Add in Forced Worship. Forced Worship + Sigil of the Empty Throne is a beating. Plus Forced worship lets you stall a bit while you set things up.

I adding in 11 white cards and only 4 white sources is a bit too hopeful. Maybe maindeck some glacial fortresses or seafoam coasts, you're going to get mana screwed far too often when in board in white.
in all honesty your dispatches don't seem all that good. The chances of you being able to use the metalcraft are very slim. I'd drop those.
Gotcha, in that case, perhaps Merfolk Looter would do you just as well. He'll help you to draw into more gas and cycle your library toward what you need, and if you draw your Blightsteel just discard him. Triggering his shuffle affect and still giving you a chance to Shape Anew him.
Is this strictly for after Zendikar Block rotates? Because for now while its still standard, See Beyond would be a good add. Incase you draw your Blightsteel before you can Shape Anew.
Add in Vital Splicer or Wing Splicer. They are non-artifacts that create artifact tokens. Thus work with Shape Anew perfectly, I'd drop the chalice all together. Also as a last resort you could add a two-of Inkmoth Nexus. The land won't trigger from shape anew, but you can tap itself, and activate the land to become a tapped aritfact and then shape anew it for the Blightsteel. Seeing as you are only running one Shape Anew target, I'd add in See beyond, so you can shuffle it back into your deck.
Darksteel Plate and With Stand Death might help out this deck a bit. Also Brass Squire could be sweet as well.
I like this concept, very cool combo even if it is hard to pull off. My only suggestion is to make Trader actually worth it. There is no real point to giving them Key if Sorin already has infinite counters. Since relic is in the deck why not add in Immortal Coil? Great win condition. Trade it to them, blow up Relic and Win. Otherwise, I'd drop Red all together and add in some blue, you can add Tezzeret's Gambit for some Draw and prolif, as well as Agent of Bolas to help Draw artifacts and make all your small 0 cost stuff actually useable. If fact you really should consider Blue Black, I think it will play out alot smoother and help you get your combo faster. Something like.... 4x Prototype Portal 3x Throne of Geth 3x Voltaic Key 4x Dross Scorpion 3x Memnite 3x Ornithopter 2x Mox Opal 2x Master Transmuter 2x Mindslaver Land 8x Island 12x Swamp 4x Inkmoth Nexus Planeswalkers 3x Sorin Markov 3x Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas Spells 4x Tezzeret's Gambit BUT this is your deck, and only my opinion, so I totally am not trying to step on your ideas. Just my 2 cents.
Decent, but if you are playing polymorph theres a few better targets then Blightsteel. Progentitis, Iona, Shield of Emeria, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Inkwell Leviathan Now since your only playing blue I'd just add in a Emrakul and an Inkwell, maybe drop blighsteel down to 2, and add in See Beyond so you can shuffle back in your poly targets.
I see where your going with the skeleton and the sac outlets, but how can you not add in blooghast? He's a beast in this type. And I'm not sure where your going with all those black/red and black/blue non basic lands... seems very bad, your not splashing for anything and it slows you down signifigantly. If you do add in Bloodghast, replace those with fetchlands, if you don't add bloodghasts, I think basic swamps would end up way better.
No Triskelion?? Might as well, with Basi, Blade and Trisk you can ping to death any creature and whip their whole board.
Phyrexian Metamorph would rock hard in here. Not only can you bring him back with Sky Ruin, but when he comes into play target a living weapon, you get a second one AND a new germ token. Win win.
Other than the Turn 1 win, the reason I made this deck was to prove a standard turn 1 was possible, I didn't say it was going to win tourneys, or even say that it was a consistant deck, thanks for reading my description...
That's exactly my take on MT, have fun and push the limits!
Shrine of burning rage would be a beating in here. Would you take a look at my Standard Turn 1 WIN: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=197340
Nice man. I love the infect decks with Strobe. Only two small suggestions. See if you can fit in Probe, so you can cycle through some cards to help you get your combo as fast as possible. And I'd definately try to add in Unnatural Predation. Maybe over Prey's Vengenace. That way even if they block your double striking elf they still take both hits and a butt load of poison.
I'd definately add in Tezzeret's Gambit. The draw alone is awesome to help you fill your hand with creatures to set up the Quest, or draw into quest if you don't have it, and it can proliferate the quest counters for you too! Win win.

Thanks to everyone for the support!
Maybe add in some profilerate options? Contagine Clasp or Grim Affliction, or even Tezzeret's gambit. Some times you only need 1 or 2 more counters late game, and these cards help a ton. Would you take a look at my Standard Turn 1 WIN: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=197340
Well its definately more for casual play with friends, I'm just trying to think of more to add aside from the initial turn one combo cards, to give me a shot to still win.
