Hooooo-boy... I don't mean to sound rude, but there's a lot...I mean a LOT to improve here. I kind of get what you're trying to do here and i see you're keeping your budget low, so I'll keep that in mind when writing...

First... in EDH, there should be about 35 lands at minimum...usual is 36-40, but 35 is a good starting point and you can fix it if you feel like you're getting mana-screwed on many games even with a decent shuffle.

Then.... your creature base AND instant/sorcery spells have, like 60+ percent cards that can be swapped to others, but let's start with creatures...

First off... you seem to play lots of "jank" or the commons and uncommons nobody really wants. Most of your creatures only get a small extra when they enter the battlefield, but what YOU want are creatures that help your WHOLE deck ALL the time. With that many spells, Guttersnipe is a must. Actually.... I'll list the creatures you should keep so you get the point of how much you should change: Lone Rider, the rare angels and Weaver of Angels....that's it.... Good, effective creaturescan be found surprisingly cheap. Ogre Battledriver, Windborn Muse, Taurean Mauler(2-3 bucks), Odric master tactician, Nobilis of War, Kazuul Tyrant of Cliffs, Duergar hedge-Mage, Blaze Commando, Archetype of Aggression, Hellrider, Obsidian Fireheart, Angelic Arbiter etc.... just to name a few... since you want to attack and abuse Iroas' protection, try to use emphasize creatures that do somehing when they either deal damage/attack.

Your instants have lots of same effects and many could be swapped to better ones... For burn, use Impact tremors(enchantment, but nice), Shock, Lightning Bolt and combat tricks that give your dudes extra, but be wary of the manacost... 5 mana for a +1/+1 boost for two steals a slot from stuff like Warleader's Helix and Searing spear. ALWAYS try to stick the effect on an instant, when possible. And you should drop Erase and put Disenchant there...

As for removal.... keep Tail slash, but take out Searing Light and ALL the spells that tap your creatures. On those slots, you can add Fall of the Hammer, Devouring Light, Swords to Plowshares(granted, it's 2,5 dollars) and Condemn. Add one other white spell that deals with a blocking/defending dude but try to find one that doesn't limit its power or toughness.

Artifacts look okay, but I'd take out Slayer's Cleaver, Spidersilk net and add Sunforger, Whispersilk cloak, Crawlspace and Hammer of Purphoros for haste. Enchantments can be taken all out and replaced by the kinds that benefit all your creatures. Fervor for Haste, Serra's Blessing for Vigilance and Gleam of Battle and Cathar's Crusade for +1+1 counters. Assemble the Legion for tokens. Oblivion Ring is rood pseudo-removal and then you can add an aura or two for your dudes to buff 'em. Curse of Stalked Prey is also good for battle shenanigans.

Oh... and number of creatures in a attack-heavy deck should exceed 30-33. Call the Gatewatch takes up a slot since you only have one Elspeth. Replace it with a Noble Purpose togain life during combat.

You can check what I've put in my decks for reference, but read the How to play's and descriptions first beacuse they are all different in mechanics and purposes. http://www.mtgvault.com/kintoki/ Sorry for long post...Hope it helped, even though I just basically told you to rebuild this from scratch. ^^

if your LGS will crack the upcoming Conspiracy boxes open and sell singles individually alongside packs , you should give a check to Adriana, the new RW legend... costs under a dollar and gets nasty with Aurelia the Warleader, whom you should by now be able to get with less than 4 dollars...
