Oh I'm German, so no worries about the language.
If you have the money to spend on better lands - great.
I wanted to tell you, that bounce lands are good if your deck only has not enough lands. They are two lands in one draw.

My other main point is: make up plays in your head.
In my deck I play:
Turn1 tapped land [[Jungle Shrine]]
T2 [[Marauding Raptor]] T3 [[Ripjaw Raptor]]. Or
T2 [[Thunderherd Migration]] T3 [[Ranging Raptors]] + [[Savage Stomp]] Or.
T2 [[Raptor Hatchling]] T3 ...

That is my game plan - what is yours?
My {mana} needs to be T1 {-} T2 {1R} or {1G} T3 {RGG} or {RRG} that makes it obvious, turn one needs to be a tapped duo-land while T2 and T3 have to be untapped.

If you this route you will have a good mana base.

If was thinking of T1 Kinjalli's Caller T2 [[Marauding Rator]] + something for {W} up to {2W} but your deck has nothing with {1W} or {2W} which is sad, if start so fast. You could play [[Kinjalli's Sunwing]] that exact same turn two.

That let me to the conclusion, maybe you don't need all this untapped mana (especially on a budget)

Btw do you dislike Wakening Sun's Avatar?

I ment coincidence not convinced, I guess you figured that part out :)
I focused more on the enrage mechanic you got a lower curve...

I think the bounce lands need to be RG so you play more Plains or GW Lands turn 1.
Most of the time, when I build mana bases, I try to figured out some curves.
Take your ideal hand and play out in until turn 4. Set all those cards aside and repeat. If you can do this 3 times then do those paths work if mixed? If yes your deck is optimized.

I'd also play 4 Caller and only 2 Priests. An 0/3 also gives you 2 life if it can block a 2-powered attacker.
But then the deck would need a good 1W in case of a tapped Land or 1WX in case of another untapped land. So far only raging raptor meets this criteria.

Maybe T1 Priest into T2 bounce land + Caller into T3 Rippjaw is good enough.
T1 Tapped RW land into T2 Forest + Priest + Marauding Raptors...
I think you see where I'm going here.

Bounce land are a great way to 'cheat' on your land count a bit as they are 2 land drops in 1 - but they come with the cost of unplayable T1 and if played T2 you either also played a tapped land T1 (and do not start the game until T3) or you need good 1 drops in a single color. Your deck does this in W and it even is a mana dork...

Cool deck idea. Some cards could use some upgrades though.

[[Returned Centaur]] just has weak stats.(Even as a mill zombie)
[[increasing convolution]] has a low rate even with 2x-1 it's worse then other version.
The Cipher of [[Stolen Identity]] negated by your main plan of [[Undead Alchimist]]
Last the Pharika's Cure could be a real removal spell. Black has so many good ones.

[[Glimpse the Unthinkable]] probably is out of budget, but how about [[Maddening Cacophony]]?
Is [[Drowned Secrets]] an option if you tweak most of your creatures and other spells to have blue in them?
[[Embalmer's Tools]] seem to be made for this archetype but the first sentence would need some more deck building.
[[Siren of the Silent Song]]?

Hope it helps let's brew something up :)

Now some thoughts on the deck:

If you are using the Caller, the deck really needs it's white Mana base on turn 1 or 2. Using the bounce lands will make him enter turn 3 unless you opened on a basic planes. How have they been for you?
The Hatchling basically reads as a kinda unblockable 2/1. You won't have the Mana to use it's flash ability on defense and on offense the opponent will not block unless all creatures will die anyway.
Marauding Raptors can be a trap. You have protection with Altisaur but I'd rather made sure that all my Dinos survive a shock.

I like your White approach though. Hope you have fun with it.

Oh I'm in no hurry. He is 3, we have time ;)
The first step are my 5 color decks. If get's lured into the game can grow with this deck. So far he only noticed some Commons laying around and looking at those. We are at a very early stage...

The crasher probably is a good card on it's own. Didn't include him because he feels like a trample payoff.
Huatli as a planeswalker was something I didn't want to include. Besides she is weak. The + only gains life, even two 3/3 for 5cmc with her 0 is medium.

Oh I'm mixing [[Curiosity]] with [[Curious Obsession]]. The 2nd one was the reason why mono blue was very strong in Standard like 2 sets ago. I think it would trump the other deck. With almost all creatures they lack removal to punish auras...
Thanks for your recommendation though.

@Alfred. Been playing Magic since High School ~2005. Started watching my friends a lot before I got my own cards.
My first decks here I created 2014.

Thanks for your response. The deck is supposed to be the first blue deck for my little son. The format modern as the cards have the same card stile. The budget is, as low as possible for now.
[[Curious Obsession]] is probably the better card. But it has art I don't like (either a Human torturing a Werewolf or a wounded Tiger-human stalking a Solider) Divination is just so blue. Also the art is gorgeous. And it would take the slot of the other aura, which also is so blue and pg.

I have [[Golden Hind]]. Elves is a very green tribe.
But he knows Elves only from Christmas and that's a very different story :P
Elkes live in forests. That's easier to relate to?!

Oh yea, this is very similar. Didn't know Wizards had such simple precon decks. Thanks for charging.

First of all, thank you two for the response. Secondly, where did you two dig this up? It was a random idea I had March 2014. Since then looting got banned and many new cards were printed. Graveyard-hate is also very prominent.

(Goyo as an instant is able to revive Emrakul with his shuffle-back-in trigger on the stack)

The deck has no sideboard and no description. Hence, it was never really intended to get rated.
Also I kinda grew up. My current focus is to introduce my sons to Magic. I started a new series here:

Rile ist just to good with Forerunner and too much flavor to pass up. Migration is on my watch list, but I want to keep ten 2drops. Dinosaur Stampede probably is overkill, even though it has awesome art that probably the cut.

What is the makro to create a link for the card?
