Anti [SCD] Terminus

[Crimhead]

Am I the only one that actually enjoys playing against Miracles? I enjoy the control grind, finding ways out, and also playing cards that do quite well against Terminus, Top and Counterbalance.

Miracles matches are fascinating, but sometimes they can be tedious too. Pairing against Miracles on round four of a five or six round event can be a bit overwhelming; particularly when I'm running hot and can anticipate another three hour of Legacy.

I play Lands, which has a decent chance to beat Miracles (probably close to 50/50, depending on the builds). I can only imagine how the match feels to a deck that has a very small chance of winning after an equally long and grueling fight.

But Miracles is a unique match for me, in that it's pretty much the only (non-combo) deck I ever face that can't really put pressure on me. I even board out Mazes. So while Miracles is not always a deck I'm enthusiastic to face, I would certainly miss it.

Seems about right. You should borrow a deck and jam games against Miracles.

Don't forget if they already have a terminus in the graveyard, you can wait until the miracle trigger occurs and then surgical extraction the one in their graveyard to hit the one in their hand before they can cast it.

For decks that can run it, Extirpate might be even better.

As nice as the bonus of Split Second is, there are worlds between 1 and 0 mana.

Also worlds between a blind flip and a top activation.

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't Krosan Grip really good against miracles (top and cb)? They can blind flip a judgment/other 3 drop but that is the breaks sometimes.

Someone else mentioned not overextending too. That has worked for me in the past with lingering souls, which I think is good against terminus in general.

Ask yourself what is on top of their deck when you target the Terminus in the yard to hit the one in the hand making the miracle trigger. It could be Extirpate, but it still just got killed by SDT/CB.
