So I finally had a chance to play this deck and get a feel for how it plays, however I ended up going 1 win 3 losses.
0-2 vs B/W/R Aristocrats. Both games were lost due to my opponent simply having more flyers available with Lingering Souls and Falkenrath Aristocrat. Thankfully I never saw any Boros Reckoner Blood Artist or Blasphemous Acts and I was able to keep up with the Cartel Aristocrat and vampire tokens on the field. Sideboarded in Golgari Charm for the -1/-1 to all creatures and Blind Obedience to slow down the Falkenrath.
2-0 vs Golgari. This was a fairly easy match-up. My opponent was all about abusing their graveyard and I was able to get Scavenging Ooze out turn 2 on both games. Game 2 I was able to get a turn 6 Archangel of Thune and the fun really began when Scavenging Ooze went out of control. Didn't sideboard anything for these games.
1-2 vs Mono-green elves. This was a pretty crazy deck. First few turns, my opponent was just throwing out small mana dorks liks Arbor Elf and Deathrite Shaman. Next came the Elvish Archdruid and Door of Destinies. Finally, in came the Craterhoof Behemoth and my subsequent scoop. 2nd game was a little better. I was able to remove the Elvish Archdruid with Abrupt Decay and stabilized with Fiendslayer Paladin and a turn 5 Obzedat, Ghost Counil. Managed to win this game by bleeding my opponent out. Third game was essentially a repeat of the first, with Craterhoof Behemoth and a bunch of steroid elves smacking me in the face. Sided in Blind Obedience Golgari Charm and Sundering Growth to deal with Craterhoof, mana dorks and Door of Destinies respectively.
1-2 vs Selesnya tokens. First game went fair smoothly. My opponent wasn't able to get more than 1 token out at a time and I simply ran over them with Scavenging Ooze. 2nd and 3rd games demonstrated what I feared with this deck and showed me just how color screwed I can get. I kept 3-land hands both games. Both games ended by turn 12 where I still only had 3 lands (all Overgrown Tomb
) and a hand full of white cards. My opponent knew this and ended up using Cathars' Crusade Archangel of Thune and Healer of the Pride to super-pump his creatures before dealings a whopping 67 damage in one hit. I sided in 2 Glaring Spotlight since my opponent showed that he had Gladecover Scout and Witchstalker.
Conclusions: As I feared, the double white cost on some cards and slowness of the deck screwed me a bit. Dryad Militant didn't seem to do anything in any of the games so I have moved them in place of Avacyn's Pilgrim. If nothing else, a turn 4 Archangel of Thune is awesome. I've also taken Woodland Cemetery down to 3 and Fiendslayer Paladin down to 3 and added 2 Doom Blade to fatties outside of Abrupt Decay range.
