Hero is better than resto angel for aggro. Sideboard accordingly. I'll bump my new UW delver deck so you can see my sideboard. My sideboard has answers to about 4 of my metas decks. Delver Mirror, ramp, zombie, and birthing pod.

With MBC picking up? Run {Restoration Angel}. Sounds like your deck already has plenty of aggri creatures, and probably has plenty of damage. Resto angel would work great against MBC to shutdown Tragic slip/doom blade/go for the throat etc.

Wolf run blue is just annoying for me. I just hate primeval titan so much argh.
Here the main problem is {cavern of souls}. Dont wanna run {ghost quarter} but i gotta find a way to race them. During last local std event. I beat this wolf run blue deck 2-1 b4 top 8 and this deck just had trouble with {hero of bladehold}. i had {mutagenic growth} for their {whipflare} to protect my {geist of saint traft} but i lost to it on top 4. Help here pls

{Restoration Angel}...for being able to blink {Snapcaster Mage} and reuse his ability. Flash blocking. You can force {Geist of Saint Traft}, then they block, flash, blink and get your Geist back and force 4 dmg with the Angel.

{Restoration Angel} synergies with Delver decks perfectly, and {Hero of Bladehold} just beats people up.
