This started out as a really janky-looking bad deck from 1996 and ended up as a still janky-looking deck that performs unreasonably well.

It's an aggro-control deck slightly similar to Fish...in fact, it's a pile of tech from various decks. Mox Monkey, Grimmy, and Pikula end the game with beats. Yes, it's a really slow win condition, but that hasn't mattered for me.

Sadly, I haven't been able to test against any good players other than one of my friends who's semi-competitive. That's skewed my testing a little bit, but so far, I've been able to win pretty consistently.

You have 0 tutors.

You have no draw engine.

You have only 4 moxen.

You should work on incorporating these things in an attempt to focus your deck.

Metagame hate seldom wins with blue as one of it's colors.  As stated above, blue is the color you hate, not the color you play with, when you play this sort of deck(ReB maindeck instead of mana drain?!?!?!).  Also, why would you want 2 draw7's when you're running hate cards?  you're trying to exhaust their supply of threats as rapidly as possible, not counter them all and then restock their hand with broken things.

Good so far as meta hate is concerned:
2 Gorilla Shaman
4 Meddling Mage
4 Fire // Ice
2 Stifle
1 Null Rod
1 Time Walk
4 Force of Will
1 Ancestral Recall
4 Brainstorm

The rest does not belong in this deck, it belongs in 5cc from a year ago and even then it would be questionable and all the cards except balance would probably be cut.  Not dissing this deck totally, just stating the fact everyone here probably already observed but didn't state to you: You don't play combo cards and metagame hate in the same deck.  It's just not right, man!

I think this deck are too many decks and mostly colors combined, it won't work properly

ok lets get this straight: Zoo is traditionally a r/g/u aggro deck...this is a pile of cards that will cause you to lose pick three colors and call me in the morning.

Zoo and Fish are both mid-range aggro-ish decks. Your deck is a compilation of both and thats not necessarily good.

You should either condense into 2 colors and go for a Fish style deck w/blue or go down to 3 colors w/out blue and try the Zoo-ish approach that you seem to like.
