From the list i can tell it's supposed to be a storm deck (acceleration and tendrils).  As far as the specific cards go, I'm lost.

I've never built a storm deck from scratch (I usually just perform mad scientist experiments on other decks), but I know enough to know that the deck as listed probably won't be very effective.

Stephen Menendian posts a lot of lists and has gone very well in-depth on his own TPS list.

It's a good place to start.

Unless you really want to re-invent the wheel here, I would recommend you look at list and see which one you like (MWS is a good place to test) and then figure out which is the most practical for you to make.  It'll be easier if we have a frame work of what you *want* to build to recommend supplements to the cards you don't have, rather than just divine a deck out of a list of card.

Do you happen to play in a non-proxy enviroment?  What decks do you usually play against?  Do you play in tournaments?

Also, when playing rituals Yawgmoth's Will is a very important card, and pretty cheap too (as in cost to acquire) and helps you replay all your cards for the win.

Squandered Resources could hurt you as much as help you- I would consider cutting it for something more helpful. Also, it will be difficult to cast in this deck, you may end up holding it in your hand too long.

Since you are running some red sources, Wheel of Fortune may help, as well as a copy of empty the warrens if you wanted to go that route.  Necropotence would be a huge help as well, and an easily cast bomb to help you win the game.  This deck really doesnt counter or go after your opponents hand much, so you need to win before they do.

Good Luck!

Gold eyes, you've been asked to read the site rules twice before, yet this post shows that you haven't done that.  The rules require that threads contain more information than just a decklist standing alone; when starting a new thread, please include enough content to give the discussion some direction.  What, specifically, do you want feedback on?  Why did you choose the cards you did?  As one of the posters asks, what are you trying to get your deck to do?  As it stands, your thread lacks content.  Verbal warning and thread closed.
