All input appreciated though, thanks!

http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=379721 This is one that I just made a few days ago. It's a Red/Blue Burn/Beatdown deck built around Talrand and "blinking" creatures with enter the battlefield effects. Also, please check out my other decks and let me know what you think. I'm a purely casual player, so keep that in mind.
I've been working on an EDH variation, but I just can't seem to end up with something satisfying. In my current draft of this one, I have two Myr Galvanizers and Iron and Silver Myrs for the infinite mana. I've been working on this deck since I started the game, so I'll likely never be satisfied with it, haha.
I've thought about it, in my oldest draft of this, I did. I've been meaning to re-build it for a while, especially since Core 13. Thanks for reminding me about that, it was my first Leyline.
Thanks for the critique. I will say this, though: there are more than three cards that make people discard. Guul Draz Specter, Needle Specter, Mind Sludge, Unnerve, Painful Quandary, Tsabo's Decree and Wit's End. The specters and Quandaries allow for continuous discard and/or damage. Also, ideally, I usually am able to Tutor for Caged Sun, which basically doubles my mana, and allows me to effectively use most of my stuff. Call to the Netherworld is there in case one of my important creatures, like Sangromancer, dies. I've been meaning to try to get more cards with Madness costs so that I can level up Liliana without having to lose stuff from my hand. Leyline of the Void is there to deal with the massive amount of people that I play with having full play sets of Elixir of Immortality, or reanimation, as well as dealing with the people who play Eldrazi or Dark/Blightsteel Collossi. I think my removal is okay, really. Like I said, I build these decks to play against people I know, I'm purely casual, so I know what to expect from 90% of them. Massacre Wurm is for swarms, as are Contagion Engine, Killing Wave, and Black Sun's Zenith. Curse of Death's Hold helps as well. When Core 13 hits, I'll be banking on getting the new Liliana, which will definitely help with the mana generation. The Lilis are probably the biggest reasons for the Contagion Engine, since it'll allow me to level them up fairly quickly. I get that having multiples of stuff increases the chances of me drawing them, but I've never really liked relying on a single strategy. It feels too boring and easy to counter. But, that's just my opinion on it. It's just not my style. Like I said, I'm just a casual, though, so my opinion probably doesn't count for much in the grand scheme of things.
I do have a commander variant that I've been meaning to upload. To be honest, this deck has gone through changes since this version. I'll make the changes in just a bit so it'll be more current.
Either general beatdown with the dragons, flashback everything with Burning Vengeance, NIv-Mizzet with Curiosity.
Very nice. I don't usually like token decks, but I dig this one. Grafdigger's Cage completely shuts down one of my decks. Can be such a nasty card. Based on your replies, I assume you own all these cards. It seems a lot of folks just do net-decking on here, haha. Maybe you could check out some of my decks? I'm a purely casual player, so there's nothing "tournament quality" there, but they win enough against my friends.
I'm a purely casual player, myself. I really dig this idea. I'm not usually fond of infinite combos, since they usually are kinda boring and can be pretty easy to counter, most of the time. This one is interesting since there's more to it than just one move. I hate to be an ad whore, but would you mind taking a look at some of my decks and telling me what you think?
Cool ramp. It's not really my style, but it seems like it plays really well.
This is my Blue/Red deck. Made it after hearing about the Return to Ravnica block. It's been undergoing some changes.

Nicely done. Do you own all this? I bet it's really fun to play.
Also, in a few cases, that's all I own.
I simply liked each of these cards and don't like relying on certain ones. I find that most decks I've seen with full playsets of cards are kinda boring and can be easy to counter. But, that's just my personal opinon. Other than that, how did you find the deck?
Thanks. Like I said, I kinda threw it together in an hour. I ended up taking out a Viscera Seer and a couple of lands and adding in a Zombie Goliath and Grave Titan. If/when I can get them, I'll also be adding at least one more Liliana's Caress and a Sorin's Vengeance.
