Lashknife

Enchantment — Aura

If you control a Plains, you may tap an untapped creature you control rather than pay Lashknife's mana cost.

Enchant creature

Enchanted creature has first strike.

21 Plains works, but you can add Secluded Steppe to cycle the flood every once and a while.
I guess Slash of Talons is more flavorful than Righteous Blow? I belive Sunlance is a better removal, but you can at least use them in the sideboard.Alley Evasion really benefits decks that have more ETB effects, you're better off with Gods Willing and Emerge Unscathed.
Expose Evil could be an upgrade to Djeru's Renunciation.
But, instead of that, let's captalize on the Griffin's Vigilance.Try Lashknife, Ramosian Rally and Orim's Cure

You definitely want Lashknife and you may want other free spells like Reverent Mantra just to increase storm count.

Getting Aetherflux Reservoir out seems like the biggest priority, so more artifact searching is necessary. Inventors' Fair is an obvious inclusion and Kuldotha Forgemaster may be good too. Recruiter of the Guard doesn't tutor for artifacts, but it does tutor for Puresteel Paladin, which is important to the combo.

Mana seems like an issue for the deck, so run Mana Crypt, Grim Monolith, and all the other good rocks. One option to explore is an Eggs package with Krark-Clan Ironworks, Second Sunrise/Open the Vaults/Faith's Reward, and a bunch of cheap cantrip artifacts (Chromatic Sphere, etc.). This would give you a huge storm count and let you cycle through your deck more easily while at the same time producing a lot of mana.

For a backup win condition, maybe consider the Bomberman combo (Auriok Salvagers+Lion's Eye Diamond). The only problem with it is that you don't really have an outlet for it (I mean I guess you could run Staff of Domination but that doesn't actually win the game). It generates infinite storm count for Aetherflux Reservoir though so it has that going for it, I guess.

As far as Stax goes, I think that adding some hatebears would do the deck some good. A lot of the better ones like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Spirit of the Labyrinth, and Stony Silence we won't be able to run because of the nature of our combo (playing lots of noncreature artifacts and drawing most of our deck), but we can still run a lot of other good stuff. Aura of Silence, Aven Mindcensor, Blind Obedience, Winter Orb, Containment Priest, Hokori, Dust Drinker, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Grasp of Fate, Peacekeeper, Sanctum Prelate, Leonin Arbiter, Swords to Plowshares, Thalia, Heretic Cathar, Hushwing Gryff, Armageddon, and potentially even Ethersworn Canonist can all work in this deck.

You should also add Skullclamp, Sensei's Divining Top, Weathered Wayfarer, and Sun Titan because they're just good cards.

Looks like a neat little deck and I'm interested to see where you go with it.
