    The (somewhat salty) Miracles pilot is then left wondering what happened, and in true Snoopy form says "Curse You Red Baron!"
    This has been somewhat popular around my LGS (and others in the area) ever since Snoopy became the mascot of Miracles...

    The matchup isn't that bad from the Shardless side. I was something like 5-1 against Ur Delver over 2016, though I did catch a few lucky breaks, so my guess is that the matchup is close to even.




    Shardless BUG:
    Worst- Burn?
    Best- Other blue midrange decks

    Stoneblade:
    Worst- Shardless BUG
    Best- ?
    From the Shardless side, that matchup has felt about as close to unloseabe as it gets. I've beaten ANT with Esper Stoneblade. I've never beaten Shardless, and I've never lost a sanctioned match to a Blue Stoneforge deck with Shardless.

    Aggro Loam:
    Worst- ?
    Best- ?
    Worst - probably Sneak and Show
    Best - probably ANT, maybe Grixis Delver.

    Re: Worst matchup for each deck

    For Elves, Sneak Show with OmniTell feels like far and away our worst matchup.
    The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
    1. Discuss the unbanning of Land Tax Earthcraft.
    2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
    3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
    4. Stifle Standstill.
    5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
    6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
    7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).

    There are times this feels utterly unwinnable on the draw for any deck without pitch magic. When they say, Ponder off an Island ... and don't shuffle. Pass and your hand is like Creatures, Removal and Lands. Then sol land, derp and tell, omnichimp, derp. The hate cards that beat dropping Omni and having the Ape Demon or Emrakul in hand are pretty slim.

    The gentleman's agreement keeps the format from being a complete shit show.

    Doesn't Death&Taxes shit on OmniDerp though? Mana Denial+Thalia, Karakas on the dudes.
    I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums

    You have been kicked out of the game.

    Meet Omni Science. Emrakul and Griselbrand unfortunately are creatures.

    There are sane solutions to just Show and Tell -> Dude. But when they have Omniape and 900 cantrips a good number of well designed hate cards just become textless (see: Containment Priest). Even if they just have Omniape and some cantrips, you are normally hosed. There's almost nothing that plays around Omniape because you won't get priority before they can put Emrakul on the stack. Banishing Light style effects do something, but not against Griselbrand. Omnirhesusmonkey makes it almost impossible to have a 'best' hate card, for a strategy that literally a fucking piece of field moss can assemble.

    Agree with you on the worst, anything with show and tell + most decks that can power out a quick blood moon e.g. stompy/painter on most draws. As for best I don't know about ANT, I think loam does have some draws that completely shut down the deck but the deck is just too inconsistent to get those draws often.

    Enchantress is probably Lands worse matchup, ton of basics, can't interact with creatures. Elephant Grass and Rest in Peace hose the deck hard.

    Ghost Quarter is good against Enchantress, but the match is rough (especially if they bring in Blood Moon).

    But Lands' worse match is far and away High Tide.

    While this is true, the simplicity of the combo also seems to result in a bunch of people playing the deck that really don't know what they're doing with it, and completely over relying on Omniscience as a guaranteed win. I won two games against different opponents a couple weeks ago just by bouncing it in response to Intuition/Cunning Wish, and I basically suck at this game. Also, turns out having your own Grizzlebees is pretty good against SnT decks.

    Also I just realized I replied to a comment that's 9 months old by a banned user, so apparently I suck at reading too.
    10/10 good necro.
    I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

    For the new Miracles players out there, what do you think are the best and worst matchups for the deck post top ban?

    Worst: 12 Post Stompy

    lands in my experience. burn and czech pile (and other similar bug midrange things) are also probably less than 50%.
