2 Mountain
4 Badlands
3 City of Traitors
4 Crystal Vein
4 Dwarven Ruins
3 Gemstone Mine
3 Sandstone Needle
// Creatures
3 Arc-Slogger
4 Krosan Cloudscraper
4 Symbiotic Wurm
2 Yosei, the Morning Star
1 Crater Hellion
3 Serra Avatar
// Enchantments
4 Sneak Attack
// Spells
4 Desperate Ritual
4 Seething Song
4 Through the Breach
// Artifacts
4 Lotus Petal

If you have any suggestions please leave them.

Arc-Slogger??

I would drop the Cloudscraper's for something like DSC. You want evasion in your creatures. DSC at least tramples and will get shuffled back into the deck to be drawn again. Instead of Arc-Slogger, something like Goblin Bombardment might combo nicely with the Wurm if you choose to run 4 of them. Yosei is solid as it will tap them down for a turn.

My Sneak Attack deck splashed black for Demonic Tutor, Dark Ritual, and Duress/Cabal Therapy. Red also offers Gamble which can be very helpful as well.

I'm guessing this is supposed to be a casual deck, I don't condone Sneak Attack decks that aim to be competative. That being said there is and elder dragon legend that makes them discard their hand when he hits, you should look into that.

If you are building it on Apprentice then consider Zodiac Dragon.

hoverguard sweepers & mystic snake combo well with sneak attack.

R: return target creature to it's owner's hand (bounce creature and sweepers)

RR: counter target spell (counter spell with snake, then return snake and sweepers to your hand)

I use these in my sneak attack deck, along with all the usual fatties, and it does pretty well.

Also, using black might also be a good idea.

sacrifice creatures for phyrexian dreadnought before you use them all up for sneak attack (after combat phase)

i would replace crater helion with living inferno... you may add bloodfire colossus, tidal kraken, thorn elemental, laquatus's champion, gleancrawler, hypnox, myojin of life's web

krosan looks nice with 13/13, but aint great without trample. you may add pyromancy for alternate attack combo

replace dragon tyrant with akroma, angel of fury... at least you have some protection

Dude, your creatures suck

here's how your creatures should be. I have only lost once with my sneak attack deck. and that was to a lucky burn deck.

4x Dragon Tyrant
2x Rorix Bladewing
2x Bladewing the Risen
4x Zirilan of the Claw
2x Archon of Justice
4x Demigod Of Revenge
3x Kilnmouth Dragon

that will make you win almost every time, guaranteed. Dragons were made for killing. and that's exactly what they do. Zirilan of the Claw is a must for any sneak attack deck. Dragon Tyrant is not an option, he is mandatory. 12 damage for one sneak attack, the cloudscraper is useless. if some one blocked with a goblin lackey you just wasted a 13/13 sneak. dragon tyrant has trample, flying and double strike. plus a pump that allowes him to do 2 damage for one red.

you also need to use worldly tutor.

you need to get either
a) 4x taiga
or
b) 4x stomping ground
also mirrodin's core is pretty useful
