I'm playing a miracles type of list and would like to hear whether you think Stoneforge Mystic or Geist of Saing Thaft fits better into my sideboard:

Should I consider running Geist of Saint Thaft in my sideboard instead of Stoneforge Mystic? There are some 12-posts and mirrors in my local meta. I figure that going aggro against either of these is a good plan for my list. That is why I have included Stoneforge. But is there any advantage to running Geist instead of Stoneforge? I have currently included Stoneforge Mystic because I figure she is strong in more matchups (Goblins, Merfolk, Burn) while being equally strong in the matchups where I want to be aggro (12 post, mirror). What do you think?

In addition to the above question I also welcome your other comments and suggestions regarding my playlist.
