I plan on attending my shop's next Friday Night Magic, and I'd like to get this deck up to snuff. It is a ton of fun, but I am unsure how it will fare in the current standard meta, or if it is competitive at all. Any suggestions?

The strategy is to buy time with cheap enter-the-battlefield effects ( Azorius Arrester , Cathedral Sanctifier ...) and control to establish some flier presence ( Faerie Impostor , Emancipation Angel ...) and card draw (Curiosity, Mentor of the Meek). If you are lucky enough to get a Quirion Dryad early, you will have a bruiser too. Even when drawn late-game, the dryad is the real bomb.

There are some nasty interactions in here with Peel from Reality . You can shut down aggro hard with the Azorius Arrester , gain life with Cathedral Sanctifier , permanently exile some things with Fiend Hunter , and keep Snapcaster Mage safe. Plus, doing all these things makes Quirion Dryad huge.

Some of the cards in this deck are not held in high regard on gatherer, but I encourage you to give it a playtest! I have a great time playing it. One hint; PEEL EVERYTHING

Again, I am really new to this type of play, so all suggestions are appreciated!
