This probably going to be locked for lack of discussion, but I will offer some quick points:
1) Cloud of Faeries is pretty bad in this deck. Sure, he's a free 1/1 most of the time, but those slots are probably better used as something that will either help you control the game or beat your opponent faster.
2) No Mana Drain? You may have a reason for this, but I think that you should consider it if you want to play this deck. Draining into an Extraction or Twist, for example, is fairly strong.
3) Shadowmage needs to go. Ophidian is used because he can be drained into easily. Shadowmage needs two colors early, which can be problematic.
That's all I'm going to say for now, as though there are multiple issues I have with this deck, I feel that the next post is going to be a Moderator lockifying this post.
Anyway, hope I helped a little.

I think we avoided about 15 accidents on our way in and out by a very narrow margin. I had no fear, but I think Angel was developing a complex about it.
