2nd at WNM 2-0-1 —Aug. 17, 2016
This deck is playing how I envisaged that it would, with just a few tweaks.
2-1 Dragons with Recursion
This is my partner's deck.
She got rid of my early Creatures in the first game and I was also mana screwed, so I lost that one.
In the other two games I protected Gisela, the Broken Blade Meld with Archangel Avacyn Flip, attached Stitcher's Graft to her, and kept hitting for a lot.
2-0 Control
Lost lots of early Creatures to counter spells. Then he played a big Creature which I Exiled with Declaration in Stone.
He was now tapped out so I played a lot of my cheaper Creatures at once.
Sylvan Advocate was able to do a lot of damage as I had Always Watching on the field and six land.
In our second game he was mana screwed. I had Archangel Avacyn Flip, and Always Watching on the field, and had attached Stitcher's Graft to the Angel, so I was able to hit for 8 each turn and close the game out quickly.
0-2 Burn
I got Gisela, the Broken Blade Meld out both games, but she was easily killed before I could get her out of burn range.
This deck won the night.
I'm happy with my deck now. It's performing exactly how I wanted it to.
The only change I might make is to take out the copies of Angelic Purge from the Sideboard and replace them with Repel the Abominable. I think this would help me against Burn.
OK, after a LOT of testing I'm going back to my old formula of lots of removal, as well as lots of Creatures that must be dealt with.
Apart from Selfless Spirit, which has tested really well, allows Archangel Avacyn Flip to flip really easily, provides a good early Creature, and offers a little bit of protection. Liliana, the Last Hope is problematic for it, though.
The deck seems to be testing better.

DanLane just so that you realise, you don't need a "sac outlet" for Selfless Spirit.
It is its own sac outlet.
