1) Any combo deck, he is another source of discard, that you can blink with your resto. But don't forget about his first ability, it can come in handy some times.
2) Not tutorable and, therefore, not very useful. Plus, they just can bolt you next turn and you'll be dead.
The arbor elf works fine, and I'm not playing the pilgrim because I think with arbor I can cast Redcap for double black.
Only if you can untap Overgrown Tomb. That situation is possible, but you'll be lacking white mana sometimes. That's what Avacyn's Pilgrim is needed for. Plus, you can get a situation where Arbor elf is just useless(for example: a two lander hand with Razorverge Thicket, Arbor Elf and a Swamp).

Really liked your list, will try cutting thoughseizes. But I see you have three finks, didn't you try to cut one for Courser of Kruphix? What do you think about it?
Best case scenario is T2 Choke, I think that locks them out of the game. I have Lingering Souls in S/B, card is beast against delver, but sometimes it's getting rekt by Forked Bolt or Electrickery
and even Echoing truth. I have to try Choke against heavy delver/blue meta in my LGS.
I'm still having delver problem. Do you think Choke or Chalice of the Void for X 1-2 would be great against U/R? What do you think about one of this cards in a quantity of 1-2 in angel pod s/b?
Hello guys. I have an angel version of pod and lately I've been having problems with delver. I just cannot stop delver/swiftspear turn one. All my spells are countered after turn one and it's really a miracle when I can resolve Finks or pod turn three. And with all fetches/shocklands/thoughtseizes I have a really low hp pool to work with. After game one I side out thoughtseizes for Lingering souls. Also, I side in Thrun and second pontiff. And still, I cannot do much against damage and counters they putting on me.

If an spell or ability would exile one or more cards in your graveyad, it exiles no cards instead.
0/4
Anti gravehate, would like to run it in my abzan company deck. But I think it would be too strong with this stats. So maybe we can lower it to 0/1

And you should probably buy Verdant Catacombs first, instead of Noble Hierarch,replacing your Bloodstained Mire
