10 land is still really low. I would add a playset of  {Scalding Tarn}.
I like this idea because it thins the deck so you can hit more cantrips and are more likely going infinite

You're right, it does thin. However I usually only play 1-2 lands the whole game and there's a very small chance that those first 2 lands would be the {Scalding Tarn}s. The thinning that it would provide would be negligible because when/if I need to pop my {Elixir of Immortality} for a reshuffle the {Scalding Tarn}s would get shuffled back in. To be honest I'd rather draw into the lands and hold them in my hand and use them for {Faithless Looting} fodder.

I hate this deck, it's just bad and it's posted every week!

How is it bad? It's no more fragile than any other storm deck and TBH it's more fun to play.

1. Usualy it's just to slow in getting both combo pieces.
2. If your opponent has just 1 removal, you lose.

In answer to 1. Is it any faster to get the combo pieces than Eggs? Or normal Storm? Or Splinter Twin? I've played them all and they are by far MUCH slower.

In answer to 2 you are assuming that thy didn't play anything on their turn, that they have the removal, and that I don't have {mizzium skin}/{dispel}/{izzet charm} from my sideboard in my hand. (Which I do I just didn't list the sideboard because I didn't think I had to.)
1. You misunderstood my point.
I wanted to say that the percentage of drawing both of your combo pieces is to slow. Not the turns in which you could win.

2. You have always to wait one turn when you cast the creature cause of summoning sickness. Then they can handle it in their own turn.

And the percentage is better than in splinter twin? A deck which has little in the way of draw? This deck is packing so much draw that I can almost always find the missing half in 2-3 turns tops.

{crimson wisps} provides haste so if I do draw it T3+ then I can pay 3 mana to play him equip him and give him haste. I have done this on multiple occasions.

I have this built in paper. It frequently wins at local tournaments 4-1. I'd never play this in MTGO, it takes too long to go through the GUI and cantrip through the deck.

4-1 in an uncompetitive environment, sure that's not dificult. Play a ptq or gp trial.

Well guys, calm down lol. If he has the deck, went 4-1 with it, then it is good. Like hell, I go 1-4 with decks that I find on the Internet. It is not how good or bad it looks, but how you play it.
