Went 2-2 for the night so I'm looking for some assistance making cuts and changes.
Thanks in advance!

Could just be the Zombies..You should make room for Rest in Peace in your sideboard. I Would MB Thragtusk and move Sigarda to SB for decks that use lots of removal. Maybe cut down on some mana dorks for some Farseek s? Also since your using a colorless mana producing land for a G/W deck, It's got to be Gavony Township .

when I mean I didn't see it I mean that I never drew it in any of my games. Not even in the starting go.

Also, not sure you looked at the deck as I have 0 Thragtusk anywhere (which I have mentioned prior as to why I don't want to run him) and none of my matchups were Zombies. (They were all jund but no Zombies.)
Also, Gavony Township shuts off my Strangleroot Geist s and is an expensive mana dump where I'd rather be playing threats.

And if you don't have any threats...then what? You won't always have something worth playing at the time, Gavony Township is an option to turn your useless mana dorks into threats. By the time you use it, your strangleroot should have a counter on it already. As to why your shutting out Thragtusk , I Don't get it, He is an excellent option. However, I wasn't there and don't know what your matchups were, but something went wrong. If you feel your deck needs suggestions, they won't get better than the ones aforementioned.

jund with tons of spot removal and no sweepers. Sigarda, Host of Herons is nigh unkillable in those matchups.

Played v/s a deck my third match and lost due to land flooding and afterwards we played for fun. He played 3x Thragtusk during the course of the game and still lost to me. Sigarda, Host of Herons wiped the floor with Thragtusk EVERY time. Also, every time I saw him he IMMEDIATELY ate a Selesnya Charm and it felt great. Her evasion also played a crucial role in any games where I saw her hit the table.
The 5 life is annoying to play through but the creature itself just dies to removal too damn easily. Sigarda, Host of Herons just doesn't die. Combine that with something like Rootborn Defenses and when they DO drop a sweeper it won't matter.

If I really wanted the lifegain I'll run Centaur Healer as my 3 drop. 1 p/t for 3 health is great.

She dies to Supreme Verdict , Terminus , Blasphemous Act , Mutilate , and overloaded Mizzium Mortars .

Also Bonfire of the Damned ..I'm prolly missing another one. Oh yea, she dies to herself in the mirror match.

Thank you for pointing that out however I had mentioned they weren't running sweepers.

Also, she doesn't die to Mizzium Mortars , and Terminus just tucks her.

I personally would cut the sublime archangel. You're running a deck that is throwing out tons and tons of beefy guys. Yes its nice to be able to swing with one massive creature and have a bunch of blockers, but thats rarely necessary and it seems more of a win-more card. I don't see it having that much synergy with the deck. I also notice that you aren't running any kind of card draw. While you didn't face any board wipes in the last FNM, it seems likely that you will face others soon and be in desperate need of drawing power. I'd put in Elvish Visionary . Also having the visionary and Armada Wurm in the deck makes Restoration Angel far and away better than Sublime Archangel . Not to mention that after your strangleroot geist dies and gets a counter, you can then bounce it again giving you an extra use out of it.
In the end its your deck and you know it better, but thats what I would suggest. Granted I'm also in the thragtusk boat.

On the contrary overloaded Mizzium Mortars DOES kill her. The key word changes from "target" to "each". That gets around hexproof.

She's a 5/5 Mizzium Mortars hits for 4 she will not die.

They would also need to play an overloaded Electrickery or a Golgari Charm in conjunction with Mizzium Mortars to kill her.

LoL, you sir are totally correct...I wasn't thinking about her 5 power...my bad. Although I was thinking, she dies to the other badass angel in standard now. Angel of Serenity .
October 20, 2012 12:35 p.m.
Which is also false, because it's three target creatures.

Dies if she blocks but if you notice I run 4x Selesnya Charm which exiles her along with 3x Oblivion Ring . Let's put it this way. If it's big enough to kill Sigarda, Host of Herons then it's big enough for the charm. That's one of the reasons I run her over Thragtusk .

Skythe yea my math must be off. I forgot that a 5/5 flyer can attack into a 5/6 flyer and not die...oh wait...you should pull your foot out of your mouth ;)

you're right, no reason for me to respond like that, I apologize.

My brother runs a similar deck except he threw in 1 Collective Blessing for Hefty hefty card:Avacyn's Pilgrims and Arbor Elf . It hasn't been proven yet, but you might want to give it a shot.
