i currently have a Silence and a Battle Mastery in the main board but i was thinking about replacing them with Unflinching Courage?
the double strike is great and if uncontested will win you the game almost on the spot, the silence is great if you fighting a dirty blue/white "countered, Countered, COUNTERED" deck lol
but on the other side Unflinching Courage provides a lot of utility?
i do run 1 Heliod's Pilgrim just so i can find answer if i get stuck in a bad place
So what is tapped outs opinion on my dilemma?
Yes, add Unflinching Courages.
Battle Mastery - Most of the time this card is nothing but win more, and sometimes it's just really sub-par. By the time you're spending three mana and attacking your suited bogle is already going to be plenty large. Lifelink has way more potentially to secure you games or get you out of bad situations than double-strike ever will. The trample is also important for winning games through chump blocks.
Silence - Is just completely unnecessary. Control heavy match-up are already heavily in bogles favor because of how much spot removal they run. I would happy play against UWR back in the day and barely change anything in the 60 after board.
Manamorphose - Is just plain bad, I'm not sure why you'd be running it at all - other than the argument that it allows you to run effectively a sub 60 card deck. Which I think is bad for bogles since you need to rely on seeing lands, auras, and creatures, not factoring unknown sequencing. More importantly it's currently occupying what's typically the flex/interaction slots for the list. You really want some Path to Exiles or something in the main so you're not just stone dead to things like maindeck Spellskites or a slow draw against Twin combo.

Silence is an incredible card. Don't take it off mainboard. In fact, I'd run 4 of them. It's essentially a Time Warp when used properly (when they're tapped out or nearly tapped out w/ no instants to use). It screws all types of decks because it effectively gives you a 1-mana tempo engine. I'm going to vehemently suggest you run 4 of them.
Your deck doesn't really need more power - it's already solid enough. Boggles are awesome but I'd also add some Silhana Ledgewalker in there. Costs 1 more mana than your 1 drops but also has built-in evasion.
Don't run Manamorphose - it doesn't fit your theme, which is already an established top-tier theme that works well. I'm also going to chime in on the awesomeness of Unflinching Courage. It alone can win you the game.

yevgenii Bogles is not a tempo deck it's a synergy deck bordering on combo. A Slippery Bogle is not a Delver of Secrets Flip. It's not a self contained threat. You need a mixture of card in order to start rolling, and Silence isn't any of those pieces. So dedicating 4 slots to it is a huge investment.
Sure, there are games where you've already build a big threat and you get to Silence someone out of playing their Liliana of the Veil or Splinter Twin that turn, but there's going to be way more times that it's basically dead or doesn't impact the game. There are other cards that can essentially solve the same problems that don't require you to discard a card for the turn.

Thank you all for answering my question +)
A big thank you to Slycne i agree with most of what you said but mainly that Unflinching Courage is much stronger than Battle Mastery in most situations and that i need to have a Path to Exile in my deck to deal with Spellskite
