I am incredibly new to MTG, and I decided to make a red-blue deck is the simplest way to put it. I'm looking for suggestions on cards to add, cards that are weak in the deck and should be replaced/removed, (if they are to be replaced what with would also be helpful) and some explanations as to why along with your feedback. Maybe even explain some game mechanics, though I do fully understand the basic mechanics of play (I don't need tapping land etc. explained.) Some various things in the deck include many capabilities of effectively bypassing enemy defenses (flying creatures, archetype of imagination, sleep, will of the naga, stormtide leviathan, mind control to a lesser extent, mistfire adept, aven surveyor, thousand winds, goblin war drums, friendly fire) as well as large amounts of scry to support the use of conundrum sphinx and help with getting specific cards from the deck more easily. A few extra creatures for basic muscle and utility cards (reckless reveler, mudbutton torchrunner, negate, mardu scout, kindled fury, raging goblin, borderland marauder, fierce invocation, shockmaw dragon, temur battle rage.) I hope some more experienced players can help me adjust the deck to be overall better.
