I am thinking about taking the 2 Angelic Destiny out of the mainboard and just giving up the Wolf Run matchup. I don't seem to get them with only 2 anyway. Maybe 2 Sword of War and Peace in the main, 3 Angelic Destiny in the side and take out something from the side (Revoke Existence).

I still an consistent on my view that our decks should run Phantasmal Image somewhere in the 65. It is a beast vs zombies copying a Mirran as well as it can really benefit when someone drops a turn three Legendary as well if we can not remove it otherwise.
I've decided to take Fiend Hunter out of the main deck altogether, been playing a lot of Delver lately. Gale is in the SB as well as DoJ due to a lot of GR aggro and B/W tokens decks.
My problem is that I feel playing no fiend hunters hurts me against a few match-ups game 1, while helping me against others. I guess its a push. Side in 2 for the abolishers where it will help. Still wish I could fit Dismember in the side-board for something. There are two decks at my normal FNM running Phyrexian Crusader. Maybe take out the timely's? Bleh.

Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have. - René Descartes
I'm still on the edge with Mana Leaks and Day of Judgement. Delver-Spirits is a really hard match-up so Day of Judgement seems decent, but I might be changing that to Ratchet Bomb. I am trying to prepare for everything since I my meta is really diverse.
This is what I am expecting:
Delver-Spirits (UWB)
Wolf Run
Delver-Pike
Zombies
Ugh...have to love a diverse meta.
So my SB might change to this:
-2 DoJ, -1 Celestial Purge, -1 Leonin, -1 Thalia
+2 Ratchet Bomb, +3 Mana Leaks
What am I expecting more of? I just don't know yet.....ugh. I too am also on the edge with Mana Leak

This is for FNM
There's around 20ish players. 3 other human decks, 3 zombie, 1 delver, 1 wolfrun ramp, 2 tezzeret, 1 UB control, and the rest is homebrew.
The only one I've had trouble with is Delver, comments would be lovely.
I'm constantly changing it trying to get it ready for a meta that I am guessing I'll face.

Running 3 Geist of Saint Traft and 4 Mana Leak you'll definitely need blue sources. Unfortunately I'm sure those islands will screw you over at least once. If it were me, I would drop a geist for another plains. Running thalia and mana leak can do a number on your curve, and theres few situations where Geist is a stronger play than a Mirran Crusader
But that's just me. I still think it's solid either way.

For FoodChainGoblins build, I would put that MB Relic-Warder in the SB, and put something else in there from your 15. Relic-Warder is good, but he's situational. A 2/2 body is meh if they aren't running artifacts or enchantments worth removing. Destiny (aka more damage) is useful against any matchup. To me, If I'm running Geist, I NEED Destiny. It's just auto-win in so many situations, and Geist with no buffs is "just" a 1-turn 4 damage ping.
I'm also a fan of running 1 SoWaP and 1 SoFaF main. The protection is more spread out, and Feast and Famine's mana untapping effect is great for your build with 4 Mana Leak MB.
Here is the list i plan to play at a FNM this Friday. It seems a bit clunky to me with all the O-rings, fiend hunters and relic warders as well as pump spells. The sideboard could use a little work I guess.

But that's just me. I still think it's solid either way.
I've been lucky to not have been screwed with those 2 Islands, although I did mull a 2 Island hand into an amazing 6 card hand once. So my perception of this will be skewed because of my experiences.
Thalia does make it tough on my curve, but I have 3 Thalia and 4 Mana Leak, so hopefully I'll draw at least 1 of those in a game. Needless to say, Thalia straight up wins games (ie. vs. Tokens or Frites). Mana Leak also wins games (ie. vs. Wolf Run or Control). I like having the options.
@Apteryx - I like having the 1 of Leonin Relic-Warder because it has been so good in my experience. When I draw him, I have a decent target for him nearly always. If I don't, I can always cast another of main board 23 creatures to put the pressure. At a 1 of, honestly it shouldn't make an impact, but luckily for me, it's made an amazing impact. It also gives me a quick way to get rid of Sword of War and Peace main board as opposed to O Ring. I dropped Angelic Destiny from the main board just recently because I feel that they're only good in certain matchups (Pod, Wolf Run) and I rarely seemed to get the Geist/Destiny combo (only once recently).
@kngme11 - With six 4 drops in your deck, I would definitely go to 23, or even 24 lands. I really like the list, although I would find a way to force at least 2 Celestial Purge in your sideboard. There are a lot of Zombie threats, Inferno Titan, and Huntmaster of the Fells in the metagame.

