Should I do anything different with my deck and can somebody playtest it?

I tested your deck against my Esper Dragons deck:
Esper Dragons in Innistrad
Standard
SCORE: 85 | 91420 VIEWS | IN 55 FOLDERS
Your deck definitely has some good power and synergy. The only problems I encountered were with the land. I rarely had the colors I needed to cast my non-colorless spells, such as Secure the Wastes and Cryptolith Rite.
I would definitely suggest adding Canopy Vista or Fortified Village in some number. Even Caves of Koilos could be useful (colorless and white, plus black for Sorin, Grim Nemesis).
Other than mana troubles the deck played well!

Gorgosaurusrex Thanks so much for checking out my deck! I've been thinking about upgrading my lands. I'm leaning towards a playset of Fortified Village over Canopy Vista, I don't know which one would be better for me still running 2 forests and 2 plains. What do you think?
Btw, you said you playtested it, how'd it do against Esper? I seem to have my biggest trouble against Esper Control or Dragons.

8bitMick: Your deck lost both games, but that's mostly because it stumbled on mana. I really don't like Unknown Shores here, I felt like it kept setting me back a turn. Esper decks (and control decks in general) obviously have an advantage over your deck. You could run cards like Duress or Transgress the Mind out of your sideboard with some modifications to your land (Caves of Koilos, Crumbling Vestige, etc) to help with the control matchup.
I would definitely run Fortified Village over Canopy Vista if you are only running 4 basics. I would replace Unknown Shores with Crumbling Vestige.
