Other cards we definitively need:
Academy Rector
Akroma, Angel of Wrath
Karmic Guide
Kor Sanctifiers
Reveillark
Akroma's Vengeance
Disenchant
Hallowed Burial
Austere Command
Humility
Return to Dust
Mana Vault
Sol Ring
Sensei's Divining Top
Stonehewer Giant
Stoneforge Mystic
Well of Lost Dreams
Cradle of Vitality
Angelic Chorus
Equipment:
Umezawa's Jitte
Skullclamp
Sword of Fire and Ice
Sword of Light and Shadow
Basilisk Collar
Loxodon Warhammer
Lightning Greaves
Cards we found to be sub-par:
Captain of the Watch
Caravan Escort
Emeria Angel
Field Marshal
Kitsune Blademaster
Exile
Ghostly Prison
Honor of the Pure
Hour of Reckoning
Pegasus Refuge
Sacred Mesa
As you can see, we need a lot of help on dropping cards. Probably most of the 1-drops and Ranger as well....
You may wanna reconsider Ghostly Prison. That thing packs a whollop against any token deck. It's a great deterrent in multiplayer. If your opponent can either attack you and have to spend a bit of mana, or they can attack someone else who doesn't make them pay mana, who will they attack?
P.S. I love the iPod touch, I typed this entire post with mine.
NOTE: He sort of threw this together from the "Best Card" threads and what he thought is generally good.

Any and all help is appreciated. He's missing a lot of staple cards like Sol Ring, Sensei's Divining Top, Mana Crypt/Mana Vault. He's also a Level UP fan! Keep that in mind with suggestions ^^
Fix away!
On a side note:
Angelic Chorus and Cradle of Vitality are amazing.
Finally, I feel that Well of Lost Dreams is utterly mandatory for any lifegain EDH deck.
Hedron-Field Purists is a cute card... not too good, but you said he liked levelers.
Basilisk Collar and Loxodon Warhammer, either one with Cradle of Vitality makes people cry.
Answers in bold
EDIT: However, Stonehewer Giant is pretty much completely better than Mystic.
