Another FNM with 2 Deputy maindeck and again it gave me a bunch of wins.
I think it's one of the best human that isn't already being played by everyone.
2-0 vs Monogreen Tron
G1 had a fast land that killed on turn 4 with Reflector bouncing his Wurmcoil
G2 kept a hand with a lot of disruption (2 MM and Image) and got to lock a lot of his board wipes/removals and went chipping his life. He landed a Karn that I kept in control while applying pressure to his life. When he played Wurmcoil, Reflector Mage sealed the deal bouncing it and attacking for lethal.
2-1 vs Ponza
G1 kept him off from Moon with Freebooter after a slow start on his side. Reflector kept Courser of the board when he had 3 mana and my Champion got huge.
G2 I bricked on draws after we traded some stuff and I overcommited on the board, which made possible for an Anger to turn the board to his favor after he played Stormbreath to completely block my huge Champion.
G2 kept a greedy hand with 1 land, 2 dorks, Champion and Reflector Mage. But I was on a mull to 5, so that was acceptable. Scryed Vial on top and he missed his 3rd land drop. He kills my Parish, and some turns later I had 3 Reflector Mages on the board (one being Phantasmal). The tempo loss was too great for him to come back and Lieutenant ended the game.
2-1 vs RG Eldrazi
Won G1 quickly on the play. Meddling Mage got to name Smasher, since I had seen it on a trigger from Reshaper and 2 Mantis Riders raced him.
G2 he won on a land light hand of my part that didn't get there.
G3 Kept a lousy hand with 2 Images, Champion and Reflector. He killed my turn 2 Lieutenant and I had to double Image on his Reshaper. We both drew a lot of lands and, after some turns, he played Smasher. I Hostage Took it and played the next turn. Feels good to win against Eldrazi using Eldrazi.
0-2 vs BR Pack Rat Rabble Moon
G1 Mull to 5, kept 1 land, got Moon'd and never drew the 3rd land.
G2 Mull to 6, kept 1 land, got Moon'd AND KCommanded destroying Vial and killing my Noble. Never drew the 2nd land.

I like the idea of 1of Avacyn's Pilgrim. Having access to 3 mana on turn 2 if you don't have Vial is always good, and since I'm running 2 Thalia, Heretic Cathar, this is even more appreciated.
I haven't put much thought into it yet, but wouldn't Pithing Needle be useful as a sideboard card? It stops walkers, O-Stone, manlands, Lavamancer and some stuff that can be annoying.
Anyone playing Pulse of Murasa on SB with BBE? Good against Burn and aggro decks for the lifegain and really useful on grindy matchups to return a dead/countered creature

2-0 vs UR Moon
2-0 vs GW Bogles
1-2 vs RG Eldrazi
I think I played bad on G3 here, maybe I could have won.
2-1 vs Merfolk.
G3 on the draw, he mulls and I decided to keep a hand of 3 fetches, 3 Bolts and 1 Tribal Flames. Got there. Killed 4 lords.

They could at least have published the 8-0 Zoo's decklist
