i just went 3-0-1 coming 2nd at my local fnm, was a box tourny tonight and $20 entry so mostly just the "good" players rocked up around 20-25 players. The deck played really well, unfortunatly i lost game 2 in turns to draw 1-1 in a really long tough match. i dont think either of us played slowly is was just the match-up.
2 weeks in a row now i have gone X-0-1 only drawing in control matches.... need to find a way to win these matches quicker, maybe hero of bladehold in the sideboard? or more counter spells to stop sweepers any ideas?
R1. vs Delver u/w 2-0 win
R2. vs Naya Aggro 2-1 win
R3. vs u/w Miricle Control 1-1 draw
R4. vs Wolf Run Ramp G/R 2-0 win
I like the snag and gutshot in there still because of variety and they can be used easier with snappy then the black removal spells. Doj is just a meta call lots of aggro round here so i like having 1 maindeck and 2 in the sideboard, it can be overkill but i feel more comfortable with them in the 75. The deck is great fun to play kinda a mix between delver and solar flare i would definatly reccomend giving it a go.
I dont like jace in any matchups milling just isnt what delver wants to do.
Surgical can be good hitting Image, alchemy and other powerful reccuring cards in their list however i dont run it because too often i have used it only to be blown out by other threats in their hand and i had wished the sugical could have been removal or something relevent to the threats in their hand and not the threats in their Graveyard.
Doj is good vs them...quite often they will doj and clear your board i.e geist, delver snappy then drop a titan grapping image blah blah...having doj at least lets you have some answers to that and could possible blow them out if u play into it properly.
This is also the reason i board in planewalkers because they survive doj and allow me to have a stronger late game.
i didnt change swords for that 1 reason... the flare / control matchups SoWaP is much better, i still feel the ramp and Aggro matchups are won with timelys, image and sphinx and the SoFaF was just overkill.
The list looks good, im thinking of just stealing the tamiyo x1 gideon x2 play and using outta the sideboard along wit doj, leaving the delvers and swords maindeck, and using a 3/2 split with geist and splicer,
ok cheers that makes more sense now.... so image dies if u cast restoration angel with no other possible targets, interesting to know thanks, metamorphs are looking better and better all the sudden yeh??
"When Restoration Angel enters the battlefield, you may exile target non-angel creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control."
Really lol thats good to know....ive been building decks for this weeks fnm with no M12 guess i can just play something good then.

what do you guys reckon?
"When Restoration Angel enters the battlefield, you may exile target non-angel creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control."
Pretty sure you dont have to target something.
