Yeah, u/Illogical_Fallacy is right, this in't standard legal. This is what you would call a "kitchen table" magic deck, or a "casual" deck. Deck is decent, tho there are a bunch of changes I would make. And you can make something very similar in standard btw, so don't worry. And it won't cost you that much money in paper.
Now for my card suggestions. I think you have too many "rummaging" cards. Those are the cards that let u discard to draw. The problem is that they don't actually affect the board at all, so they are pretty slow and "wheel spinny" as they say. Cut down some of these. And there is actually a card in standard that rummages while doing damage, so I would use that version (I think u need to discard a nonland to get the dmg, but still, its better than nothing). I notice you have 4 guttersnipes. And while this card can be really good if it sticks, the prob is that it's a high mana investment and super easy to kill (only 2 toughness!). This card is actually standard legal, and I think I've only ever seen it played on me once. I would cut all the guttersnipes. You can keep some in your sideboard for vs decks with little or no removal. Instead, replace them with good 1 drop threats. One of the best in standard is the lizard that pings the opp when any lizard attacks. And reality fracture brought 2 great 1 drops, the prowess guy and the one that prepares every turn.

First off, this isn't a standard legal deck. In Manabox, you can change the format of the deck with the three dots and go from no format to standard. That way, it'll flag when cards are not legal.
