Nice First deck :)

I think you need to mainboard more threats of some kind in this deck.  I have a few decks that actually mainboard more removal then total creatures in this deck.  You've got nice amounts of board control, hand disruption, and counter magic.  I just think a few more threats would really keep the pressure on your opponent while you disrupt the game they were trying to play.  A few Relentless Dead, couple more Cryptbreaker, maybe a few graveyard recursion creatures like Prized Amalgam, Haunted Dead, Stitchwing Skaab.  Something you can discard to Cryptbreaker for a token then get back from your graveyard later when you want it.  Haunted Dead is a surprisingly effective recursion enabler.  You can even discard Prized Amalgam to cast Haunted Dead or Stitchwing Skaab from your graveyard and have those Prized Amalgam return at the end of turn.

Thank you for your review. It matters a lot to me. I'm new here so I think creating the deck is the most difficult part on the jurney.
Playing a lot of Magic Duels to learn more !

Thank you !

I would like to start by saying that I by no means am a pro or deck wizard.  I just like giving perspective rather than trying to tell someone "what they should do".  Please keep that in mind.

Like Jabilac said, I think the deck is slightly creature light.  Your creatures do have some good synergies, but the toughness of the creatures you are running are also on the lower end.  This is fine if you are just trying to clog the board; however, what are the win conditions of this deck?  Do you have a big finisher?  How would you deal with opposing threats (bigger creatures)?  Having to use 2+ cards to deal with your opponent's 1 card is inefficient.  I would say removing Pieces of the Puzzle and Flaying Tendrils would be a good way to allow 5 slots for more creatures.  A few copies of Sanitarium Skeleton would work well given the fact that it can be used as a blocker that dies to make your Gavony Unhallowed bigger, and then you have the ability to buy it back out of your graveyard and cast it again.  Rinse and repeat.

There are just so many things to think about when building a deck and playing it.  It is unfortunate that this game can get very expensive if you want to build really powerful decks.  Not to mention, an inexperienced player with an amazing, expensive deck will still lose more often against a seasoned player with an average deck.  Honestly, hanging out with other players and having fun is the most important part about this game.  If you are doing that, who cares if you win a match?  You win by having fun.
