Welcome to the forums!
I would read the prerelease primer http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/179 and this article http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/li/179.
I would also try to push your deck in some archetypes if you have the cards for them - for example, if you get a {Ghoultree} and {Boneyard Wurm}, then I would seriously consider going into U/G self-mill.
Oke, pre-release event is over and i think i didn't do that bad for a first timer.
I came in 12 place out of 44 players. So my question now is: What do you guys
think of the deck i played? Should i have done anything different? If so what

Seems like a pretty solid deck. I would've guessed a top 16 placing for it if you didn't tell me. You had three solid parts that are good for limited formats, mana fixing, big creatures and evasion.
Not half bad, it was my first sealed tourney as well and I finished top 8 (I had {vorapede} and {Olivia voldaren} in my deck)
