Hi there! I noticed that you joined the Essential Magic community just yesterday, so welcome! Before anyone could help you reshape your deck, you must first employ e-Tags on your cards, so that everyone could see the cards' abilities just by rolling the cursor over them. I think no one would take much time on searching for each of your card out there to give you suggestions, thus you have to Use e-Tags. Basically, the Tag functions by typing [card]Reclaim[/card], which then appears as Reclaim Buy. Try it!

First, I would like to suggest that you construct your deck based on a format. It could be Standard, Extended, Modern, among others, but you have to choose only one legal format, so that you have a definite card pool. I realized that majority of your cards in the deck belong to Standard Magic sets. Thus I would make much of my suggestions relevant to making your deck Standard legal. Regarding this criterion, you have to remove (or move to the sideboard) the following cards: Stonebrow, Krosan Hero Buy, Mossbridge Troll Buy, Radha, Heir to Keld Buy, Traproot Kami Buy, Wall of Vines Buy, Mold Adder Buy, Overgrowth Buy, Vivid Grove Buy, Vivid Crag Buy, and Treetop Village Buy. These cards do not belong to any Standard legal sets, thus they should be out of the deck. If you are thinking that the aforementioned cards are really needed in the deck, you then have to refine the deck based on its theme. I noticed that you have some creatures/spells that have no synergy with the rest of the deck, or that seem useless under certain circumstances. I would like to point out these cards: Boneyard Wurm Buy, Gnaw to the Bone Buy and Spider Spawning Buy: Sine your deck isn't focused on dumping cards in your graveyard, and you have no other cards with Flashback, I strongly suggest that you remove these cards. Traproot Kami Buy and Wall of Vines Buy: Nobody really plays green creatures with Defender, because green creatures are huge and brave enough to attack, not to wait and defend. Mold Adder Buy: This is useless if your opponent plays a Non-Black or Non-Blue deck. You must choose cards with generic abilities, not color-specific abilities. Wurm's Tooth Buy, Bountiful Harvest Buy, Blunt the Assault Buy and Gnaw to the Bone Buy: Gaining life isn't really an option, especially if your deck is shaped in favor of huge creatures. Instead of life-gain cards, try to use mana-producing creatures like Llanowar Elves Buy, Fyndhorn Elves Buy, Skyshroud Elf Buy, and many others, to speed up your creature summoning and strengthen your board position. Lastly, use nonbasic lands that may help you carry out your strategy faster. such as Copperline Gorge Buy. Also include Kessig Wolf Run Buy to boost your creatures' power for a quicker assault.
