Deck discussion for Shadow Babies

The biggest challenge I see this deck facing as it is is that 22 lands for such a miniscule curve is a waste of spots. Realistically you could get away with 20 and be more than fine, or even drop it to 18 or 19, especially with how many search lands you're running.
I'm also not the biggest fan of dash hopes in here, both because of its specific mana cost, which drives down your ability to play it turn 2, and because running counters requires open mana, which this deck won't have in the early game and will struggle with until the late middle game. You would much rather play your 1 drop turn 1, then play a second 1 drop turn 2 and have your other mana open to respond, then go from there. In addition, its a bad topdeck as its conditional to spells being cast rather than anything that is in play, thus making it unable to affect boardstate. So, if you dopdeck it while you are behind, you're screwed. It also gives the opponent the option to eat the 5 and retain both card advantage and tempo, which is a problem in a deck that eats its own life. I would perhaps consider inquisition of kozilek as it ups the 1 drops, ups the turn 1 dicard greatness that buys time, and isn't as mana specific.
I also see a problem with running 4 claim's as they require applicable targets, and you only have 8 in the deck, so its a brick till you get it to work. Yes it fetches the juggernauts, but running 4 ups the chances drastically of seeing it sit in your hand for a wile while you lose the field. Maybe drop it to 2.
Just my thoughts, not trying to hate on the deck. I love builds like this
