3 main tips for this deck, then you can work on the fine tuning.

First, more land. You should be running about 24 with that mana curve - or more likely 23 and replace your expensive spells with cheaper ones. Which leads me into my next point.

Lower your curve. Get cheaper, more efficient spells and creatures. A lot of those cards are just not really enough bang for your figurative buck.

And finally, choose a strategy. Decide how you want to win and make each card contribute to that. Do you want to win off of Blood artist? Take cards which give multiple cheap creatures like Krenko's Command and cards which let you sac creatures or benefit from you saccing like Viridian Emissary. Want to win with evasion and Pyreheart Wolf? Add in some stuff to make your critters stronger like Rancor and Signal Pest. Right now, you are all over the place and many of your cards are useless in conjunction with each other or even harm each other.

judicator seems spot on. One other simple thing, if you are going to be running three colors, you should put at least 1 basic mountain in the deck so you can go grab it with rampant growth/farkseek if you need the red. Also, terramorphic expanse might be good if you dont have enough of the duel lands.

Also, in a three color deck, you don't want to have many spells that are too color intensive (i.e. require 2 or more of the same color). With the land you have in your deck, if you play strangleroot geist turn 2, it will be impossible to cast vampire knighthawk on turn 3
