Your problem is pretty easy to see. You're running a bad Faeries list. Cut stuff like Glen Elendra Liege and Oona in exchange for Vendilion Clique and Broken Ambitions/Agony Warp/Remove Soul. The Ponders should be Jaces. You know what, just check out the competitive Fae list at the top of this forum (I'm too lazy to post a link.)

yeah i guess u can say taht .. but its even worse not drawing them wen u got 6 mana and 2 leiges on the field .. which would maake Oonas fairies 5/5's ..
i have never had use for the Agony Warps .. those are out
the broken ambitions i will def. give a try though.
remove soul worth it?? .. instead of just throwing the Cancels back in?
and Vendilion instead on Oona? .. Oona has been my whole fairy army maker ..
I drop my ponders on my first turn .. since i gives me some choices to work with wen my opponents already got a Figure on the field..
and keep 4 pestermites or take 2 out for 2 vendilion cliques?
and if this works just let me know .. or tell me what to keep .. any suggestions are appreciated .. being that i was having mad fun with my pumped up oona fairies .. but .. i wanna win !
my only other idea:
dont switch the oona's for remove soul and instead put the remove souls in for the leiges and dont use the broken ambitions ..
and in exchange .. take 2 oona's out for 2 vendilion cliques .. ? .. or is that too many legendarie creatures in one deck?
Well Vendilion is better than Pestermite. Depending on your meta, Remove Soul may actually be better as Agony Warp. Find room for Thoughtseize too, if possible.

Now I am by no means an authority on anything except getting my butt kicked when it comes to Faeries. This list is just not optimized. The strength of Faeries comes in having the ability to play nearly everything at instant speed in the deck. That being said, you do not have enough non-creature spells. You need Agony Warp/Nameless Inversion, Ponder should definitely be Jace Beleren. Remove Soul is your friend in the early game. Thoughtseize as well if you can afford it. Running 4 Oona, Queen of the Fae is 3-4 too many. My deck only runs 1 and that's the card I'm looking to cut first. The Lieges just aren't that good.
Looking at your mana base, there is definitely room for improvement. 2 different (for a total of 8) CiPT lands just too many. The usual mana base involves Underground Rivers, Mutavaults (apparently coming down in price) and Sunken Ruins. If you run any of the Alara lands, run Arcane Sanctum since it can open you to a white splash with other filter lands like Mystic Gate.
It sounds like you are focusing too much on using Oona's ability to create your tokens, hopefully you have at least 1-2 Bitterblossoms on the table before that happens. I've found Oona to simply be a win-more card than a game breaker.
i have never had use for the Agony Warps .. those are out
And you wonder why you're losing against Kithkin? That's one of your best cards in that matchup. Early on it's like a Lightning Helix, killing one attacker while preventing three damage from another (essentially gaining you three life). Later, if you have something to block with, it might as well read "Destroy two target kithkin". You're getting killed by Figure, right? Use your Agony Warp when they try to pump him to a 4/4. Then you'll get both a card and you'll have caused them to waste three mana.
thanks for all the help everyone .. .. i realized i def. need major improvements .. gunna take a while to smooth out .. so for now im gunna enter the tournaments with my burn deck .. if u can .. post on my burn deck with improvements for that one too ..
thanks again

I would hate to have multiples of those in hand waiting to be played, while an aggro deck is beating face.
i have never had use for the Agony Warps .. those are out
the broken ambitions i will def. give a try though.
remove soul worth it?? .. instead of just throwing the Cancels back in?

Switching:
2 Ponders = 2 Jaces
4 Oona's = 4 Remove Souls
4 Leiges = 4 Broken Ambitions
and keep 4 pestermites or take 2 out for 2 vendilion cliques?

With so few counterspells... you're playing faerie like it's an aggro deck, and it isn't.
It's a broken, exploited tempo deck that can control the pace of the game with control and countermagic.
you've got the BB's and stuff, just go find a top8 decklist.
OH AND FOR THE LOVE OF PETE THROW IN A HAMMERRRR!!!

I wish you luck, OP. You asked for help, but faeries is a distinct and powerful archetype... you just have to follow the guidelines.
