You do realize that most vintage decks run a set of moxen and black lotus? because this deck is going to get crushed, but here is some fixes:

-2 Sphinx
-1 Archmage
-1 waterveil
Sensei's top is at 1?

+4 brainstorm
+5 moxen
+2 pact
+3 Trinket mage

By the way what are you trying to do with this deck? and what are your weakness?

yeah, this is not vintage quality.
thats why its a casual deck.

the deck takes early control, then punishes creature heavy decks with shackles. control the board and ensure a fatal blow with with tezeret's final ability or mill them out with jace/stroke.

one on one, i dont think it has ever lost, maybe once to a land destruction based deck.

I've never seen a build like this so I can only think of what I would put in, as for vintage your way off, I was just letting you know in case you decide to get competitive with a deck like this.

Where is the white? I think WOGs and/or STPs are your best for taking care of aggro threats plus the splash could work nicely with blue.

Also, if your running vensers you should run Phyrexian dreadnoughts for a huge 12/13 attacker.

i lost for the first time in along time the other night to bloodbraid elves.
perhaps the wraths would be a good idea, but i dont have hallowed fountains, and i dont want to make my shackles useless.

and stifle works with the 12/12 dreadnought.

You should have volrath's shapeshifter when you have the dreadnought in the grave so you can have a beatstick 12/13, without having to sac creatures for the dreadnought.

Also replace the counterspells for force of wills, much better counters.
