I need a reliable way to see my opponents' hands each turn, yet I'm not sure I want to run stuff like Glasses of Urza or Telepathy in place of more utility spells.
I need more lower-costing flyers, or ways to stall the game before I get the big flyers out.
Do I need more mana ramp/mass removal/spot removal/counterspells?
What other cards generate flying tokens? Do I need more of them?

Low cost flyer? Check.
Telepathy Effect? Check.
I believe that gives you everything you wanted.

Yeah, that works. I think I'll put it in instead of Soul Seizer since he's not that important.
Also, I need more card advantage. I'm thinking Intuition, Fact or Fiction, or Scroll Rack. Problem is what do I take out?

I've never card much for Acquire in this format, but then Blightsteel is absent from my metagame. Other than that your deck is already quite solid.
