I've been playing my angel's miracle deck and have found that Entreat the Angels has been underperforming. I already have a couple wincons without it. Niv, chandra, card:Devil's Play, and tamiyo. What do you think?
Do you find yourself using the angels to help defend your planeswalkers fairly often? You don't have very many creatures and if your planeswalkers go down ... it could be the end. Half of your other win-cons are planeswalkers who won't make it to their ultimates as easily without some creatures guarding them. You may end up using the direct damage to protect them instead of to hurt your opponent and that again takes out two wincons rather than one.
If the board clearing is doing the job well enough for protecting the planeswalkers so that you can use their ultimates and use the direct damage on your opponent then I think you could let the angels go but I'm not so sure. It may depend on the deck you are up against more than anything so I'd keep them in the sideboard at least.

I'm thinking of having 2 entreats and 3 of chandra or card:Devil's Play. Over 90% of the time board wipes have been enough as the walkers i have can protect themselves well.

I wouldn't necessarily cut them all the way out, but I would take out one or two. It's just too clunky to have 3 of and be drawing them early or even mid game really.
