I am trying to build a burn/counter deck that is quick enough to withstand jund because I personally hate jund. I hate jund with all my heart. I saw a combo on this site that inspired the main combo for this site and I don't remember who made it but they deserve mad props.

The combo is filigree mages, khalni gem, and training grounds for infinite blue mana.

Here is my deck as of right now...constructive criticsm is encouraged.

Creatures

Filigree Mages x4

Hellspark Elemental x4

Enchantments

Training Grounds x4

Artifacts

Khalni Gem x4

Instants/Sorceries

Lightning Bolt x3

Burst Lightning x3

Into the Roil x3

Negate x2

Essence Scatter x2

Banefire x4

Comet Storm x3

Land

Arid Mesa x4

Halimar Depths x4

Mountain x10

Island x6

 

Side Board

Mind Spring x3

Ponder x3

Flashfreeze x3

Pithing Needle x2

 

I just started playing magic the gathering in December so I am relatively new and it seems like everytime I think a deck I build is badass it gets owned by jund and vampires in the local tournaments.I am not willing to conform and build a jund and/or a vampire deck.  This site seems to hold some very skilled minds and I am looking for criticism.Thank you very much!

Good build,  I would replace the essence shatters with 2 more negate, to protect your combo from removal.  Also I would try to get Fabricate in there to help find your combo, maybe 3 of in place of burst  

Replace arid mesa with scald tarn or terramorphic

arid mesa can only find a plains or mountain, you don't have landfall so you don't need the 2 land drop and you don't have plains, you can just run a mountain in its place

Scalding tarn and terramorphic allow you to search for an islands or a mountainb oth of which are in your deck.  Scalding is the superior of the 2 since it comes into play untaped
