Deck Help forum

So, I'm going to play in my first Standard game at the local card shop. I've done booster drafts up till now but finally got around to getting a standard deck going. I've tweaked it to the best of my abilities and am wondering what other people think.
The general idea is to throw out cheap, easily buff-able creatures early with Livewire Lash. Attack with unblockable creatures and use Artful Dodge and Unsummon to win by turn 4 or 5.
Turn 1: forest & Glistener Elf Turn 2: island & Livewire Lash (attack, 1 posion) Turn 3: forest & equip, Artful Dodge (attack, 5 posion) Turn 4: island, any other spell/ability, artful dodge (attack, 14 posion)
If lash is removed on turn 2:
Turn 3: island, 2 drop and Ponder/protect (attack, 2-4 posion) Turn 4: forest, Increasing Savagery (attack, 8-10 posion)
Alternate:
Turn 1: island & ponder Turn 2: forest & blight mamba/blighted agentTurn 3: island & livewire lash, save 1 mana for protection or draw (attack if able, 0-1 posion) Turn 4: forest, equip lash, artful dodge (attack, 5-6 posion) Turn 5: island, increasing devotion, dodge or protect (attack, 7-14 posion)

The obvious changes I suppose would be swords and land. My brother has some swords he can loan me if needed but I'm not entirely sure they would actually speed up the deck. Land would be the obvious place to go but I'd like to avoid that is possible.
