I largely agree with your analysis, and really like the board you posted. Obviously I will vote in favor of 1x Tendrils!

Dread of Night / Massacre
I think your points about Dread of Night vs D&T...

Thanks for the kind words!
Tendrils serves double duty, as it replaces Ad Nauseum against aggro decks that run burn and it comes in against Miracles.
I think you can shave 1 Chain of Vapor and use...

If you're intent on running 1 Surgical + 1 Karakas + 2 Xantid Swarm, I would strongly recommend against the 2nd Karakas.
At 2 Pithing Needle, 1 Karakas, 2 Xantid Swarm, you already have plenty of...

With the sideboard you played at Ovino9, I would sideboard the way you proposed.
However, I think you should change your sideboard.


(for reference: Your Ovino9 sideboard vs Miracles:
3 Abrupt...

I'm on something almost identical to what you proposed.

Disruption: 4 Cabal Therapy, 2 Thoughtseize
Kill cards: 1 Empty the Warrens, 4 Infernal, 1 Gifts, 1 Grim

The rest of the deck is...

(as background, I have started testing Gifts as IT #5, and wrote about it extensively in the TPS thread)

Gifts Ungiven as kill spell has these modes:
-7 mana kill with Infernal Tutor in graveyard...

I agree completely on the power of SDT, but think you should consider Needle. I wrote about this earlier but an issue with Miracles game 2-3 is they're trying to assemble double Counterbalance, which...

Awesome!
glgl, hope you get paired against Elves all the way to the top 8! If you have time, take notes on the trial so you can include it in a report!

I really am excited by Burning Wish lists, but have had trouble with them myself.
My experience has been really similar to nevilshute's - I find that they hurt the Delver matchup.
Delver
Could...

Good luck!!!
Hope to see you take down another one. Please write a report, your reports have been really valuable.

I am always happy to help fellow storm players!
Hatebear Decks
White hatebears are a lot more dangerous than they look. In particular, Mother of Runes + Thalia is very strong against us and is hard...

Xantid Swarm vs Young Pyromancer
Before you construct your SB for Miracles, you need to choose which strategy you're going with. If you're playing Young Pyromancer, you are consciously deciding to...

The "man plan" is a respectable strategy against Miracles, but it's not devastating.
The only way for Miracles to have 0 sweepers against you is if they decide to run 4 Swords, their max number of...

Happy to help :)
Divert
I absolutely would advise against boarding Divert.
This card has never been good, and has gotten worse in the last three years.
BUG Delver runs anywhere from 0-4 Hymn to...

Sensei's Divining Top Against Miracles
Sensei's Divining Top is so good, that I think the decision to board it in should be made irrespective of your decision to board in creatures, regardless if...

I second everything Ghiwo and CabalTherapy posted.

I'd like to add that Abrupt Decay in Storm is weak against Wasteland decks. Casting it on turn 2 is a bit of disaster. If you played Underground...

Miracles will always board in Izzet Staticaster
You can expect them to always sideboard Izzet Staticaster if they have it and understand their deck. I'd also expect them to keep it in game 3, even...

Chaam,
Running Burning Wish in non-TES storm is a respectable strategy, but it is currently unpopular due to the red mana requirements (BW -> Past in Flames requires access to double red). Normally,...
