Essentially this is a speed deck with Blue Genesis offense and Brown deck discarding defense. Any thoughts?

It's more of a single color offense and defense deck than a speed deck. It has a full defense with sites and not a lot of drawing stuff in there. Usually speed decks have just a few defensive guys and don't waste card spots with sites. You need a lot more drawing cards if you're looking to make this deck fast as a speed deck.
-
Your character:enhancement ratio is way off. you're gonna get stuck drawing lots of enhancements and no one to play them on the first couple turns. it'll kill your speed.
plus you have 2 Lay Down Your Life in there.
I don't see how "speedy" it is other than a few draw 3 cards. looks like a fun deck, but if you're looking for speed, its hard to beat teal set a sides. or gifts/hur..

If you're trying to make your deck fast, I would say you still need in more drawing cards. I would say the minimum is 4. With your current setup your deck is still to slow for your sites to have any effect. I would either ditch them completely, or work on adding in more drawing cards. You could also focus on using more stand alone guys like red dragon, KoT, PotW, etc. that don't require enhancements. That way you can cut out some evil enhancements, which less cards = faster. The bad thing though is I think there is a new card coming out that hurts drawing abilities.

don't build a speed deck do somthing origianal its way more fun

I agree!
But, I dont see how this deck is speed.
