Deck discussion for American Elistism

this would work better as an izzet deck.
use cyclops as a blocker. get 4 goblin electromancers. get removals, keep the detention sphere and silence.
get 4 elitists. then tag the detention sphere to 1 arcanist. and silence on another.
then get cards like uncovered clues/divination to dig into your deck.
get 2 life elixers so u can shuffle ur deck.
get more mortars as a field sweeper, then cherry-tap the opponent into oblivion with ur 1/1 elementals while triggering silence to turn-lock them.

other than that find a way to protect your elitists. maybe add cards like voidwalk or hexproof.

Elite arcanist has a cool ability and all, but it's still a 1/1 for 4 mana. One shock and it's dead. If you can put a counter spell on it then you could protect it, but that means you'd have to have 4 mana to play it, and 3 to 2 mana to protect it with the counter flux/izzet charm you put on it. Also, it gives people the chance to two for one. If you play it and then they kill it before you find a use for the instant or sorcery you put on it then they've just gained a massive advantage. I know this kind of budget, but i feel there could be something better in it's place. Either that or you could go with what bloodinmykhorneflakes said, add some protection spells other than boros charm to protect it. Fortify could do the job against red, but not black, blue and white (don't have to worry about green so much). Maybe mizzium skin would be good instead of the fortifies?

try running a few unblockables like invisible stalker and cipher Hidden strings with it so u can untap 2 mana every time it deals damage. Might help with the expensive cards.
