I disagree, those kind of decks are slower and rely on an early quiet turns to set up. They burn themselves responding to my threats if I have the eidolon out, and my spells burn more to them or the same as me, plus the advantage of setting up by turn 2 on my side, any removal they play is a burn in my favor and I can protect with an agressive counter offensive that can keep my set up and do even more damage. If in any case they would threat me I can rely on Fated Conflagration and the other enchantment removal.
Any dmage I take is likely to be taken increased by my oponents, even if they counter the set up, they burn and can't stop such a low curve with a constant burning threat.

Feel free to test it against any deck you would say it's at disadvantage and see the result.

Eidolon of the Great Revel (in my opinion) is among the top 5 cards to come out of the Theros block...it's unreal...it's already seeing play in Modern! I'm excited to see it being used here too.
We haven't played Standard in quite some time now; but we do keep up with it. I will look at both decks (this and your Golgari one) and see if there is anything I can think of....it will take a day or two (as I want to go back and study the cards and the meta a little more as it's not like Modern where we've kinda got everything "memorized" because we play it daily :)
I doubt there will be much in terms of ideas to improve the deck (as from your description you thought it out quite well). but I'll do what I can!

The main problem I see with this deck is almost your entire deck is going to kill you when you have your Eidolon out. And against any deck that plays bigger guys (Think R/G monsters, which is arguably the best deck in the format, at least post M15) you're actually going to be winning the game for THEM with every spell you play.
