As with the other deck, {Dig Through Time}. Also {Goblin Rabblemaster} or {Brimaz, King of Oreskos} as early win cons

I believe you are over relying on draw spells you will often draw into your lands/more draw while dying to things currently on the board id add slightly more spot removal to help you live turns 2-4 while you're building up your dominance.

{devouring light} in conjunction with main board Rams may be something worth looking into.

Also, you have only three untapped lands. That will theoretically keep you a turn behind severely hurting you on the draw not as dramatically on the play.

For instance you are playing more often then not a turn 3 ram and a turn 4 divination eliminating your chances to counter severely with tapped lands. Where as aggro will likely swarm through you.

I imagine the intent is the life gain shore up the mana count into a decent split of untapped and tapped investigate {radiant fountain} although coloirless it's an untapped +2 etb trigger.
