So teleportal is your only sorcery, I don't think +1 and unblockable is quite worth needing two cards to play, or at least there are better solutions like instead of both cards, maybe just a playset of {Aqueous Form} (which also won't go away when the turn is over).

{Spellheart Chimera} is a good card, but it's not really worth playing until a little later in the game, so 4 of them seems a bit much.

I'm personally a fan of {Blistercoil Weird}, but as a one-drop with a not-totally-amazing ability, you could get away with bringing it down to 3.

So all that should free up space for other creatures/spells. Like burn and bounce spells. You'll be glad you did methinks

And maybe I'm just paranoid but with 2 colors, i wouldn't go as low as 21 total land
