Angel Feathers are still pretty strong with Ramiel R, I still use the deck pretty often.

They've just had most of the thought and skill taken out of them. Especially Zerachiel, which is just: Call Sariel, break ride if able, reach 4 damage, beat faces.
I'd agree if Celestials actually used the damage zone that much. Both of their major bosses don't use counterblasts (Remiel "R" doesn't even touch her own damage zone), though. Well, Zerachiel can, but you're discouraged from it with the way you're limited in total face-up damage.
The removal of skill is simply a result of the power creep that's been happening since Season 3. The initial power creep was forgivable as it power creeped Crossrides out of being stupid. Then, Season 4 starts and we take another giant leap in power creep. Now, to be fair, more powerful cards does not automatically equal removal of skill, and there are still decks that are very technical and skill based. However, a lot of this power creep has centered around the introduction of more and more restanding vanguards which, with the exception of a few like Tetra Drive - who is weaker than his cousins because of the loops you need to jump to trigger his restand - these restanding vanguards are absolutely mindless to pilot. There are just as many, very likely more, of these auto-pilot decks as there are technical decks.
