I'm fairly new to building decks and Magic in general, so I would appreciate feed back and advice on this deck.

In order to have a chance to play any of your cards, you need to run mana producers. Elven Mystic, Sylvan Carytaid, Frontier Seige, etc. These cards allow to to have more mana available to cast your big spells sooner. And you probably only need 24 land tops. Some control decks will run more, but your deck will want to put down some early mana guys, and then play some big monsters. It's akin to using the Cruicble of Spirits or the Nykthos. Those lands help but you still need the early guys to give you that quick start. Additionally, when you build a deck, the cards that do the most of what you want should have 4 copies in the main deck- well, at least 3. This increases the chance you draw them. For example, Stormbreath Dragon is probably one of the better cards in the format right now- 4\4 flying, haste, pro white, AND has a monstrous ability ? For 5 mana? That's a really good card... you'll probably want to see him every game. Run 4 of him. On the other hand, by comparison, the Shivan dragon is a 5\5 flyer for 6 that can do more damage for each R you pay- not as good. Maybe you take the Shivan Dragon count down by 2 and add 2 more of the Stormbreath Dragon. And typically speaking, you want a maximum of 60 cards in the deck. Those are some deck building basics- different decks will be built differently, but if I were just getting started with deck building, I would try and keep things simple.
