Geth and Phyrexian Processor are there as a "Plan B" type of thing.
Greed can be very explosive, and this deck doesn't really mind paying life to draw cards. I like it better than Promise of Power here as it allows me to draw as many cards as I need, instant speed.
Lethal Vapors stops creature onslaughts and gives me a 4cc time walk against several decks (no one minds paying half their life for Temporal Extortion VS Skithiryx), and creates a bit of a lock when paired with Pithing Needle/Phyrexian Revoker naming it. Skith can regenate, so you can get around the lock.
Voltaic Key is just good utility. Enables easy untapping of Mana Vault, extra mana off of Everflowing Chalice, Sol Ring, and Worn Powerstone, extra activations of Phyrexian Processor, Contagion Engine, and Throne of Geth, same-turn activations of Nev's Disk... it's really quite versatile.
Scuttlemutt is hilarious (go ahead, read the card). It allows Skithiryx to get around color-hating cards (hello Akroma!), and turns anything on the other side of the field into a viable Snuff Out target. The fact that he serves as an innocuous 3cc Mana rock isn't bad either. That said, once I get better mana rocks, he'll probably be going out quickly.
Phyrexian Crusader - Pro white and red seems really good, and adds consistency to the infect plan. I'll be testing him once I get a copy.
Awesome Equips (Jitte, SoFI, SoLS, SoBM, SoFF, Strata Scythe) - Skithiryx doesn't need the additional help in killing people. Nightmare Lash is in because it turns Skithiryx into a hasty Phage for 3 life, and Lightning Greaves are in because of the shroud.

Ancient Craving/Ambition's Cost - Don't have any copies. I'd be running them otherwise.
Sign in Blood/Night's Whisper - The effect feels somewhat small.
Tainted Strike - Seems too situational, especially when I'm running few dudes.
Coalition Relic and Mana Crypt - In once I get them.
Phyrexian Crusader - Pro white and red seems really good, and adds consistency to the infect plan. I'll be testing him once I get a copy.
