First take out Enlightened Tutor and Sol Ring.
Than decide if you want to play a Control or a Weenie deck.
At the moment it looks like you just took the white portion of a cube and slammed into a deck.

It is true, that when it comes this deck could be played as weenie and sometimes is decided in first part of the game.
I would like to find some creatures with low casting cost and well improoved as Mother, Weathered Wayfarer, and some with cost WW, W1 or W2 with played mana curve.
Yes: Enlightened Tutor, Sol Ring out.

I wouldn't play Strip Mine either.

In any case, you have an ex-EDH deck here, I presume. The sad fact is, they are not competitive enough to do well in HL. I am not saying this is unsalvageable, but you need to trim away the cards that are the weakest links.

If you don't have a friend who has a HL-deck, try playing against a standard deck. Even the best HL-decks are usually not good enough to beat tier 1 standard decks, but playing against them gives you a good feel about what cards are not suited for duels, or are just too weak. So, don't get too discouraged when losing to them. That might also give you some insights about whether you want to play aggressively or not. The "correct" answer is probably somewhere in between, but you need to figure out whether to cut the most slowest or the most fastest of cards.

Also, WW is a popular strategy among the HL players, which means there are lists that probably can give you some ideas about cards you want to try out even if you decide that you want to play a slower deck. For example: http://www.mtgpulse.com/event/3232#42118

That list isn't what I would go for if I were to play a WW-deck, but it might give you some ideas.

OK, thanks a lot.
I play it now only with standards or extended players and sometimes with someone who play HL 60 cards. I would like to push it higher, so I will see.
In every way, any advice is welcome.
Why not Strip mine? It is necessary to have possibility to destroy some unpleasant land.

Because Strip Mine is banned just like Sol Ring and Enlightened Tutor. This link for the complete Banlist.
