Saheeli delirium deck help

Hi guys,
I'd love to play some kind of a Saheeli Rai combo deck, brewed with the cards I like.
I loved the delirium mechanic from SOI/EMN and the atmosphere of the Innistrad plane. So i knew i wanted to play cards like traverse the ulvenwald and huntmaster of the fell.
So i started to build a deck and here i am. I'd like to get some insight from you guys, if you think it could be viable. I'm not planning to go to a PPTQ, it's just to enjoy some games in my local gamestore and with some friends.
Here is the decklist I started to work on. https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/26-11-18-saheeli/?cb=1543272856
It's on jund colors (more or less), I'll put some blue and white lands but with Oath of Nissa and birds it should be ok when it comes to cast saheeli. I wanted to have some kind of a combo kill too, so that's why the Felidar Guardian is in. And it has some good synergy with the creatures in the deck.
Only one fatal push, with 4 bloodbraid i'd rather hit a lightning bolt but maybe i'm wrong. I opened Assassin's Trophy recently so I threw it in.
And of course Traverse the Ulvenwald as our tutor package + Grim Flayer to filter our draws and help enable delirium.
I did not add the lands yet, but I was thinking of 22 lands. With the oath, traverse, and birds, I'll probably be ok with 22.
So what do you guys think ? I should probably put more value creatures in the deck, to combo with saheeli and bloodbraid. Do you have any ideas ? Thanks for your help !
(sorry for any grammar or lexical mistake, not native)
Saheeli -2 wouldn’t get another cascade onto a Bloodbraid Elf because cascade triggers on the cast.

@Snivy_ Oops ! My mistake on that one. Forgot the cast thing. Still, her cascade effect is really good.
@SeekerofSecrets thanks for the link :)

Use Glittering Wish, it gives you 7 Bloodbraids and 7 Saheelis.

Hey lenneska,
If your tutor package is Traverse the Ulvenwald you may add Mishra's Bauble and Tarfire to the base to get delitium faster. Also, if you have space, you may add any Tarmogoyf because with the delitium mechanic it can be big very fast, and it would serve you like a creature to pres your opponent.
Apart from this, you may put a deck-large link to the forum? Because I not found your deck, and I would like to see it, because it seems interesting.
