I recently ran the deck in a 46 man tournament and I didn't do as well as I would have hoped. Here is a breakdown of my matches and the decklist I ran.
1 Keranos, God of Storms
4 Snapcaster Mage
2 Vendilion Clique
SIDEBOARD
2 Ancient Grudge
3 Anger of the Gods
1 Combust
1 Counterflux
2 Dispel
2 Engineered Explosives
1 Negate
1 Pithing Needle
2 Spellskite
Sideboard [15]
Deck Total [60]
I went 2-4. Winning 8 games and losing 10 games.
Game 1:
Twin. I won 2-1
Game 2:
Twin. I lost 1-2
Game 3:
Soul Sisters: I lost 1-2
Game 4:
Twin. I won 2-1
Game 5:
Storm. I lost 1-2
Game 6:
Melera Pod. I lost 1-2
Most of the games were played against decks with similar colors as mine so I had dead cards in the beginning of the game which caused me to lose the first game most often. For example, blood moon was useless vs all of the decks but pod and in that match up I did't even draw it. Shackles wasn't useful in many of the matches, but ended up saving me when I took the opponents exarch or pestermine. Batterskull did work, but tapping out for 5 mana at a time left my open for their combo even with counter back up. The opponent could sit back with desolate lighthouse and sculpt a perfect hand. I honestly don't think I misplayed any of the games. I usually was able to stall the game out till extremely late. I often won the second game after boarding, but almost always lost the first game. I don't want to give up on the deck because the matches weren't the best, but I am not as sure of the board. I think a second spellskite would have helped a lot and possibly another pithing needle. I am thinking about playing it next week for a local event, let me know what your thoughts are on the deck and matchups.

What do you guys think about this new D&T list that has been showing up recently on MTGO. I have been playing wisps, splicers, angels, and what not for a while, but I was curious if you thought this deck version was better and if so what ways. I think it has a stronger match up vs combo and is more aggressive, but is has less tricks.
Hey that's my list I actually went 4-0 with it 2 out of 3 times i participated in a daily.
I think the deck has a strong position in the current meta. Mangara is really good imo. 4 paths alone just isnt enough removal.
Hey Klimito I was wondering if you could post how you would bored vs the current meta game. I am running the same version as your MTGO deck. I removed the stonecloakers because there were too many games where I would try to flash it or vial it in, but the opponent was able to path, bolt, or kill the guy I wanted to bonce, thus making cloaker bounce itself. I replaced it with 1 Jotun Grunt (good vs dredge, storm, anything graveyard) and 1 more Restoration Angel (better blocker and more reliable then stonecloaker, plus good with Jotun Grunt resets)
