Deck Help forum

I'm trying to build a deck around Glissa, the Traitor and Melira, Sylvok Outcast. already have most of the cards to build it. just wondering if anyone out there has any advice. I've never really messed with artifacts on this scale before but I'm trying to find a standard deck home for glissa and put her to optimal use. lots of compounded synergies in here I think and I kept the mana curve pretty low even though I also included a pretty severe amount of ramping as well as Semblance Anvils to lower casting costs. the idea being that I won't end up with an opening hand full of dead cards very often.

so whats missing, if anything? more defensive spells? or maybe a few bigger creature? I thought about going more straight black infect but I like the elves in this one. also thought about maybe a Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon or two and Phyrexian Crusader is just awesome. Plague Stingers are good too but I'm not sure if any of these belong in this deck. Steel Hellkite is kind of chomping at the bit to get off the maybe list but I don't know what to take out to replace with him.

anyway, help me out. I'd really like to see an elf deck do well in standard.
