Can I survive a Combust filled Meta?

Well as it turns out my FNM meta has finally noticed that my deck Mission Make Angelic Overseer Competitive has been getting me to the top 4 split for almost 7 months now and they've decided to each carry a playset of Combust alongside the sideboard cards they already would be packing against me. Now I'm curious, can my deck survive such a format until they stop the Combust ness due to the fact that on average Combust only effects my deck (my meta is pretty heavy on green or black based decks).

More Hexproof works pretty well. Geist of Saint Traft with Spirit Mantle is something I've always wanted to try out.
Try maindeck Cloudshift ! If they go to Combust your creature just Cloudshift in response, which negates the Combust because the creature will become a new target (and therefore opposing spells will fizzle).
