Okay, so this is my second deck which is still very much in progress, and I am considering switching out black for white, but the point here is to get Lifeline into play and then not to pay the echos on my creatures so they die and come back again. Again, this is just with the cards that I own. Suggestions welcomed and encouraged.

It's dangerous to rely too much on one card... can you think of For example, you might find creatures which have really cool comes-into-play or leaves-play effects, like Solemn Simulacrum. There are lots of cheap (in the sense of not costing much money) creatures with neat abilities -- try an Evoke deck with Shriekmaw. To get some information about which cards have Evoke, you can go to Magic the Gatherer website and search Evoke: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?text=+[evoke] The advantage is, instead of dodging a negative effect from Echo, you're getting repeated use of a positive effect from Evoke (the leaves play ability).

Also: if you would prefer only suggestions which use cards you own, make sure to say so and help by listing various cards you are considering using -- otherwise we usually assume that folks want advice on what cards would be good to purchase (for cheap prices) to enhance the deck. I hope suggestions for what to buy are not offensive to you; it's meant to be helpful.
Thank you very much for your advise, and I appreciate any card suggestions that you have to offer, I will just be working with what I have and what I can find, but even just by looking up the cards I can slowly get an idea of what my deck could look like. As to the evoke idea, while I like your suggestion, the whole point of the echo and life line combo is that it continues to reoccure every single turn, so each turn i get to deal 2 damage with ghitu slinger, or destroy a land with avalanche rider, or add 4 1/1 tokens to play with deranged hermit. while doing an effect once or twice like I could with evoke cards is nice, and they are less stable and dependent on lifeline to hold up as a deck, the beauty comes from the overwhelming and constant power once lifeline comes into play with even just two or these creatures echoing in and out of life each turn. I am still looking for cards or ways to change this deck and either get lifeline out earlier or to find some other advantage as well, but I really do appreciate you taking the time to offer some advice to a novice of magic, and I will continue to have your points in mind when I modify it.
Hey i hope you dont mind but i copied your deck idea but im using red and green. As you play black you might want to add some demonic tutor to get lifeline or otjer important cards quicker.
