Thank you very much PickleNutz for the elaborate answer, i will playtest the current deck and make adjustments skewering towards your suggestions when necessary! Do you have any advice for the sideboard? Im not sure what should be fit in, should Maelstrom Pulse or Golgari Charm be added? Thanks again for your feedback.

Maelstrom Pulse, Treasured Find, Tormod's Crypt, Pithing Needle, Damnation, Naturalize, Putrefy, Golgari Charm, Dismember, and Noxious Revival are all great sideboard cards for Golgari decks. I would stay away from Grafdigger's Cage because it prevents Glissa from pulling artifacts back from the graveyard. Tormod's Crypt can erase an opponents graveyard and still give you access to yours. Also, a few Ghost Quarter is probably needed to stop Tron decks.

Hey!
So one thing that I have noticed, artifacts like Viridian Longbow and Pathway Arrows are super slow for what they do. Yes, when paired with Deathtouch creatures they can effectively be a great creature removal engine, the issue is that it takes that creature out of combat as it requires them to tap. Plus, it's going to cost you 3-4 mana to get it online and rolling. A better alternative, and one that you can pull back from the grave with your Glissa, the Traitor (favorite card btw), is to slot in Ratchet Bomb. Ratchet gives you a pretty cool boardwipe against token decks and specific creatures... like ones with hexproof. It comes on line for 2 mana. If you slot in instants that can give your creatures indestructible when you pop it off you can clear the board and swing for lethal. Heroic Intervention pairs well with it. It would also be wise to slot in a board win, like Damnation.
Windswept Heath will do the same thing as Verdant Catacombs when you're on a budget and need access to your dual lands, but to make your deck the most effective it can be you'll need to swap them out for Verdant.
Deathtouch, by itself, is just not a reliable win condition. I would suggest adding in more creature buffs. Cards like Blossoming Defense and Vines of Vastwood can shield your creatures by providing hexproof and also buff them to deal that extra damage. Predator's Strike can be cast at instant speeds and give your creatures trample as well. Rancor attached to Glissa makes her a 5 damage creature with First Strike, Trample, and Deathtouch!
I would take out a few creatures (stay between 16-17) and slot a few in. I would also suggest cutting back on hand removal cards like Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek. After turn 4 your opponent isn't likely to have cards to target with those spells and they are cast at sorcery speed, meaning you won't be able to stop their hand when they draw anayways.
Outside of those suggestions, I think you have a strong deck. The issues you will run into when you rely on creature abilities and don't have protection for them via Hexproof is that once they are removed, you are screwed haha.
