You know since flying is just about your one weakness here, put in gravity well instead of giant growth and this deck with be even more of a power house. But i definitely like it so far. 9.0!

Put in llanowar elves! its going to help you a lot with mana early in the game. Even for a green deck you might have to many high cost creatures. Garruk's companion is a really great two mana card for a deck like this.
hm kargan dragonlord doesn't seem really good for a burn deck. I think it will slow you down trying to level it up, and your opponents will probably just use removal on it before you can get it to level 8. The point of burn is to be fast and kill your opponent before they have a chance to really get going. Also i think chandra ablaze is a bit better than chandra nalaar. Although that's just my opinion. Dragonmaster outcast also seems meh, If i were you i would sub out dragon lord and dragonmaster for either some direct damage creatures(like ball lightning) or direct damage spells.
no day of judgment?
thanks for the suggestion
kabira crossroads? fits the life gain theme. Also you should put in whispersilk cloak or brave the elements, because some could easily just use removal on your pridemate. If pridemate is your win condition then you need to protect it, I could see a mono black deck that runs 4 doomblades and 4 feast of bloods easily killing your pridemates. Plus if you add in whispersilk then its unblockable which puts those +1 counters to very good use, and stops removal. Whispersilk would be sick if you managed to do ajani's last ability. Easily a game winner.
My advice is not to buy too many premade decks. One or two is okay if your just starting out but you can save money buying single magic cards instead and that way you make sure you get the ones you want. Cardkingdom.com and ebay are good places to buy singles. You can also see if they sell singles at your local comic/card game store. I know of a few decks that actually do come with planeswalkers, one is called "Duel Decks Garruk vs. Liliana" it comes with two planeswalkers. Also "duel decks: elspeth vs. tezzeret." that ones not out yet i believe but it comes out soon. I think you should invest in one of those. They cost $20, but they come with 2 decks. Naturally it will take you awhile to build a good collection since you just started playing, but Deckbuilders toolkit is also very good for new players, you could look into that. Try just buying four aura gnarlids on the internet they're pretty cheap, you can probably buy all 4 for about $1. Good cards to put in the deck that you already have would be mammoth umbra, and maybe whispersilk cloak or armored ascension.
Why do you say standard? your running cabal coffers and mirri the cursed, both of which have veen out of standard for awhile. Also, pretty soon sanguine bond won't be standard either.
okay i thought of something to help you out building decks. i'll give you a theme to build a deck off of and then you post your idea. It doesn't matter if you don't actually own the cards or not, just look for cards in the database of this site or somewhere else if you want. Here's the theme: Green and White Auras. An easy theme for a new player and you can make a pretty powerful deck if you do it right. Here's a hint: Use aura gnarlid as the card you base your deck off of.
Now that's an interesting idea. I'll sideboard that for now, though im not really sure what i would take out for it. thanks for the suggestion though.
Okay well first of all if you are new to the game you need to know one very important thing about building magic decks, which is that every good deck needs to have something that it's good at and focuses on. For example a deck that focuses on life gain, or direct damage, or something like that. One tip i think will help is that you should generally avoid cards like siege mastadon or assault griffin because they are creatures that have no abilities and usually you can find another similar card with an ability that helps out your deck. The reason it's bad to have just one of every card is that, you really have no idea what your going to draw, and therefore you don't really have a gameplan. You need to focus your deck down to a much smaller amount of creatures and just put in more than 1 of each of them. Also if you look at your mana curve you see that you don't have very many low cost cards in comparison to all your mid to high cost cards. This means your going to have trouble getting started and your opponent may already have won because you didn't have the mana you needed to get out your creatures. My suggestion is to look at the cards in your deck, find one you really like, and then build a deck around it by finding other cards that work well with it. To be honest, that's how i(and most people) get ideas for building great decks. Since you're new you're probably going to have to do some research to find the cards you need but eventually you will get familiar with them. Try just browsing around and looking at other peoples decks for awhile then maybe you will get an idea on how to make a good one. Remember: you usually don't want just one of a card in a deck, and you need to find a theme for your deck. Good luck.
This seems like a pretty good tactic. Also Birds of paradise would be good for getting mana to summon lord of extinction and nemesis of reason quickly. I would get rid of gift of the deity for b.o.p. even though gift of the deity is good it will take awhile to use it and if you can just manage to whispersilk your lord of extinction odds are it would end your opponent pretty quickly. Lastly i think you should sideboard maelstrom pulse incase your have trouble with your opponents generating a lot of tokens or something like that. Good luck, i like what you have so far.
Hmm... that mana curve looks pretty rough. You should go with birds of paradise. They do wonders in a 3 color deck like this. Maybe you should try preordain or ponder instead of forsee, it's less card draw but only costs one mana, and since you've got crystal ball you'll end up scrying anyway. good luck with it!
oh yeah end up putting in the birds of paradise. i would take out 2 llanowar elves and the archdruid, since the b.o.p serve the same purpose but do it a little better.
Damn you're really luck to have gotten two primevals, a grave, and a fost titan in booster packs like that! 3 more birds of paradise would really help out a ton. I know you don't really want to buy singles, but they seem worth it for this deck. They're about $3.00 online which is a little pricey but not too bad compared to a $40+ primeval titan.
too many high cost cards, and too many one-ofs, focus it down more. Although if its for casual play i understand, but its highly unlikely that you'll ever get enough mana to cast emrakul.
hmmm... your mana curve is a bit rough, i would say take out 1 or 2 of each planeswalker and add white knight and/or sigiled paladin to lower it.
You know i really like this deck. It's refreshing! 8.5! tell me what you think of mine
Add verdant catacombs! also i would think with a deck based on landfall, you should have 4 grim discovery. Maybe you could scrap consuming vapors for it. Consuming vapors doesn't really seem work that well in the deck. It also raises the mana curve. I think you should take out all 3 consuming vapors, and replace one with grim discovery and 2 with llanowar elves, you might make more room for 4 llanowar elves by getting rid of 2 duress, and i would definitely add harrow to this deck. good luck
