Engineered plague = Sideboard only? Wtf?
It has to be sideboard because it'll be useless against a great multitude of decks.
A great many MBC decks are maindecking at least one copy of Engineered Plague now a days, just because of U/G Opposition, Sligh, and Burning Wake.
I was just making some helpful suggestions, didn't have to get nasty. Can't even offer friendly advice around here anymore, geeze.

Cool deck 
It's just that your 30-35 is around $50 Canadian . If I didn't have to work on the DCI tournament day, I'd probably build something similar to that in real life

Nowhere near as bad as Raging Goblin. Free damage first turn, and it can be used to attack or block from then on? So lame.
I'm looking into getting into MTG:O, as noone in my area plays. I put together a similar deck to yours:
Qty Card Name
4 Undead Gladiator
2 Exalted Angel
4 Lightning Rift
2 Astral Slide
4 Fade from Memory
4 Akroma's Blessing
4 Renewed Faith
4 Barren Moor
4 Forgotten Cave
6 Mountain
8 Plains
4 Secluded Steppe
6 Swamp
2 Lay Waste
2 Slice and Dice

Think it would work as well? 
and would it run more money? My goal is to do this as cheaply as humanly possible. Only doable if I get money for christmas too, heh heh
Its more than just T2, it has every card and its FREEEEEE.
Pyroclasm>Piledriver Sligh
Why is your AstroGlide deck running 2 fledgling dragons and a krosan colosses? I would take out the 9/9 the two mini shivans, and 1 of your lifegainers to stick 4 of the new serra that morphes and has spirit link, might keep 1 of the 9/9's but without you being able to manualy flip him, he isnt very good
Dragon is a better alpha strike to win the game. Angels are just an "I win more" card and are unneeded for the most part. If I get in a situation that I need the lifegain from an Angel, I'm probably going to lose anyways.
The Colossus is for fun, which is what the game is all about anyways.

Looks decent, but you don't have enough removal, and the number of tricks seems low for an astral slide deck. Wrath of God is a must, you'll get swarmed without it.
Black/White slide is very good atm in T2. Some say even better than R/W or R/W/G Slide decks that have been floating around. You have to abuse the stack with faceless butcher and mesmeric fiends in combonation with Astral Slide. Once the board is clean you swing for the win.
Undead Gladiator is a good card, but it doesn't work well in a Slide deck. You want to cycle your cards rather than outright discard them, Slide is all about card advantage and the Gladiator works against that.
Here is the B/W Slide deck I've seen work really well recently.
4x Renewed Faith
4x Akroma's Blessing
4x Disciple of Grace
4x Swat
4x Wrath of God
4x Astral Slide
3x Diabolic Tutor
1x Engineered Plague
1x Corrupt
1x Multilate
3x Faceless Butcher
3x Mesmeric Fiend
4x Secluded Steppe
4x Barren Moor
4x Tainted Field
3x Plain
9x Swamp
Give that a try, bet it will work a lot better. Just be sure to know how the two nightmare creatures can be abused with Astral Slide and you will be set.

I mean I have a deck that is full of elephants and mammoths. Then I have walls and enchantments like treetop bracers and other things that make my elephants trample, first strike, add to my life every time I do damage to someone, banding, and some other things.
I LOVE ELEPHANTS!
MUHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAAHAHAH!
Spidersilk Armor and Briar Patch are MVPs for control green
...but they weren't elephants!
Soulcatcher X 2 + soulcatchers aerie and about 8 other birds in play.
Well,,,guy plays a card and uses mirari on it. said card destroys creatures that arent of the chosen type, and each player chooses a type.
Well...mirari (for those that dont know, it duplicates the effect pretty much) on that card, and he did it twice. Since all my cards are birds, I chose bird.
Well, second time...I chose Soldier -- 3 of my birds (including the 2 soulcatchers) were also of the "soldier" type. Sooooo...about 8 birds died there.
My soulcatchers got 8 counters from that. up to 13/13. They got +8/+8 more from the soulcatcher's Aerie.
He had one creature left. It wasnt pretty.
It is going to be the new psychatog... play 6 games, play 5 Astroglide decks
I cannot wait for Legions... pure creature expansion!
You just KNOW there are going to be some utterly terrifying goblins in there
So what do you think?
