Miraclesplosion

[Zupponn]

So, since the new miracle cards are catching everyone's attention, I figured I'd post what came to my mind when I saw them. Since the Dracosplosion combo already uses the top card of the deck effectively, I thought that it would be a perfect fit for the inclusion of Miracle cards. Here's a rough list:

3x Sensei's Divining Top

4x Draco

4x Erratic Explosion
4x Devastating Tide
4x Bonfire of the Damned
4x Faithless Looting
3x Temporal Mastery

4x Brainstorm
4x Force of Will
4x Lightning Bolt
3x Noxious Revival

6x Island
5x Mountain
4x Volcanic Island
4x Scalding Tarn

You might as well switch out Draco for Emrakul. Its one mana less but you can drop it with Show and Tell.


Temporal Mastery is shit in most decks, honestly. There's no possible way for you to take advantage of it here. Faithless Looting and Noxious Revival seems like they might work together but separately they don't really do much. I'd run +1 Top and splash black for Lim-Dul's Vault. Also, I don't know how good Devastating Tide is here either. You can bounce everything for 1U, sure but you don't have enough board control to effectively set up your win condition, a 2 card combo, before your opponent kills you. Try the Show and Tell approach with Emrakul and see how that works out.

Maybe this list looks a little bit better?

3x Sensei's Divining Top

4x Draco

4x Erratic Explosion
4x Devastating Tide
4x Bonfire of the Damned
3x Ponder

4x Brainstorm
4x Lim-Dul's Vault
4x Force of Will
4x Lightning Bolt
3x Noxious Revival

1x Swamp
2x Island
2x Mountain
3x Bloodstained Mire
3x Underground Sea
3x Volcanic Island
4x Scalding Tarn

Your list still lacks Emrakul. It only costs 1 less mana and you can drop it with Show and Tell. The Miracle cards are not improving your strategy. Bonfire is way too slow to be effective in Legacy while Devastating Tide is simply underwhelming. I'd rather run +4 Show and Tell and +4 Daze/Spell Pierce.

3x Sensei's Divining Top

4x Draco

4x Erratic Explosion
4x Devastating Tide
4x Bonfire of the Damned
3x Ponder

4x Brainstorm
4x Lim-Dul's Vault
4x Force of Will
4x Lightning Bolt
3x Noxious Revival

1x Swamp
2x Island
2x Mountain
3x Bloodstained Mire
3x Underground Sea
3x Volcanic Island
4x Scalding Tarn

In this list, I'd replace:

3x Ponder
4x Bonfire of the Damned

with:

4x Opt
1x Emrakul, The Aeons Torn
2x meta slot

The reason I'd replace Ponder with Opt is that, whilst Ponder digs deeper, it only does so on your turn. The two meta slots could be something like, for example, Remand (although that [i]particular card probably wouldn't be it).

[Zupponn]

I was thinking about using ponder more for the shuffle effect than to dig deeper.

A 1-of Emrakul might be interesting, but I want to stay away from Show and Tell if at all possible. It just becomes a dead card without Emrakul, whereas the deck can still do things with the Miracle cards, even if it's just buying time to set up the combo.

[heroicraptor]

Portent seems better than Opt.

[Darkenslight]

Portent seems better than Opt.

It's definitely a possibility, but, for some reason, I like the capacity to EOT Opt into quasi-Upheaval for :1::u::u:. Not ruling Portent out, but having the extra capacity to do that seems like a strong plan.

My dude,

just run show and tell, run emrakul and run Snapcaster so you can erratic explosion (or show and tell)...again! With all those basics and 2-lands its entirely feasible.

Will this work with erratic explosion, given that erratic explosion requires you to put the revealed cards on the bottom of your library?

Yeah.. the idea is that you finish them off with a reach spell or two. Thunderous Wrath seems perfect dealing 5 damage after Emrakul deals 15.
