Any aggro would destroy it

Yeah a turn 1 {Delver of Secrets} would prolly be an instant win.

You need more ramp. You have expensive fatties and nothing really before that. Add a {psychosis crawler} since it seems drawing is a key.

I don't get it are you making a deck to help introduce first timers to magic? So functionality or at least the ability to win takes a back seat to demonstrating core elements of the game?

What do you mean?

If you are using this to teach n00bs, I'd avoid throwing hybrid mana, cascade, flash, and other crazy stuff at them so they can get a better handle on fundamental concepts like playing mana, attacking and block, etc.

And I don't think power-level needs to be a real concern.

Green stompie is the best way to teach noobs in my opinion.

I think White Weenie and RDW are good too.

Once they get the hang of it, I would recomend some of the duel decks series as good ways to introduce them to how different cards interact and how you can play cards at different times, etc.
