Fixing the decks of everyone in a playgroup is actually quite interesting. Each E-mail mentions the other decks and how they play off each other, and reading each E-mail gives me a multi-faceted image of how it all comes together. Here's number four:
Well, I have to say "Irrational" is a good word to describe this. I can sort of see how it would all come together successfully, but it's a bit difficult since each card interacts with other cards in different ways. I'll do what I can, but you may have to take my advice with a grain of salt* on this one.
Now, there is definitely a lot of burn here to trigger Tamanoa a lot, so you should be gaining life like a madman. You may want to think about a copy or two of Storm Herd, to turn that life into Pegasi. See also the synergy with Sacred Mesa. Glorious Anthem and Sword of the Paruns are nice too, to help your creatures survive the Savage Twister. Since you can put out a lot of creature tokens, Hour of Reckoning might be a backbreaking move for you that could replace Wrath of God even better than the Twister. And speaking of a token deck, Selesnya Guildmage is always welcome in just about any deck with green and white.
Now, for cards you can pull out, I'm not sure you're really optimizing your card slots with Boros Swiftblade. A good creature, yes, but what does he bring to the table? The same goes for Skarrg, the Rage Pits. Having a land that taps for colored mana is more important than trample. If you want trample, then the perfect card for you is Gruul War Plow. Borborygmos would be a powerhouse in this deck as well, if your mana curve can handle him. Your mana may be better spent on more Pegasi, though.
Speaking of mana, is Paradise Plume really the best option here? It taps for a mana of a color of your choice, and helps you gain a little life. But you're already a life gaining machine, and the Plume is five mana. You're better off here with Prismatic Lens-- it comes down on turn two and can provide any color of mana or colorless.
Finally, with a deck pulled in so many directions, you may find yourself needing a lucky topdeck. When that happens, you need to just draw more cards. In red, white, and green, I'm not sure how, but Gift of Estates is on the right track. Maybe a bit more land searching would help if your games feel too random. Without playing the deck myself, it's hard to be sure, but it's something to think about anyway. Good luck!

*I don't know if this is a common saying in other parts of the world or even if many people in this part of the world will have heard it before, but "with a grain of salt" is an expression meaning "with the awareness that there could be a few mistakes".
