Land Stealing Griefer Deck HELP HOLY SHIT

So I've got this deck idea that apparently isn't too original after all, but I'll go ahead and explain anyway. Essentially the point of this is to abuse the "upon entering battlefield" effect of my creatures and steal away opponents lands and/or other permanents with Liquimetal CoatingMTG Card: Liquimetal Coating. Problem I ran into was just that it packs no real punch by itself and I'm stuck debating throwing in black or red for a more reliable use of Liquimetal CoatingMTG Card: Liquimetal Coating and Argent MutationMTG Card: Argent Mutation if Master ThiefMTG Card: Master Thief never actually hits the table. I'm afraid without him this entire deck is pretty worthless.

Any suggestions? Seriously, tell me what to get rid of.

Just not master thief or liquimetal coating; the whole point is that I like this concept. I'm willing to listen if theres a better way to do what they do together though. Just need a reliable way to make him hit the field or a faster way than Semblance AnvilMTG Card: Semblance Anvil.

Thanks guys.

Initially I was running infect and Evil PresenceMTG Card: Evil Presence just to mess with mono color decks and slow them down. Same reason I have MisstepMTG Card: Misstep in there right now. I really like cards that annoy people and slow them down.

If you guys see any possible combos from what I've got in here that I DIDN'T point out or could definitely be improved upon, for the love of god please help me. I'm awful at deck building and usually write up like 30 prototype decks before I find one I really like.

Whoops, meant Mental MisstepMTG Card: Mental Misstep rather than MisstepMTG Card: Misstep sorry about that! Also thanks for the feedback on the deck page so far guys.

You could go U/G and throw in some artifact destruction too

red is where you want to get help from in this case. cards like Metallic MasteryMTG Card: Metallic Mastery, Into the CoreMTG Card: Into the Core, CrushMTG Card: Crush and FlingMTG Card: Fling all work very nicely together. not to mention you can make something an artifact and not always steal it. you can bounce it for one blue mana with Steel SabotageMTG Card: Steel Sabotage. It really lets you stall until you can start stealing stuff. Snapcaster MageMTG Card: Snapcaster Mage's always help too, allowing you to flash back the cheap stuff to kill off their lands.

Why not go Red for some of the fun things like Bludgeon BrawlMTG Card: Bludgeon Brawl and Ogre GeargrabberMTG Card: Ogre Geargrabber? :-D

I know it isn't anything competitive but Ooo Shiny! is my fun little take on that. You Liquimetal a land or any other non-creature, attack and steal it, then blow it up with Kuldotha RebirthMTG Card: Kuldotha Rebirth or Piston SledgeMTG Card: Piston Sledge. Really annoying if you can get around to getting the combo together, but hilarious to take someone's Liqui-Gideon and smack them in the face with it. X-D

I like all of these ideas; do you guys think I should steer more towards red artifact/land destruction and further away from any black infect kill methods?
