so im playign blue white flash and i am curious about how to deal with a certain card. aka: slaughter games  ! if they name restoration angel  i don't see how we can win? it takes away our only big creature and only creature with any evasion. none of the other creatures im running are vey big. such as snapcaster mage  and augur of bolas  . delver is bad right now and i dont want to runn something big like angel of serenity  . i run 11 creatures 23 instants and sorceries and 2 runechanters pike 24 lands. on casual nights i have celestial colonnade  which has won me more games than i can count but on standard nights i dont know what to do against slaughter games. ive never watched a game where someone slaughter games the uw player's resto angel so i don't know what i should do. i have tried grinding till i ca get a pike on an augur or snap but they are so little with no protection. should i consider maybe invisible stalker  ? but im not sure what i should take out since i want pike to still be affective with 23 instants and sorceries. in need of help :P o at the moment(i dont have access to geist of saint traft  .) plus i still dont know what i would take out to add 2-4 geists any way.

Slam Runechanter's Pike  on another dude? Moorland Haunt also gives evasion. You can sideboard into Jace, Memory Adept  or some other win con as well.

i do have jace in side and moorland haunt. i dont know. maybe i feel like i lose alot of power when i lose my restoration angels. i play against lots of aggro decks especially b/r zombies. i have been trying to construct decks to beat that and u/w or u/w/r flash seems really goodto me.

I'd definitely run UWR Flash if you're playing against a lot of aggro. It is kind of strange that those decks are boarding in Slaughter Games though. When you asked about it I was asumming Jund or something janky like Grixis. Jace probably won't help much against aggro.
I guess you could try Fettergeist or ...something else in the sideboard as well if you're stuck on straight U/W. Otherwise Izzet Staticaster/Pillar of Flame should help out a lot.

Counters will be the common answer I guess.

Slaughter Games  can't be countered.

Nevermore  doesn't counter anything, it prevents it from being casted. It will stop Slaughter Games or any other card, uncounterable or not.

Nah, he was correcting me and well, about me saying that countering Slaughter Games would be the common answer. I forgot that line in the card.
Cheers

usually the b/r aggro decks said they only had one. i played jund once and they ran 1 mainboard. i will definatly switch to uwr as soon as i can trade or buy the rest of the lands.(only have 1 steam vents and 1 sulfar falls atm) i didnt think of nevermore. that could be a very good option in terms of slaughter games. anything in u/w that can deal with aggro that i might be able to add mainboard or sideboard. i used to run feeling of dread  2 in main and 2 in side in my old u/w control deck. i run 4 board sweeps main too but supreme verdict  isnt so great against zombies unless they r top decking.

Ah actually just packed a deck with 4 Nevermores and bouncers and on T3 against UWx they always say "ok ok" when you cast it then when you say Restoration Angel they try to cast it in response
