One list I found personally very helpful in coming to terms with the deck is the truly ancient Adam Prosak list from 2014, from this article here:...
The problem with extracting deck info from a forum is threefold for a beginner, though. First, it's not a tractible solution because a forum isn't designed to be a concise vehicle. Second, it's...
I play Crucible too, and it does a pretty good Loam impression. It helps against Extractions, obviously, and bringing it back with Academy Ruins brings inevitability against Miracles.
In...
The best recent treatment of the deck as a whole, in my opinion, is the Brainstorm Show episode 32.
They have a couple of other podcasts featuring Storm that are worth checking out, but their...
The old lists certainly are charming, both for those of us who were actually playing the deck at that time and more recent converts to Marit Lage. They have a different flow to them, depending on the...
Yeah, a 20/20 factory is a beautiful thing when they can't interact with it.
Lately I've been taking a walk down memory lane and exploring ancient builds of the deck, you know: back when it used...
Yeah, Prime Time has a special place in my heart as a former 12 Post player. Actually, I bought my Tabernacle originally not out of a desire to play Lands, but as a sideboard card for my 12 Post...
I threw together an initial list designed to go hard on blue, running Vendilion Clique, 2 Trops, Intuition, Tolaria West, the whole show really... and I'd say it's a bust. Even taking into account...
I don't think it's the 3 mana that kills T West, it's the UU in the cost that must be paid at sorcery speed. That's pretty poor against DRS, and I think the UU necessitates double Tropical Island......
I personally love Empty very much, possibly to an unreasonable degree: possibly, indeed, to an unwarranted degree. I just love swinging with a horde of Goblins.
More than that, though, getting...
TNN has never been a problem for me. Either he can't be cast to begin with because I'm all up in that manabase, or he lands before I get all up in that manabase and Tabernacle takes him down, or he...
Right, I did not vote for Gitaxian Probe. I expected some degree of surprise that no one voted for Gitaxian Probe as I cast a vote for Preordain.
Port and Karakas are some of my favorite cards in the deck, and I love even just talking about them. I'll start with Port.
Awhile ago I made as thorough a "+/-" list as I could for Port and Ghost...
I wouldn't say that Lotus Petal is low impact, it's either very important (red source for Past In Flames) or absolutely critical (initial mana sources post-Ad Nauseaum). The side benefits of the card...
Kind of a valid question at least, which is strange because before the ban the idea of an Esper Miracles was a very effective way to troll this thread. The value of blasts in Legacy is still high,...
I deserve no credit for this list, I just take Sparkii's lists and tweak a few cards here and there to suit my tastes.
// 60 Maindeck
2 Engineered Explosives
4 Mox Diamond
4 Exploration

I'm quite chagrined that Miracles is somehow in the DTB section while we're down here with "hoi poloi" in coach. We shall see what the real control deck in the format is! They cannot contain the...
But.... but... Tracker makes the pretty little light in their eyes go out, that light that began sparkling when they resolved Surgical Extraction and Pithing Needle...
Definitely test it out. It was a bit of a bust for me, bit that's because of the style of play I engage in. I just fire off spells instintively. With experience, this is sound: though not as reliable...
My sideboard against Delver:
-1 Manabond
-3 Gamble
+2 Tireless Tracker
+1 Chalice of the Void
+1 Seismic Assault
I simply try to avoid any graveyard hate they've brought in (mostly...
Jody actually did a really long and excellent deck tech right after the GP performance, and he explains all of his choices at fairly great depth: especially Drop of Honey. I'll be happy to summarize...
Yeah, when they see that key answer card on top and sit back trying to play it cool, inwardly praying that you'll give it to them. That's the best time to durdle, then mill it at the last moment as...
Yeah it's hilarious, this deck that is utterly unbearable to play against is what makes modern bearable as a whole. As long as Lantern is real I'll play the format.
It depends on how much support you are giving to your lands. There's a lot of utility you can get out of a simple Karakas or Bojuka Bog with minimal cost or effort or other support. At the other...
