from my understanding of protection rules,

the protection would be in effect only as long as the nemesis is being targeted, this would be bypassed by targeting the player controlling Nemesis instead. 

any indiscriminate sweepers and effects that would force an opponent to sacrifice a creature (assuming they would pick the nemesis) would be able to get rid of it.

the one thing that stands out to me is that you may be frustrated with the Fellhide Brawler, he needs another minotaur to block, and you don't have many in your deck.  You may be attacking with him most of the time, but there will be situations where you may be better served with him jumping infront of something

I would like to add support for this idea.

hoping the more support for this, the higher on the priority list it will move

also, thank you to all the admns that make this site possible

it depends on which side of the table the wing puncture is from Sigarda.  on the same side (say she is the first target doing the damage) then go ahead and target away.  If they are on opposite sides and an opponent is trying to use Wing Puncture to take out Sigarda, then the answer is no. 

the key part in wing puncture is that the first creature deals its damage to a TARGET creature.  the creature is doing the damage, but the spell is saying who gets it, which will be stopped by hexproof.

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read and respond!  It is easy to miss some things that would seem obvious when you are looking from the inside.(like Selesnya Charm )

the link from the OP is the updated deck. 
the other decks that I played were WR agro, BR, and GR Hexproof

I have made some changes to the list, and at its first FNM outing managed 3-1 with the only match loss to a mono-black devotion deck.

Life-gain was shifted from an emphasis to a nice bonus, and most wins were gotten as a result of explosive heroic triggers

question - most effective way of dealing with mono-black and its abundance of removal?

I have fleecemanes on the way,

looking for opinions,
Pacifism - Sideboard worthy or not at all?

I am more trying to guess the "personality" of the minor gods - what kind of decks can be expected to build around them

Looking through Theros cards, there are hints as to who the gods will be
**this is conjecture and guesswork**

Gw -Karametra [god of the harvest?] *guessed from Karametra's Acolyte)
Bw - Athreos [the feryman of the dead?]  *guessed from (Scholar of Athreos / Sentry of the Underworld)
Uw - Ephara *guessed from (Ephara's Warden)
Rw - Iroas *guessed from (Priest of Iroas)
Bg - Pharika *guessed from (Pharika's Mender)
Ug - Kruphix *guessed from (Prophet of Kruphix)
Rg - ???Xenagos???
Ub - Phenax [god of lies and secrets] *guessed from (Disciple of Phenax/ DailyMTG - Uncharded Realms)
Rb - Mogis [god of minotaurs]*guessed from (Deathbellow Raider)
Ru - Keranos *guessed from (Steam Augury)

The local environment (given my limited exposure) leans more toward the budget and home-brews.

Fleecemanes would definately help protect from removal . . .

I appreciate the advice

I am starting to get in to competative FNM  and have the following deck ready to start
http://deckbox.org/sets/545067

it feels a little schizophrenic, like it is trying to do too much.
I would appreciate suggestions on how to make this a little more focused,
using my current inventory (as my budget for cards is now $0)

Preface to posting, I am just starting to look into competative play,

Have you thought about the interplay of Fabled Hero and Unflinching Courage,
with nothing else, that gives you a 5/5 lifelink trample double strike

(yes he would be a target for removal, but one successful swing or block would give your Voracious Wurm +10)

In trading opportunities, would it be feasable to add multiple areas for local trades?

for example, I am in a small town right between and close to 2 different larger active gaming communities.
I would like to be able to search for local trades in both communities without having to go into my profile and change my location to search for trades in each area.

(if there is already a way to do this, please tell me)
