Might want something to protect the Glaze Fiend before you can get Whispersilk Cloak on it. I'd guess any instant speed removal is going to hit it once you play the cloak. A second win condition might be necessary. Your basically putting all your eggs in one basket which usually doesn't work out to well from my experience. Also, like suggested, some drawing would be great. Some decks might overrun you before you can even find your creatures. The idea is interesting though.

Aether Vial
Unfortunately, Shared Animosity isn't standard legal.
All the mana ramping is to quickly get 7 plains into play for Emeria, the Sky Ruin. I'm probably going to remove that strategy though, I think I could use removal instead of mana ramping. Your deck does look interesting but I'm trying to keep the ally theme going.
Since you aren't going to be targetting any of your slivers you should add Crystalline Slivers. Also if you're playing with proxies you might as well play with original dual lands and some of the fetch lands. Aether Vial might be a good addition to sneak slivers into play.
FNM - 2 Game 1 vs Zombies (2-0) Game 2 vs Mana Ramp to Iona (1-2) Game 3 vs Luminarch Fog (0-2) Game 4 vs Aggro Control (0-2) I've decided to remove red and change the theme.
FNM - 1 So far the deck has gone 2-2 Game 1 vs Mana ramp + big creatures (2-1) Game 2 vs Planeswalkers (0-2) Game 3 vs Mono green (2-1) Game 4 vs White weenie (0-2)
Thanks for the advice. I've increased the Highland Berserker count by removing the Trusty Machetes. Unfortunately those are the only cards I actually have that you have recommended. I have the Jungle Shrines, Kazandu Blademasters, and Ondu Clerics on the way though since I found them for cheap.
Some cards I'm considering at the moment: Kabira Evangel Kazandu Blademaster Ondu Cleric Volcanic Fallout
Why not just have Curiosity instead of Keen Sense? Then you don't need green.
whoops double post!
You need more cards with more white mana symbols in their casting costs. Springjack Shepherd and Changeling Hero is only going to produce 2 goats. You should add cards like Thistledown Liege, Divinity of Pride, and Plumeveil. These cards will produce tons of goats.
Crystalline Sliver prevents slivers from being targeted by spells and abilities. Day of Judgment doesn't target, it simply destroys all creatures. This includes your slivers.
The deck is doing really well. I'm currently working on the sideboard. Right now it's pretty rough. I'm basically looking for things to stop my friends' decks (U/G Madness, Reanimation, Discard).
Thanks for the advice! The mana has been working out for me for now, I might change it up some later. I'll probably slowly replace some stuff with the stuff you mentioned as I play more games to see what I need and can get rid of.
I'd consider taking out the Day of Judgments from the deck since it's pretty creature heavy.
Any advice on what I should change?
Yeah, I'm not sure why Argothian Enchantress shows up under enchantments. Sigil of the Empty Throne definitely would be nice. I'll look into adding it at some point.
Thanks for the advice. I don't play tournaments so that's why I have 4 strip mines. I play with a small group of friends and we allow anything and I can lock down most of them if I get 1 or 2 out early enough. I'm thinking about adding Duress by removing the Ponders though. I just can't warrant removing the Brainstorms though. They've allowed me to pull counters from my deck or some other key card too often.
