Is Angelic Overseer good in G/W Humans?
Deck Help forum

I personally do not think it is because G/W Humans is a Fast deck + Angelic Overseer dies to card:Black Sun's Zenith and Day of Judgment . (Which usually stops human decks anyway)

overseer does NOT die to doj, if you have a human.

The 5 mana makes it bad as most GW Human Aggro decks will top out at 3 and if they draw a 4th land, it would be more useful for Mikaeus, the Lunarch and if they have 5, Gavony Township is better than Overseer.

Yeah, the 5-cost is a hindrance. You could maybe do one as an end-of-the-line bomb - 5 power fliers can win lots of games, especially if they can't be targeted or destroyed - but tossing a singleton into a deck isn't really a path to Standard competitiveness.
But as NoSkillManiac pointed out, the Overseer wouldn't die to a Day because she's indestructible. (All her human cohorts would die, and then she'd be destructible, but the first Day wouldn't kill her.) And saying a creature isn't good because it dies to BSZ is the same as saying it dies to Doom Blade. BSZ kills everything, even more so than Blade, so that's hardly a fair mark against it.

@MagnorCriol How many should i add to The Fastest Deck in New Standard.? Also what should i remove? Should I add 1x Mikaeus, the Lunarch ?

Ehhh, I'm not exceedingly good at giving that sort of critical advice, especially since I haven't been keeping up-and-up on what Standard's going to look like with Innistrad. But I'll go look and do my best. =p

It works a nice bomb in a deck full of weenies. I personally like it a lot, but I guess it depends on your deck and its motives.
