No need to apologize. Welcome to the site :) putting [ [card name] ] or [ [deck name] ] is how you link cards and decks.

Akroma's Memorial is a favorite of mine that I try to include in every creature based deck I make.
It takes care of the First Strike and Trample, as well as giving Haste which is hard to come by in certain colors. The Flying is evasion while the Vigilance allows you to leave your creatures up as blockers.
All in all, one of my all time favorite Magic cards.
I agree with the Archetype of Finality suggestion. A great card that easily pulls it's weight. Archetype of Endurance is the counterpart. That is more dependant on your needs. What I do love about the Archetype cycle is that they not only give your creatures abilities, they also take those abilities from your opponents creatures.

Not sure if you are making tokens with deathtouch or not but if so you can use cards that have your creatures fight other creatures such as Ulvenwald Tracker.

Nice! I run some tokens. But I have Meren of Clan Nel Toth as my commander so my creature's lives don't mean much to me. Thanks for that I will be running that as well!

Deathstrike grave plunderer that's the deck I am working on.

It is generally helpful to see what we are making suggestions for.
First strike and trample are good choices I would also recommend Viridian Longbow effects and fight cards. If you are not already using her Archetype of Finality is good for deathtouch abuse depending on how many deathtouchers you already have.
Something worth considering as well is adding red. Red gives you cards like Power of Fire and Warstorm Surge. They work wonders with deathtouch and there are many similar such cards. I've taken to calling Queen Marchesa assassin tokens 'murder tokens' because of those cards.
