It's not the time for a burn-based deck. There's too much incidental life gain. When your opponent starts at 30, your Spears are really Shocks - and as Z said, Shock is not a good card in this deck.
I'm definitely interested in this sort of deck post-rotation, assuming the environment will be more hospitable.
Lots of question marks to fill in the curve, but we'll see what Theros provides. Some of the candidate cards depend on how creature-focused this deck ends up being.
The sideboard is rough, but I'm going to blame that on building it while putting on my shoes.
The deck had a few nice things going on (other than the obvious Champion curve-outs or free wins from Geist):
Sublime Archangel + either Lavinia or Cartel Aristocrat can force a ton of damage through a board stall.
Lavinia is obviously awesome against aggro, but more subtly awesome against decks with mana dorks. Holding off an Angel of Serenity by detaining Pilgrims and Elves is a thing that happens.
The card power level is high enough to fight through multiple Verdicts/Terminus against UWx. This is particularly true post-sideboard, when you can sideboard out things like Champion for more impactful cards.
Going forward, Thalia definitely needs to be in the main deck. She's good against everyone.
With a few tweaks (and a reworked sideboard) this deck could be a reasonable option. Have fun if you try it.

Cutting Cartel Aristocrat is always wrong.