yea I have been wanting to do that for some time, i just can't decide what to cut from my list. i can try to add in an extra purge but the majority of my meta is tokens. would you (or anyone) have any ideas on what to cut first?
Would sun titan be good as a one of in the SB or MB? It seems like it would give us an advantage in the mirror or aggro decks if it becomes an attrition battle.

If you have many Token's decks in your meta, I would suggest 3-4 Thalia in the mainboard. It absolutely wrecks them.
From your SB, I would probably remove Negate. I used to run a singleton Negate and it was underwhelming for me, so I moved on.
Sun Titan in the SB could be a good idea. Before, I never would have said so, but I've been getting flooded lately. I like him even against control, but 23-24 lands is a MUST.

.
Yea i see your point with thalia, I thought that the sword of war and peace would be good enough and i can plow through the tokens with the sword. so i lowered her count to 2 because i thought 3 would delay the sword and my other noncreature spells by a turn.
I took out a gather the townsfolk and replaced it with a plains but i'm not sure if that was the right call. The choice was between that or fiend hunter.
As for the sideboard, i followed your advice and took out the negate and added the celestial purge. I had a few playtesting games and found that the 4 mana leak is enough. However, i still want to make room for a sun titan and a 4th oblivion ring in the SB
My main competition is obviously delver mainly for the control yada yada, then I have come across frites which is a killer if they get off their bombs. Junk walkers has been popping up recently as well and Naya pod is fairly large and the only problem with that is the fact that Pod can play out of almost any situation.
I am also considering for my SB 2 Ghost quarter to deal with delver/human moorland haunt - Take grafdiggers cage down to a 1 MB 1 SB
Update: Added 1 GQ main and one Act of Aggression. Both were game enders so far going good
So theres the deck, Ive been considering removing the 4 dismembers and a Geist, for 2 Gideon's Lawkeepers and another Fiend Hunter.
The two dismember in the sideboard will be replaced by Mortarpods. The dismembers main use was against WWR, but I'm facing mostly other aggro, and they and the giest come out most of the time, and against WWR, dismember is lacking. I think the fiend hunters and mortarpod would be better. And in WWR, Lawkeepers and Pod can keep they're critters tapped or sac to kill inkmoth. Thoughts?
This is the list I will be taking to the cup qualifier this weekend (and tonight's fnm as well for some last minute tuning). It has proven itself many times and the deck has evolved over several versions based on what is popular. I really dislike Champion after all my testing hence the 0-of, and I really like seeing Thalia in all matchups hence the 4-of. The other stuff are pretty standard, though my sideboard is a little more tuned towards an expected token-heavy meta. The only matchups which I consistently lose to are decks that cheese the opponent with phyrexian crusaders, but they do badly against other decks anyway so I'm not too worred.
Remember to use proper deck tags. Explanation here.
When critiquing a deck, remember to make it clear which deck you are addressing, preferably by quoting the post with the decklist.

No Mana Leak on your 75? That's an interesting choice. How is your matchup against WRR?
But even if i did Leaks weren't doing it for me. I'd rather have Exile effects then hold up mana for a counter spell.
Angelic Destiny and O-Ring are the best cards against them and the Destinies are main and i have more o-rings to bring in.
I wanted more space for other cards so mana leak got the axe for now. We're an aggro deck. If i wanted counter spells i'd play Delver (which i do )

3 Corrosive Gale
So theres the deck, Ive been considering removing the 4 dismembers and a Geist, for 2 Gideon's Lawkeepers and another Fiend Hunter.
The two dismember in the sideboard will be replaced by Mortarpods. The dismembers main use was against WWR, but I'm facing mostly other aggro, and they and the giest come out most of the time, and against WWR, dismember is lacking. I think the fiend hunters and mortarpod would be better. And in WWR, Lawkeepers and Pod can keep they're critters tapped or sac to kill inkmoth. Thoughts?
