Doran Voltron, my first EDH deck: what to build from these 118 cards?

I'm getting back into Magic from zero, and I've got an EDH game on Sunday with more experienced players. I wanna field a really solid Doran aggro Voltron deck.

To that end, I bought a bunch of cards. Doran Reassembled These 118 cards are literally all I own, and the wishlist on my maybeboard can wait. I've got one assembly of these cards here: Casual Doran! The first link, Doran Reassembled, has the full list of everything I've got, and I was hoping some of you more experienced folks could tell me what you'd especially recommend I not trim out.

It's got a good selection of equipment. Ensouled Scimitar and Slagwurm Armor and the like are in there, plus Trailblazer's Boots, Whispersilk Cloak, and the poor mans's Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots. Quietus Spike is one I like especially.

Lots of power-hate-- 4 white sorceries that kill things based on power, plus Meekstone and Crackdown. I might want to dial that back, though, considering the 10 or so really nice higher-power creatures.

There's some removal in there, Glissa, the Traitor to kill things and fish out artifacts, and generally a good variety of stuff to make an EDH deck out of. Take a look!

I've got it almost all assembled at Doran Reassembled, but I still have 12 slots left in the deck. The sideboard there are all the cards I can use-- I won't be able to pick up anything else until after I've playtested this.

What do you guys think? What (from the sideboard) needs to go in, and what have I messed up by including?
