Creatures. 2 x Leaden Myr  4 x Myr Battlesphere  4 x Myr Galvanizer  4 x Palladium Myr  2 x Silver Myr  Spells. 2 x Cranial Plating  2 x Mana Leak  2 x Mirrorworks  2 x Myr Reservoir  2 x Myr Turbine  2 x Prototype Portal  2 x Semblance Anvil  4 x Parallel Lives  4 x Rampant Growth  Plainswalker. 2 x Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas  Land. 4 x Evolving Wilds  8 x Forest  4 x Island  4 x Swamp  This deck is very slow at the moment, and I am not sure what I could put in that could be both useful and mana effecient. I am looking to practice in more non tornament standard matches before moving onto actual tornament play. But this deck seems far too slow to be effective. The idea of the deck is to win using one of two methods, first using the Battle Spheres and Parrallel lives together to overpowere the opponett in sheer number of myr tokens. This method is a bit harder than the second one to pull off, but if done sucessfully it usually will kill someone. The problem is its just takes too long, and with my lack of early play will make it even harder to pull off. The other win condition would be using Tezzets final ability with either Myr Turbines + Parrallel lives, or mirror works + Parrallel lives. This relies completely on token myrs, something that are fairly easy to destroy by anyone that uses a mass removal. I understand this deck needs a lot of work, but I will appreciate any suggestion that you give to me and will happily take any construtive critism as well. Thank you for taking the time out of your day if you decide to leave a suggestion, or critism.

It could use some Etched Champion  . It still seems rather vulnerable to any kind of whipflare  or bonfire of the damned  cards. Also a few myr cards that add mana would probably help speed it up. Copper Myr  Myr Superion  Silver Myr Maybe also a few Blood Artist  To make it unforgiving when your myr die.

First and foremost, this is not a Standard deck. This looks to be a Casual/Modern deck. Having said that, you really need something to do on turns one and two.

I get that this isn't a very good deck, but I do want advice in order to help make the deck somewhat competeable against someone using a standard deck. I get that the deck will need a lot of changes, but I am only looking for advice to help improve my deck as much as possible.

He says move it to casual because about 6 cards aren't standard. I didn't actually see which arent. I like the mana giving creature because other creatures benefit from having creatures to tap out.

Ok, you posted in the Standard forum. This is not a Standard deck. Cranial Plating and Lodestone Myr  are not standard legal. That's why this should be moved to the Casual forum or perhaps even the Modern forum. Anyway, you don't have enough token-producing cards to justifty four copies of Parallel Lives , and Mirrorworks is too expensive. I'd make more suggestions, but I still can't tell if you actually want this to be a Standard deck or not.

Why no Myr Superior? 2 drop for 5/6 which you have more than enough creature mana generation. Doom Blade/Go For The Throat seem like a must for this deck so you can get some removal in. I agree with RxPhantom about Parallel Lives, it doesn't do enough with your setup to justify (personally I would say it doesn't fit at all). Etched Champion (which was said already) is fantastic since now any colored deck is doing nothing to a huge attacker for this deck. If you're dropping Rampant Growth, I would suggest dropping Forest and Parallel Lives and focus on blue and black, which means more Leaden and Silver Myr.
