This is a casual deck I made a while ago, possible turn 3 wins with it. and I want to make it competitive

Kobold Krunch

Creatures (24)

4 Kobolds of kher keep (0 cost creature)
4 Crookshanks Kobolds (0 cost creature)
4 Crimson Kobolds (0 cost creature)
4 Cloudstone curio (bounce engine for kobolds)
4 Auriok Champion (infi life once you get your kobold engine online)
4 Soul Warden (infi life once you get your kobold engine online)

Spells (17)

4 Genesis Chamber (Infi 1/1 myrs with kobold engine online)
4 Skull clamp (helps you dig for the curio since every creature is x/1)
4 Grapeshot (infi storm count from kobold engine)
4 disenchant (since I play this purely as a casual deck)
1 mass hysteria (again since this is casual, lets me swing for the win if I dont draw grapeshot)

Land (19)

4 terramorphic expanse (mana fixing)
10 plains
5 mountains

the combo works when you have at worst 1 kobold in hand 1 kobold in play and a Cloudstone Curio on the feild. Since Curio allows you to return a creature you control when ever another creature comes into play under your control, you play a 0 mana kobold, and bounce another 0 mana kobold with Genesis Chamber you net 1 myr token a cycle, with either Soul Warden of Auriok Champion you net 1 life a cycle, and of course every cycle adds 1 to your storm count, allowing for a very large grapeshot.

As this deck is casual, I dont have a side board and am main decking disenchant, please feel free to help me in making this a competitive deck

well first off u can paly this in 1.5 legacy... so i'll keep comments to that format.

obviously terramorphics could be dual in nature. then u dont ened numbers like those for lands and could stick to main colors. basically you need curio, so you should run 4 serum powder so u can get to it. simian spirit guide x4 can take the spot of 2 lands and 2 spells. this will also help with casting grapeshot. running 2x gemstone caverns can help curio killa turn earlier... u have plenty of cards that are excess fat so it wont be hard to pitch for it. next best thing to search for curio with would be street wraith.

11 kobold
4 grapeshot
4 curio
4 serum powder
2 street wraith
4 simian spirit guide
13 'wins' via engine

2 gemstone caverns
-as many duals as you can get that dont come into paly tapped
-plains

this should kill faster and more consistent, while barely knicking your wallet

Skullclamp is banned in Legacy. This is a vintage-only deck.

i would cut down some of the uneeded winconditions and add more 0 creatures(yea i know it sounds weird). Then add glimpse of nature so you can draw into your combo peaces. With curio you can draw your deck....

notice that i did not include skullclamp in my decklist for you...

the only car din deck that makes this vintage is skullclamp... so drop clamp and play other search instead obviously to make it legacy.

if it's vintage then naturally you want moxen in place of lands, but it seems to me you are building on a budget... not just for magic-league... and still, my list works

this deck will be much more competitive in legacy and just run serum powder, etc.

but my synopsis is that you are already fixed on what you want... a skullclamp deck. run foodchain goblins or sumthing like that... a deck that can win without one card by turn 4. clamp will be even better in that deck and u have efficient creatures that block slivers and deal 20 very quickly.
