Selesnya "Can't Touch This" (Standard MTG Deck)

I'm really feeling this build more than any of the other Selesnya Hexproof variations. It can deal with quite a bit. It pairs nice against aggro decks, mono-black, azorius control, B/W midrange, the works.

How to Deal: (Needs Updated to Current Build)

Anything aggro: You get out creatures just as fast most times, but just as quickly make them powerful creatures that are hard to deal with and will likely have lifelink and unblockablility via trample and flying. Your main board will likely deal with anything. You could side in Banisher priests if Brimaz, King of Oreskos or possibly Herald of Torment become a problem. Against White weenies, Skylasher wouldn't be a bad idea for the Daring Skyjeks.
Mono-Black: The set up is already strong against mono-black, the only big threats being Devour Flesh and Lifebane Zombie. To deal with Lifebane Zombie, you could sideboard a couple creatures for Advent of the Wurm. Also, siding in the 2 Pithing Needles for dealing with Pack Rat and Underworld Connections. Your Selesnya Charms are already present to take out pesky Desecration Demons.
Azorius Control: Sideboard in 4 Skylasher and 2 mistcutter hyrda for the counter spells, Detention Sphere and Azorius Charm, 3 Rootborn Defenses for the lovely Supreme Verdict, and 2 Pithing Needle for planeswalkers and AEtherling. Hexproof decks are built for such times as control. Have at it!
B/W Midrange: Since builds vary here, its more just paying attention game one. Pithing Needle for Elspeth, Sun's Champion,Underworld Connections or Pack Rat, possibly Advent of the Wurm for Lifebane Zombie, and maybe side out 2 Fleecemane Lion for 2Mistcutter Hydra if Blood Baron is too much to over take although with enough enchantments, you'll be fine even if Fleecemane Lion is your only active creature.

Edit

Added new cards from Journey Into Nyx.

I played with the previous build at FNM this last Friday. I went 2/0 for the first 3 rounds, against a rakdos burn/mono-black build, a Golgari Dredge, and I can't remember the 3rd deck..

However.. I remembered the forth. I lost 0/2. I was absolutely decimated. It was a Junk Midrange net deck from the #3 slot of the most recent Starcitygames event. This might have been the first deck I had 0 answers for. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. :)
