repeat for however much damage you want? Phyrexian Altar can get you as much mana as you need and you can swing with an 8trillion+/8trillion+ ornithopter thanks to the ravager.
I think this deck is perfectly unique. Runed Halo + Heartless = laugh till you cry. Heartless is a good card, he's cheap and his ability rocks. Burst of energy may help, Rally the Troops, Thousand year Elixer, Puppet Strings and Jandor's Saddlebags can be good too. Also maybe circle of prot red?
