Mission Make Angelic Overseer Competitive (Modern MTG Deck)

Please playtest against this deck and leave a comment on how the most memorable games went (in other words no games where either deck was mana screwed or flooded).

This deck has been getting me to the top 4 split at my local FNM for months (at one point I had to fight though a good 9-12 sideboard hate from them) and recently got me to 2nd at a gpt!

The strategy behind this deck is simple. Beat your opponent down to 0 while slowing them down or holding down their dudes. Any 3 drop or higher (aside from Fiend Hunter should be able to win you the game, or aggro a kill spell so the next 3+ drop can get their shot in.

Too much luck? — June 2, 2012

Edit

It seems that my FNM meta has started to focus their attention on this deck which has been making the top 4 split the majority of the past 7 months. Almost every person running red now runs a playset of Combust along with other burn spells and the dub it the "Kevin Package" and the players who don't play red and aren't the newer players are also running almost the max number of board wipes and spot removal.

Now strangely even in this meta I'm still getting to the top 4 split... which is noticeably angering these people... and for possibly good reason as I seem to always be able to coax out the kill spells onto my early drops, if my opponent even draws any (they often tell me it's like they're drawing the answers to the cards I'm not playing at the moment, like drawing Doom Blades when I have Mirran Crusader on the field, or Incinerates to my Hero of Bladehold), I sometimes draw the right answer at the right time, often being one of the many silver bullets in the deck (often being one of the swords, destiny, or venser), and I only seem to ever have excess Thalia, Guardian of Thraben when my opponent is in the mood to kill her left and right.

Although I am almost glad to admit that this deck does have a couple of bad matchups... decks that run lots and lots of Clone effects...
