I recommend incorporating 2 Darksteel Relics. Now, whenever I suggest this, it is usually met with disapproval because "it doesn't do anything." That just happens to be why I like it so much. It's a 0 drop, indestructible artifact, and that is it. What it actually does for you is puts you that much closer to metalcraft and isn't subject to destruction and is rarely a target of other removal spells. In the mainboard, it is important to maintain metalcraft because you will want the protection on Etched Champion and the benefits from Mox Opal, Ezuri's Brigade, Puresteel Paladin, Dispatch and Dispense Justice. Mirrorworks and Prototype Portal usually have mana issues, especially since you are not running a bunch of acceleration. I'd also look into running one of the green anti-flyer spells, there are a few to choose from.
