Tweaking for FNM
Deck Help forum

I took my Jund build to FNM last week. Rocked against r/b zombies and 2 boros aggro decks. Lost 2-0 to. Junk build running mana dorks and fatties like Armada Wurm and Thragtusk. It was really Angel of Serenity that threw me off though. Kid kept exiling my board and then swung. I tried to steal a few creatures using Olivia Voldaren but he blinked them away with Restoration Angel. I sided in 2 Slaughter Games to get rid of the angels but never drew them. So what's a Jund to do? Should I just side a full playset in against this deck bc I know I'll see it again or are there better fixes out there?
The Restoration Angel isn't really my issue, I can get around that and it dies to Mizzium Mortars. It's those Angel of Serenity that really shut me down. I'll need to make sure to get rid of them in order to beat this deck...Slaughter Games and Appetite for Brains may be my only shot at that.

I'd say play no more than 3 Slaughter Games. A deck normally plays no more than 2-3 staple creatures/card, so running 4 is just redundant.
With Jund, you can't really stop Restoration Angel or Angel of Serenity from being cast outside of naming them for Slaughter Games. Another option might be use Rakdos's Return or Appetite for Brains to get rid of the cards before you try stealing with Olivia.
If you've already pinged Armada Wurm or Thragtusk with Olivia, you could just wait until your opponent tries to flicker them with Resto Angel, then do the steal in response.
