I'm not entirely sure that you quite get the idea of the deck. The constable or the selkie has to get avoidance somehow, and with only 4 wings of velis vel I can't count on those. With 4 wings and 4 favors I have a much higher chance of getting 1 of the two in my hand, 65%. I have negates and rune snags for counters as well.

I don't particularly like the concept, but I'd use incinerates instead of volcanic hammers, same effect+target can't be regenerated and it's instant speed.
I disagree with the creature bandwagon here. I'd say drop the spitebellows to sideboard and pick up two more marauders. Consider adding browbeat for some needed draw, or if your opponent is stupid 5 to the face. @ the people saying more creatures, this is a burn deck, he whittles his opponent down to 12 or so by turn 6 the drops a ton of riftbolts/incinerates/flame javelins/etc and wins.
Now that I think about it, adding primal beyond would kick ass if you don't narrow it down to mono red.
I don't think 5 color suits elementals very well. I'd bring it down to red or red/white, and add Reveillarks if you keep white in it. You could add thunderblusts, more nova chasers, more red burning type stuff. Toss some flame javelins and heartlash cinders as well.
I thought about it, but it only works on creatures, I'll consider sideboarding it if I run into stompy creature problems though.
Doubling seasons. Four of them. Now.
I think I'm going to sideboard steel of the godhead. As much as I like the unblockable bouncing 2/2, I think 3 mana for it is more than this deck can afford to pay in many circumstances. I'll definitely swap it in against decks that can handle flying, though. Bastard chumpers from bitterblossom.
The counters are in there because I have to be able to stall if I don't get my ideal draw, enabling me to stonewood invocation a constable later and bounce half their board. I like the idea of running mirrorweaves, though. I'll see where I can work it in. I'm really looking at working the AEthermages in, I figure they're useful in case I don't get my draw, and they can bounce Changeling Colossus as well.
I figure the counters and boomerangs allow me to stall for a decent bit of time to get the combo out and running. I'm thinking of swapping Vedalken AEthermages into the main deck from the sideboard, but I can't figure out what to replace them with.
Looks like a bitch to play against, especially if for some strange reason you're playing thallids. Just one question, since this is an ideal deck why doesn't it have Mutavaults in it?
