Good luck at FNM, hope you don't face too many Caryatid/Courser or U/W control decks. Although I guess between Deicide and Ajani's Prensence/God's Willing you have some cards to defend yourself.
Those aren't common where I play FNM. I think my son and maybe one other guy I saw last time plays W/U; both are more permission than control so I tend to burn them out of counterspells with a bunch of one-drops. I do have a couple Deicides, couple Banishing Lights and a set of Brave the Elements in there though as either ghetto counterspelling or end-game creature pushes.
I did play against a Caryatid/Courser deck last time and that's where I made my rules error. He attacked with a mob with double attack, I didn't realize I could use my Spear of Heliod to kill it between rounds of damage. Otherwise I'd have wiped him easily. As I said, that was a user error, not a problem with the deck. The other round I killed him quick and held out for a while the third time.
Edit: Now I'm thinking about sideboarding my Deicides and replacing them with Keening Apparitions.
