Hey guys i have recently just gotten back into playing magic and i have made a deck but i think it needs work, please give your critisism and help with opinions on cards you think i need or dont need in there. My deck currently is a red/green multikicker deck consisting of 65 cards. the deck is as follows: Land18x forest  10x Mountain  Creatures1x Leatherback Beloth  1x Dungrove Elder  1x Wolfbriar Elemental  1x Terastodon  1x Giant spider  1x Greenweaver Druid  2x Borderland Ranger  2x Gnarlid Pack  3x Llanowar Elves  2x Grappler Spider  1x Skitter of lizards  1x Goblin Roughrider  1x Deathforge shaman  2x Crimson Mage  Spells1x Fireball  1x Fling  1x Comet Storm  1x Act of treason  1x Canopy Cover  2x Overrun  2x Vastwood Zendikon  2x Giant Growth  1x Titanic Growth  2x Lightning Bolt  1x Rumbling Aftershocks  2x Rampant Growth  The reason i have so much mana in this deck is purely to increase the effects of my multikickers, the Llanowar Elves and the Greenweaver Druid are just there to pump out creatures without touching my mana so it can be used for multikickers. Rumbling Aftershocks is pretty much what makes my deck work. Damage for every time i kick really works well with how much mana i have. I was thinking of putting another one in aswell. Please give your opinions, i really need some help.

what do you mean not legal? i bought all these cards in decks from a store last week. then i mixed them and made a deck.
i was going for raw damage yes.
i was only going to be playing against friends anyway so it wouldnt really matter if it wasnt legal right?
do you have any ideas on cards that i could put in?

Allow me a bit of clarity here. When I say not Standard legal, I mean not allowed for Standard format tournaments. If all you're doing is casual play, you might have better luck on the Casual forum.
As far as stuff you could switch, well...if tourney legality isn't an issue, I'd say simply fix your mana curve. The mana curve in my Vampire deck, for example, consists of:
4 1-mana creatures
8 2-mana creatures
8 3-mana creatures, and
3 4-mana creatures.
The problem is, most of the critters you have are 3 to, well, 8 mana. so I'd imagine it takes a while to get to some of them, yes?
Swapping a few things out for a better, smoother mana curve will help, immensely. I know, believe me. 
I'd say...
4 Llanowar Elves
Keep your 3 Skitter of Lizards  , since it's a dual color deck. That takes care of one-drops.
2-mana:
I'd say go with Gnarlid Pack x4 and 4 Crimson Mage . The MAge's haste ability might be helpful.
3-mana:
4 Borderland Ranger and maybe even 4 Civic Wayfinder  . The Greenweaver Druid is Ok, but she's no game changer. The other guys give you lands and keep a blocker open.
For reachy stuff, I'd say Blightwidow  . Same mana cost as Giant Spider, same P/T, plus infect? He rocks.
4+mana:
Deathforge Shaman  is a good one, and so is Terastodon . Dungrove Elder might be worth adding, too, since you're so Forest heavy. This is clearly a creature heavy deck, but hopefully that'll help you out some.

Thank you. so are you telling me to remove the other creatures, and just have the ones you recomended, so that they come up more frequently?
instead of having cards that i only have 1 of?
so i take out everything you didnt say?

That would be the suggestion. And, since you'd be dropping a lot of your Mulitkicker creatures, you could tone down your manabase a bit, too. Maybe a bit more like 12 of each, or 10 Mountain and 14 Forest?
I hope that helped~!
Also, note that when I was talking about your 3-mana creatures, I'd personally say pick two of them, and have a whole set of 4 of those two. I just listed some of my ideas for the kinds you could pick. I myself, would probably go for the Borderlands Ranger  and the Civic Wayfinder . They'll help you get out mana more reliably.
And finally, for the 4+ mana creatures, the ones I listed? One of each would be best, I think.
