you might be able to do 3 colors casually with guild gates but really you want the rare lands to help with mana.
Best suggestion is to trade off some of your cards to get some multiples of others. Looks like you have some decent white cards. Start there. Try going mono white. You want to get some 4 of's in the deck to help smooth things out, right now you're going to have trouble drawing and playing your cards consistently, that can be frustrating even casually.
Trying going with some cheap creatures like Boros Elite, Champion of the parish, Daring Skyjack, Frontline medic. do a white aggro deck.
10x for your reply elpablo. So you're saying to renounce even at the "Extort" mechanics?
Anyway this really makes me think, it makes sense what you say, to do a deck only with decent cards . I thought that a deck is stronger if you have a lot of different mechanics to play with, thats why I try to make a 3 colors deck (gain life, removal, draw cards, etc).
If you try to do a little of everything your deck will excel at nothing...
There's nothing particulalry wrong with extort it just takes a lot of setup. It could work casually but isn't a particularly stron mechanoc outside of limited formats.
10x for all the info. It's really hard at the beginning to construct a good FNM deck. I don't have a lot of good cards and I try to combine the best of them. I'm thinking to buy a duel deck or event deck and use the white cards that I have to build a real competitive deck . Do you have such a deck in mind (event/duel)?
if you want white cards the red white event deck (forgot the name) has some good cards, thalia, silverblade, clifftop retreat. If you can find one at MSRP ($20-25) then the cards inside are really good value for the money.
In my experience, most FNMs (depending on your area) are at least moderately competitive. You'll see at least a couple top tier decks and probably some tier 2 decks that will give the top tiers something to think about. I know people in my area use FNM as a training/testing ground for their PTQ and SCG Open decks. So just tapper your expectations if you show up with a home brewed deck or a netdeck that's not finished.
also the cost can look overwhelming, but in the long run it is theoretically cheaper to buy single cards if you want to build a specific deck. opening packs will get you some things and things to trade, but will be a more significant investment, I only buy packs when I don't know what I want, or just want to scratch that itch
If your intrested in an event deck theres two ways you can go. The first is Rally and Rout and is a Red White event deck from Gatecrash. It has a lot of fast aggroish creatures. The second is the new Strength of Selesnya from Dragon maze. Its a Green White with a splash of black token deck. The nice thing about the second one is one of the rares is a duel land that will help you with your mana issues.
Either one of these would work with your current list of cards to smooth out some things to make it consistant. If I were to choose one I would go with the Selesnya.
Here are the links.

its the second one on the list, just scroll down.

Hope this helps
Scott-
rally and rout is the red/white deck I mentioned. Thanks to scott for knowing the name. I forgot is has a champion of the parish in it. Those are good as well.
I disagree a little with the token deck. It's not really an "aggro" deck, and the cards in it are used in constructed deck archetypes that I would try to stay away from as a new player.
Thanks for your reply Scott. So, as elpablo said, the conclusion is that I should construct a deck with simpler mechanics (white aggro) which is more easier to play with.
I agree with you, it's a very good thing to do....but....I'm not really into the aggro decks, I don't know yet the "constructed deck archetypes" but I think I would try to play in my deck with more interesting mechanics, even if I lose a lot on the road.
So I hope you won't be upset with me cause I'm a little stubborn and I wont follow your advice.
PS: I got for my deck 2 new cards (Obzedat's aid and Azorius charm) 
223 (99%)
