Try to focus Your deck more. It looks like you could go in a controll black direction. Use more copies of a single card. I'm going to list some good commons you most likely have, or could get for like ten cents each.

4 ravenous rats (hand destruction)
1 skittering skirge
4 skittering horror
2 looming shade
3 squirming mass
2 molting harpies

Better creatures:
Replace shade, sqirm, harpies with these
Phyrexian Negators, Phyrexian plaguelord, cateran enforcer if you have em.

4 Duress (hand destruction)
3 specters wail (hand destruction)

Use stupor instead if you have them. You now have 11 hand destruction, more than enough.

4 twisted experiment (creature pumper)
4 vendetta (creature removal)
1 attrition (creature removal)
1 no mercy Creature removal)

3 victimize

use yawgmoths will instad if you have it. Also if you have any powderkeg or massaceres put them in.

I hope this helps some.

I second Gizmo. Focus on black control, unless you have a trick up your sleeve in red. Use more of some of the same cards. I'd suggest adding in Mind Slash instead of some of the hand destruction. You'll be getting rid of your rats and skirges anyway. Throw in wide-range destruction (massacre, forced march). I'd use some more recurrence (I liked the victimize idea) and some big creatures (see gizmo's comments).

Duel,

I'm not Gizmo, but i'll take being mistaken for Him as a compliment.

I think it would be helpful for every one who submits a casual/non-Dojo deck to include what type of card pool we should make suggestions from. Otherwise everyone will be suggesting Masticore for every deck.

With this in mind, here are my suggestions:

-1 Sizzle
-2 Shower of Sparks
-1 Firebreath
-1 Goblin Hero
-1 Mons Goblin Raider
-2 Rampart Crawlers
-3 Squirming Mass
-3 Hand of Death
+2 Alley Grifters
+1 Caterean Enforcer
+1 Highway Robber
+1 Haunted Crossroads
+2 Snuff Out
+4 Shock/Seal of Fire/Parch
+2 Rathi Intimidator
+1 Orgg/Phrexian Plaguelord
(Newwave.org has a lot of good cards on blow out sale. Plaguelord is like $2.50 right now.)

Good luck,
Erik
