Having seen that you only have a few creatures that would benefit from heartstone, I would suggest Illusionist's Bracers, Ajani, Mentor of Heroes, or another creature instead.

If you're looking for "oh shit!" cards that may save you from a loosing game, try Merciless Eviction, Angel of the Dire Hour, or Sudden Disappearance.

I would drop Living Death (though I know that you like that card) just because it requires you to give up all your creatures. Angel of the Dire Hour exiles their creatures without the need to lose yours, but it only works on an attacker, so if you're getting ganged up upon, It's not as good (though, it has flash). Merciless Eviction is a good late game kill whatever you want card and Sudden Disappearance is a hilarious way to clear someone's board while you attack them.

Also, wow, that's pricey. It's your call, but I won't be spending that much on any one deck.
