Well your sideboard is illegal at 20 cards. Limit is 15.

I would recommend swapping some tribute creatures out for Heroic, like Satyr Hoplite or Akrosan Crusader. Also look at some of the cards from Khans with Prowess like Monastery Swiftspear. Those cards react and have synergy when paired with stat boosting instants and sorceries. I'd also throw a little burn in there as a pseudo creature control, and something that would protect your creatures like Mortal's Resolve. Other than that your best bet is to play test it against a bunch of different decks (Control decks, Creature decks, Burn Decks, ect.) and keep tweeking it based on what you find. A good deck takes a while to develope, it doesn't happen overnight. Also as a final note I'd look at experimenting with other win conditions and adding more diversity too your deck. You want it to be flexible to deal with a variety of decks but not too diverse that it weakens your ability to win or muddle your ability to run your engine(your main deck idea).

I would def consider running 2 or 3 Mistcutter Hydras in your sideboard, blue can be a real pain in the ass. Also Naturalize is in most situations is better then Fade into Antiquity, unless your finding yourself being beaten down by God's which is probably not gonna happen. Your mana curve is on the high end as well so 1 more elvish mystic and 2 Sylvan Caryatids would go a long way. Consider cutting the Circle of Flame for them it's kind of a nuisance thing which wont end up doing much in the long run. I understand this is your first deck so well done and keep at it. In conclusion I will say don't get frustrated if your going out to local stores for FNM and getting beat. There are a lot of really competitive MTG players who spend hundreds on tier 1 decks.

Ya there is a new Sage of Hours combo deck in standard that can go off on turn 4. the Hydra stops that well.

I think centaur BattleMaster and Krosan Tusker might be good in this deck.

Looks cool.
