Thanks for the replies!
Elpablo, you are sorta of just changing the entire theme of my deck, while i respect your suggestions and definitely see the strength, switching to a RW agro deck just isn't something im looking to do as of right now, but will try in the future. And as a new player I can't drop 150 bucks on a few cards just to change up my strategy to something else.
Shadowsmiles42(what does "You have multiple plays that require WW or BB T3-T4" mean?), If i did have more vizkopa guildmages or High Priest of Penance, I think i would add it. though I do like just having that sanguine bond for my next point. In case you missed my next combo which i forget to mention was my backup plan. The bubbling cauldron sacrificing a creature(first) gets me a 4/4 flying angel out. Then at the end of my opponents turn I can sack that angel gain 4 life re introduce that angel and continue play. If i have 2 angelic accords out I would get 2 angels and gain 4 life for each tapping/1mana of Bubbling Cauldron. So if I am not getting to my combo and getting blitz my agro decks by midgame I am producing 4/4 angels and gaining 4 life. Keep in mind if i keep doing this combo with sanguin bond im pinging for 4 while createing my token army. I dont feel like i would have 3 spare mana with vizkopa guidmage each turn to do this, hence why i lean more towards the enchanements over the vizkopa guildemage.
Not sure about the xathrid just because my deck doesnt have too many humans especially in play,and i rarely will ever be blocking with them.
I do like sideboarding my indestructibility untill game 2 and try to substitute 2 more cards in game 1 to get a better combo out faster and safer.
And i do agree, looks like its time to trade for those dual lands!

Topic: My First Ever Competitive Deck(STD) (7 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Hey guys just got into magic a few months ago and i want to try to compete at tournaments. I really enjoy this theme so i got a few cards from half a booster box and after a few hours of play testing, tweaking, and trading this is my final deck.
The goal of this deck is to proc the infinite Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood combo. In case you are not familar with it it goes:
Sanguine Bond : "Whenever you gain life, target opponent loses that much life."
Exquisite Blood : "Whenever an opponent loses, life you gain that much life."
From what I have been told tournament level decks are FAST and can kill you by turn 4-5 easy. So my deck is full of ways to deal with creatures and to keep a small battlefield until my combo rolls out and wins me the game. Mostly kill spells. I play to just absorb any red burn spells and I have enough copies of cards to withstand control decks. My biggest fear is from decks so fast I cant get my combo up. I have also added a bit of card draw "Underworld Connections" and anti aggression card. Any suggestions or discussions about it would really make my day.
Thanks for reading! 
p.s. I have no clue what to sideboard to counter either what others or doing, or to counter my counters.
