Aren't first strike and deathtouch redundant...? I mean, if your creatures are big enough to take down the opponent without dying, they don't need deathtouch.

A creature with first strike and deathtouch can almost never die in combat though, no matter how big it is. wasteland viper has to potential to take down a worldspine wurm and walkaway unscathed.

Does a creature that's dealt damage during the first strike damage phase get destroyed by deathtouch? I was thinking it wouldn't, but I'm not that sure anymore.

If a creature has both first strike and deathtouch, when that creature goes into combat with another creature, the creature with first strike and deathtouch deals damage first, and because of the deathtouch it will kill the opposing creature before it even gets touched

Yep, what happens is this:
I have a 1/1 creature with deathtouch AND first strike. I attack or block a creature. Let me say I block a 5/5 creature. My 1/1 creature hits the 5/5 first because it has first strike. But because my 1/1 creature also has deathtouch, my 1/1 creature kills your 5/5 creature BEFORE YOUR 5/5 CAN STRIKE BACK.

It is brutal. Two Static abilities that are brutal together.

I might consider some artifact/enchantment hate.
Consider increasing your first turn drops.
Birds of Paradise would be huge first turn drop, for this deck. Stables up your mana. Provides temp and speed. Or consider adding Pharika's Chosen. Taking out the 7 mana, 3 forest Hornet Queen.

Good luck!
