Thanks for this interesting argumentation :)
Do you keep all Mentors against fast combo ?
I guess with your discard + mage package, it seems not that risky to tap out for it, not like in UWr...
How has been Sword of Fire and Ice for you ?
In which matchup do you put it in ?
I have always played Sword of Feast in Famine in this 3rd equipment slot mainly since it is the only good...
I saw you Top8'ed again in the Challenge yesterday, that's very impressive man ! Congratz :)
The deck looks like a blast to play and is for sure favored against Czech Pile.
Some random...
Congratulations for your very good result with this underappreciated deck :) .
What do you think about Collective Brutality in your discard deck featuring Lingering Souls ? It seems to be a very...
I understand your points but it doesn't help me choosing which deck I should test next haha :tongue: (I played Stoneblade and BUG Shardless in the past, Miracles for a few years, I tried 4c Control...
That's a very fair point JackaBo. It is true that people try to optimize their 4c Control to beat other 4c Control (I have faced a lot of Sylvan Library and Painful Truths, even a miser Divert which...
The deck almost didn't put any results in the last 2 major US tournaments despite being played (only the best player in the room Ondrej Strasky made quaterfinal with it at the EW but 0 version made...
I am interested to test out this deck on MTGO.
TheArchitest : you seem to be very experienced with the deck. You said that you would not have 0 answer MD to Chalice and in your last version you...
32:55 and 35:16: I understand better now your play with your fear of discard spells. However, once he played Birchlore Ranger rendering Jace way worse, it might have been better to look for better...
Play a Mountain in your SB (or MD) and your problems of red mana against Delver, DnT and BUG Shardless will be over. You will also notice that your win pourcentage will increase. Having a reliable...
I would like to come back to the match between Reid Duke and Anuraag Das.
I found this match very interesting but there are some plays from Das that i would like to comment. Maybe it would lead to...
@Son Alexander
This is how i would build it:
1 Mountain
1 Plains
1 Volcanic Island
2 Arid Mesa
2 Karakas
3 Tundra
I know there are not many results for the Legend version but there are still some: Joe Losset keeps playing it and doing good results with it and i personally finished 14th at GP Lille and 2nd at the...
Pithin Needle and Izzet Statiscaster are great in the Infect matchup.
Cavern of Souls + Izzet Statiscaster is basically game over against Infect (if you are still alive on Turn 3 of course ^^;).

@Quasim0ff : I agree that 18 blue sources is not ideal to be able to play very reliably CB and CS on Turn 2 (20 sources is needed to have >90% to have UU on Turn 2), but i think it's still fine....
I still think a Legend hybrid version is better especially when Miracle is the number one deck...

Philipp2293: Yes, i don't like to have many removals against Miracles after board. Against a list with 2 Mentor, i think 2 Terminus, 0 StP is perfect. If you know your opponent plays 4 Mentors, keep...
Finally a nice discussion about the flash creatures of the deck.
I'm a big fan of the Legend mechanic, especially with Venser. I'm also totally aware of the power of Ponder to increase regularity...
I'm still not decided between Spell Pierce and REBs MD.
Sure Spell Pierce tend to be dead in the late game but you are already favored in the late game against a very large portion of the field....
Thank you for your answer.
I have always been playing at least 2 Entreat the Angels in my Miracle but it might be time to move on ^^;.
Decks where you really need them (Jund and BUG Shardless)...
Congratulations !
In your testing, didn't you have problem to close game one in reasonable amount of time without Entreat/Mentor main deck ?
I have also been thinking that there is other possibility to play a Jeskai control deck without playing a classic Miracle version.
Here is the version i would like to test out:
1 Cavern...
Running this list will greatly increase your chance against those two decks:
22 LANDS
4 Flooded Strand
4 Island
4 Scalding Tarn
3 Tundra
2 Karakas
2 Arid Mesa
Here is the list i played to a 14th place finish:
