What do you guys think of Restoration Angel in Melira Pod right now?
From what I've seen, Putrefy basically nailed the most common observation about the angel.

Luis Scott-Vargas actually played a very innovative Melira Pod deck at Grand Prix Minneapolis a couple of weekends ago, where he actually cut the Melira, Sylvok Outcast and Viscera Seer combo (the deck combos with Archangel-Feeder), and added in more midrangey cards like Thoughtseize as well as a singleton Restoration Angel . Here's the link:

It's a pretty interesting deck to try out. That said, Resto is much more common in Kiki Pod than in Melira Pod, so try it there first.

@thispersonisagenius: I already have Melira Pod built, so I will not be testing it in Kiki Pod any time soon. After playing with Restoration Angel for a few weeks, I have found that is is exceptional. I won two boxes with my current list, The Pod, at the StarCityGames Open in Somerset last weekend, and will probably stick with this list at the upcoming PTQ in Philidelphia.

Play Kiki-Pod it's better anyways (not so soft against Anger of the Gods ).
I think Restoration Angel is a bomb. The most common removal spells don't hit it (Bolt, Decay), you can reset your Kitchen Finks for even more lifegain, and it's a nice beater. However it's much better in Kiki-Pod.
