Be aware that first strike + deathtouch is a quite irritating combination. Glissa, the Traitor is nigh-impossible to kill in combat. This isn't necessarily a problem, though: this is certainly awesome flavour for a rogue / assassin. Adding flash is a nice tweak on Voracious Cobra, and has the entertaining consequence of moving the source of the deathtouch from green to black in the cost. This is quite an aesthetically pleasing card - it's rare to find three keyword abilities in three colours that work together so well. Just be prepared for players to groan when it comes down against them.
You probably want to remove the "only"s in the text now, though.
thanks
That last ability can be reminder text. Batwing Brume was mentioned above, and it was part of a 10-card cycle templated the same way.
Like this ?
Updated it so that mono white can't get Deathtouch and Mono Black misses out on Lifelink (though it is now a 'sometimes' ability for black).
This card would be a lot easier to template, and a lot cooler, if paying
allowed you to get both effects.
which is why is only a 2/2 :-)

Heh, I like him better now - never know when he'll ump out of the shadows and off someone :-)
Rogue... maybe 2/1 Flash/Haste/Double Strike?
