Was running a B/W angels & humans and doing pretty well until grixis zombies shredded me. Is this matchup just bad. If so, what decks do well vs it? This is a tournament league and i don't want to run into it in the Top 8 tourney just to get smoked.

That was my mistake, I actually was running U/W angels/humans. i was wondering if I should switch to B/W. How do u feel about Lost Legacy to get rid of Amalgams?

I would board in lost legacy but only on the play like maybe board in 2 on the play 1 on the draw because the card doesnt matter if they are on the field

how much of your meta is grixis zombies? g/b delirium, w/u flash, aetherworks marvel and control are larger slices of the meta.
no deck has perfect matchups against everything, if you really need some anti-zombie tech, Lost Legacy and Declaration in Stone are solid, also just being faster (or flying-er). If your w/u then things lie Spell Queller and Reflector Mage are also solid.
but to be honest your better off using sb slots to help your more common ~50/~50 matchups then your (hopefully) less common ~20/~80 matchups.

Your B/W version should actually do well against it. Use Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and Liliana, the Last Hope and it will increase your match. As well as Flaying Tendrils from the board will improve the match as well as improving R/W Vehicles match up as well. Remember, Declaration in Stone is good in moderation against the deck, Grasp of Darkness can be your friend, take over the game with your larger threats but stabilize the board with removal first, the correct kind of removal.
