This is my sneak attack deck. I think it does pretty good, but it could do better. Any help would be helpful. Here's the deck
Lands
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
