Type 1 Deck: Storm Incarnation (Type: Ankh Sligh)

I have created an Ankh Sligh deck, that I would like to take to GenCon this year. I appreciate any and all advice that anyone can give me. I went to GenCon last year, and have went to several tournaments, so I have a lot of experience. Anyways, here is my decklist as it currently stands:
Creatures(8):
4x Grim Lavamancer
4x Skizzik
Artifacts(12):
4x Ankh of Mishra
1x Black Vise
4x Cursed Scroll
1x Memory Jar
1x Mox Ruby
1x Sol Ring
Instants, Interrupts(10):
1x Fireblast
1x Fork
4x Incinerate
4x Lightning Bolt
Enchantments(0):
Sorceries(9):
4x Browbeat
4x Chain Lightning
1x Wheel of Fortune
Lands(21):
16x Mountain
1x Strip Mine
4x Wasteland
*---------------------------------*
Sideboard(15):
3x Crash
4x Pyroblast
4x Red Elemental Blast
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first build version of an ankh sligh deck. It looks extremely well-built to me. The only thing it lacks right now is actual tournament experience. I am making this for GenCon this year, so I would appreciate any and all feedback that anyone can give me.
If anyone wants my reasons of including certain cards, please ask and I will post why.
The only weak cards in this deck that I see at first are the 4 Skizzik. I put Skizzik in because I didn't know if I would have enough red mana available to use Ball Lightnings. Regardless, I have 4 of each card so changes can be made. Every other card in this deck seems solid to me.
Thanks for looking, and I look forward to your comments.

Have you seen Food Chain Goblins? The deck costs just about as much as this one to put together and consistently places highly in tournaments. Vegeta put together a really good primer listed on the main site. Sorry to say this, but Sligh hasn't won any tournaments (or even placed) in a long time and I don't forsee it rebounding any time soon.

Moved. Hi-Val already stated it's inherant problems, but I wanted to emphasis that since it shows a lack of familiarity to the format, it appropriately belongs in newbie. Your posting format and demeanor are well-toned, however, and I appreciate that.

Thanks for the advice. I am going to look into a food chain goblin deck, and I will post it here in a few days and hopefully you guys could help me some with it. Thanks again.

You know, I have been lurking here for quite some time and it's amazing how everyone disregards everything other than the "cookie cutter" deck themes.
Yes, it's true these decks have been tested to death finding the optimal cards and as such 90% of decks in major tournaments represent these decks. But my question is unless new ideas (or revisiting old ideas with newer cards) pop up and are tested, is there any chance at toppling these so called tier 1 decks? I'm not saying everyone needs to come up with a unique deck idea...it's just that people need more of an open mind when it comes to this stuff.
Sorry for the derail.

It's not that the sites moderation moves decks that don't fall within a cookie cutter archtype. It moves decks that:
1) Died a slow and painful death because of the direction the metagame moved in. For example Ankh Sligh was great until decks ran Tog and combo got more popular.
2) Just aren't going to be good. You can be open-minded all you want, but Browbeat is just not good in this format. We know this because people have tried it, but we also know it because logic dictates these types of things.
3) Offer no post substance. Just decklists are bad, even if it's a good deck.
4) Are just plain unreadable.
This poster was exceptionally rational, clear, and well-intentioned. I wanted to emphasize that his posting quality is fine and that's nothing that needed work. The deck itself was in question and for good reason.
