MTG deck build ideas?

I am looking to build a rainbow deck. THIS DECK WILL NOT BE TYPE 2 LEGAL. as of now I have

5 mountains

5 plains

5 islands

5 forests

5 swamps

3 Mirror gallery

4 aether vials

4 dragon arch

4 Dromar the banisher

4 Nomot, the devistator

4 Oros the avenger

4 Darigazz the ignitor

4 Crosis the purger

4 Intet the dreamer

I am looking for a quicker way to throw these creatures out by lowering their colorless mana cost all ideas are welcome

Update:

im also thinking of adding the odyssey duel lands i.e. sungrass prarie etc to help on land drop...i know im wishing for ALOT but I built this deck once with the included cards, but it got stolen. So know I am rebuilding this deck all over from scratch and the cards ive collected since it was stolen. The first deck like this I was taking a beating untill 4th turn and then the bomb hit...but then again I had nephillims and captain sissy and all other kinds of low costing creatures.

    Since you are going to 'cheat' on the mana cost, I do not see why we can make a mana base more friendly. Having 5 of each basic land makes your land draws very inconsistent.

    This is what I would do:

    First get the dragons:

    4x Worldy Tutor

    2x Time of Need

    These 6 spells will help you get the dragon you need for the situation.

    The dragons:

    1x Dromar

    2x Numot

    1x Oros

    2x Darigaaz

    2x Crosis

    1x Intet

    1x clockwork dragon

    Only 1 intet and 1 oros, since they are the more situational of the dragons. An early numot is overkill. There is only 1 dromar because 60% of the time Dromar will bounce itself (which is kinda cool with dragon arch). Clockwork dragon is there because it can be tinkered in turn 3!!!

    The mana base:

    14x Forests

    4x -green artifact land-

    4x seat of the sinod

    2x island

    the mana fix:

    4x sakura tribe elder

    they can block early, and also search for lands.

    You want some blue mana for the early defense.

    4x dragon arch

    4x aether spellbomb (this will be your defense/draw cards).

    3x aether burst

    To look for the dragon's arch:

    2x tinker

    There are few spots open still so you tweak the idea.

    Good Luck

    WOW....you are really hopin here. This won't be a "winning" deck, but it sure will tick off people

    Dragonspeaker Shaman would be one card I would add. It lowers cost by either 1 or 2.

    I don't know if I don't look at the RAV uncommons dual lands. Yes, you have to pull a land back, but, you gain a mana over all. I'd think about it.

    Some Land fetching wouldn't be out of the question

    Kodama's Reach is my fav

    Sakura Tribe Elders is good

    Rampant Growth

    Explosive Vegetation

    You need to get your land out quick and fast.

    that's my take.

    Try this -

    Elvish Champion. Green, tap, You may put a creature card from your hand into play.

    Also, Captain Sisay: Tap, Search your library for a legendary card, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

    So for a Green and two tapped creatures, you can search for the dragon you need and put it into play at the end of your opponent's turn.

    Reya Dawnbringer is also good, as she allows you to take a creature from your graveyard to play every turn.

    I would definitely look past basic lands. Very, very hard to get the right colors without dual lands, pain lands, etc. Using spells like Harrow, etc (anything that lets you search for land) is good. Thins out your deck and allows you to get what you need.

    Since you are building a DRAGON deck you will need Dragonspeaker Shaman and the artifact Cloudkey. Also Wild Pair is a great enchantment to use in this deck.

    I'm pretty sure merigold meant Elvish Piper, not Elvish Champion, I would use Reya Dawnbringer as someone else mentioned, in combination with cards like One with Nothing, or cards to mill yourself to put dragons into your graveyard. Balthor the Defiled would also be nice in bringing your dragons back

    You have mostly ones and twos of cards and this deck is not standard if that's what you're going for.
