I wish, I had taken notes, but well, I did not...
Game One: Me Vs. Naya Zoo (I think ^.^) 2-1
Round 1: He played massive amounts of burn (Lightning Helix, Lightning Bolt, Boros Charm) but sadly got kinda land screwed at two mana. I removed two of his Wild Nacatl with Banishing Light and Oblivion Ring and beat him down with various Grand Abolisher and Archangel of Tithes (<- very good, did not die to burn).
Round 2: Boarded 2 Silence, 3 Martyr of the Sand and 2 Story Circle (in SB instead of Revoke Existence)
This round was pretty good, I did draw all my Martyr of the Sand and was able to resolve them all and that was about it. Had only two lands out and did not draw any more lands. Slow and painful death. Last life total was me 3 and he 1.
Round 3: No boarding.
Like last match, pretty close, but Grand Abolisher over performed (three in starting hand) and made him throw his burn at him and distracted him from playing effectivly. Than my deck did its thing by exiling threats and playing angels.
I won.
Game Two: Me Vs. G/U Infect 2-0
Round 1: I noticed that he played a budget list aka. no Noble Hierarch and Blinkmoth Nexus and the likes. He got to nine gift counters and after that I exiled everything. I thing he was pretty frustrated... Than I beat him down slowly, to leave up blockers out of fear for various shenanigans.
Round 2: Boarded 2 Path to Exil.
Like last game pretty close, but my removal struck again.
Game Three: Me Vs. Grixis something I do not know :D 0-2
Both games were marked for me by terrible starting hands and even more horrible mulligans. Drew no removal and was heavily land screwed aka I nearly triggered Emeria, the Sky Ruin both games. Efficent removal, Snapcaster Mage, Tasigur, the Golden Fang, Gurmag Angler and Kolaghan's Command aswell as Electrolcy were my demise.
All in all I got to the second place due to reaching final and having the best match scores. I received my third Path to Exil and was pretty happy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To follow up the results of FNM, here are a few changes.
Leaving are:
- 4 Knight of the White Orchid He was underwhelming. In FNM itself and the casual games thereafter... Grand Abolisher was just always an awesome play.
- 2 Angelic Overseer Too reliant on humans. A removal heavy meta makes her an easy target. Every other Angel, exspecially Archangel of Tithes excelled due to the ability to push through damage and make the enemy paying for damaging me.
Added in:
+ 2 Grand Abolisher Awesome, just awesome. One of the greatest annoyances I had to tickle my opponents with. He hindered them heavily and even got to punch sometimes.
+ 2 Honor of the Pure The games and several of the other players at my LGS brought to my attention that the aggro-beat down character of the deck should not be underestimated by me. So I added two more anthem effects.
+2 Restoration Angel More utility. Bounce Banisher Priest to prevent removal or redirect exil. Prevent any removal to my humans. Emergency blocker. I think I like the idea of having something like this in my deck.
Last but not least. I put in quite some time to write Restoration Angels Trivia Text. Some feedback on that matter would be awesome!

I like Stave Off better than rebuff the wicked. It doesn't protect Oblivion Ring But it can also be used to get through blockers or make enchantments fall off an enemy's creature.

Gods Willing is good, but Brave the Elements (SB) is better.

Stave Off is better in my opinion since it can target your opponent's creatures too.

Better than Gods Willing I mean, Brave the Elements is strictly better in this case

@excaliber213 I see your point with the protection spells. Thanks for commenting :)

Realized I never left a comment, how rude of me. I love this deck LordD, and used some of it as a basis of comparison for my mono-white deck. +1 for another MW player.

@huschli Rebuff the Wicked is definitly something, I will think about. As you already mentioned, it wuld be a total flavour win!
Glaring Spotlight on the other hand, is to much of a niche card for me. Yes, I can clearly see its uses, but I do not know if I really want to commit a sideboard slot to it.
Last but not least, thank you very much for commenting! That makes me really happy. Apropos, ich vermute al du bist deutsch, nachdem ich meinen Blick mal uber deine Decks/Deckversionen habe schweifen lasse. Ich werde aufjedenfall mal versuchen die Zeit zu finden und es einmal genauer zu betrachten.
