OK... So I joined Magic 3 weeks ago, and got bored and decided to construct my own deck because I'm sick of Death Fed... I don't know what to call this deck and I'm not even sure I'm posting this in the right area So if I'm not could a mod move it to the correct place? loll... but its mainly white, if someone could tell me how to improve or what kind it is or what it should be called please tell me... But its mono white and I'm not changing/adding any colors cause I like white
The deck you've got is standard, not extended (although, its also extended legal - but no one really plays extended). You might want to post in that forum.
Also if you use deck tags below (replace the {} with []) and add number of card and name of card (as per e.g.) it makes hyperlinks to all the cards.
{deck}
4 Hero of bladehold
21 Plains
{/deck}
What are your goals for the deck? Do you have a budget?

It seems that you aren't quite familiar with the concept of "Magic formats". I suggest you read parts 1-3 of Auja windur's guide to DCI sanctioned formats, particularly part 3E starting from "Innistrad block". That should open your eyes, and clear up where to post as well
Note that the guide needs to be reorganized somewhat to reflect recent changes in organized play.
I would just focus on fine tuning the deck a bit. If you just started, then you probably don't have 4x of all of those cards in your list, but if you want to make it better and more consistent, just take a look at the cards that don't do much and see if you can pick up some of the better options.
I'll give a couple of examples:
Oblivion Ring VS Demystify -- Oblivion Ring used to be a Common in an older set, so you should be able to find them fairly easily. While Demystify is absolutely better at dealing specifically with Enchantments, Oblivion Ring deals with Enchantments, too, as well as every other type of non-land card. It's great for taking out a Planeswalker you can't manage to kill with combat damage, etc.
I'd say there really isn't much of a reason to run Demystify in a deck, so I would go:
-2 Demystify
+2 Oblivion Ring
Also, you have a decent amount of cards that have a converted mana cost (the cost of all colorless and colored mana symbols in the card's casting cost) of 4 or more. That being the case, having only 21 land probably isn't that great of an idea. If you want to consistently be able to cast spells like Hero of Bladehold and Gideon, you should probably look at playing at least around 24 land (24 land is 40% land in a 60 card deck, so it usually can get you to 4 or 5 land drawn by Turn 5).
Other than that, just apply the same basic idea to other cards in your deck. Which cards do well in your deck? Should you be running 4 of those? What cards fill a similar role, but aren't quite as good?
Play with your deck enough and you'll figure these things out on your own. The key to getting better is really just playing a lot and not being afraid to ask questions about the rules when you're not sure.

Thanks I only got 1 of those in my box but I will go early and buy some more of those tonight
And the reason I had the demystify in there was because I didn't have anything else cheap that could destroy things and I only had 1 O ring. And Last FMN My Deck Got Slaughtered Before I remodeled It

Lol what's with all the new players posting in the extended forums? Can we get rid of this format already?
I like Extended. Its what I like to play the most. Its not as big as Legacy or Modern but it isn't near as limited as Standard. I like having more than like ...3 possible deck stratagies that win. But I do like not having to have cards that are older than my car.......
