Please Critique this 5CG-Deck which I have built for playing in the German
Magic League.

Because the environment is mainly Sligh and Big Blue I tried to build a
kind of Meta Deck. But this deck should still be strong against other deck
types. So i decided to play a standard 5CG-Deck and made some small
modifications:

1.I replaced disenchants with Giant Growth to protect my creatures from DD
and   to get my Boa's around a Quicksand.
2.I only play with 2 MoW and 2 Memory Lapse because they are less useful
against   Sligh
3.I play 2 Worbs and 2 Armageddons because the Worbs can be played early
against   Big Blue and the Geddons are more effective against Sligh.

In the sideboard I included 6 cards vs Sligh and 6 vs Big Blue:
4 Pyroblast  4 Hydroblast
2 CoP:Red    2 Terror(easy to kill even the big flyers and Suq'Ata's)
3 Disenchants(mainly against disk's, but i can't imagine another use for
them)

Finally, the deck looks like this:

4 Granger Guildmage         4 Undiscovered Paradise
4 Quirion Ranger            3 Gemstone Mine
4 Birds of Paradise         1 City of Brass
4 River Boa                 10 Forest
4 Jolrael's Centaur
4 Maro

4 Giant Growth

2 Memory Lapse
2 Man-O-War

2 Terror
4 Incinerate

2 Armageddon
2 Winter Orb

Questions:
1. Do I need Disenchants in the main Deck ?
2. Should I replace some creatures with Derelors ?
3. Are there creatures which are more effective against Sligh AND Big Blue
than
   the creatures I play with ?
4. How is the general performance of a 5CG-Deck against the field(against
the "Decks to Beat" at the Dojo)?
5. Is there a better possibility to design a metadeck against Sligh and Big
Blue?

Thanks in advance,

Dominik Kofert
