As a casual deck, it's okay. As something to bring to FNM is another story. For example:
- All your creatures cost too much. Faster decks will kill you before any of your big creatures drop. By then it's too late, even with lifgain.
- Speaking of lifegain, it doesn't mean much at all when your opponent can deal more damage than you can heal.
- Your removals cost too much. Cards like Murderous Cut, Hero's Downfall, Banishing Light, etc. is better.
- 21 lands would be too little when you run cards that cost 7 CMC. It needs at least 25 for that. Also, you have to decide if you're doing aggro, midrange, or control. It looks like you're trying to do midrange.
So I took you idea and turned it into a more aggressive version of what your original list did. It's a lot lower to the ground so you'd be much less likely to get blown out by super fast aggressive decks like what you'd encounter at FNM. Idk what your budget for this deck is but this list definitely wouldn't break the bank. Enjoy!
