Gold Digger [UWr Delve Control]

I really didn't tested against the Monastery Mentor Miracles, and I haven't played against it neither, but I have played some matchs against traditional Miracles siding in MM. My plan against Miracles from some time ago is keep Supreme Veredict and siding in the 2nd copy also. They are not too good cards in the matchups, but they gives at least an opportunity to beat Cavern+MM.
I don't know if this plan will be enough to beat the dedicated lists, but I suspect it doesn't, but there aren't too many real options, and I think the better one in case of this matchup being prominent is add a third Supreme Veredict copy.
For the DTT vs FoF issue, for the moment I will continue playing DTT beacuse nobody is playing graveyard hate right now, but I will swap when it happens. I am seeing a little grow of Reanimator, and it wil bring more GY hate for sure.

I played this list yesterday to won my monthly Legacy tournament:

3 Snapcaster Mage
4 Force of Will
3 Counterspell
2 Flusterstorm
1 Spell Snare
4 Dig Through Time
4 Brainstorm
4 Preordain
2 Jace the Mindsculptor
4 Swords to Plowshares
2 Council's Judgment
1 Secure the Wastes
2 Pyroblast
1 Supreme Veredict
2 Wasteland
3 Tundra
3 Volcanic Island
4 Island
2 Plains
1 Arid Mesa
4 Flooded Strand
4 Scalding Tarn

SB:
2 Wasteland
2 Wear/Tear
1 Supreme Veredict
2 Vendilion Clique
1 Flusterstorm
1 Leyline of Sanctity
1 Gideon Jura
2 Surgical Extraction
2 Pyroclasm
1 Pyroblast

Participation was low, 30, but we played six swiss rounds and top8. I went:
Round 1 GWb Zenith 1-2
Round 2 Miracles 2-0
Round 3 Omnitell 0-2
Round 4 BUG Delver 2-0
Round 5 BUG Shardless 2-0
Round 6 Infect 2-0
Qs Infect 2-0
Ss BUG Shardless 2-1
Fs BUG Delver 2-0

I'm not sure how good is Flusterstorm maindeck over other options. I think it weak the Miracles matchup, because I low the one mana cost counters against Counterbalance from 5 to 3. Sure, it is far better against Delver decks and I made the 2x1 sometimes yesterday, but I'm not completely sold. I change the FoF I used to play for the 4th DTT because fluster too, to catch my opponents and being greedy XD
On sideboard I played another two wastelands to fight non-basics. I thought on playing a Crucible instead the 4th Wasteland, but against combo decks like Omnitell, Infect and ANT the wasteland is better without any doubt, and Crucible makes Abrupt Decay not dead against grindy matchups, so I finally decided against it.

4 Wastes seems excessive no? What are thoughts on Blood Moon/Ruination instead of playing wastes?

Edit: I just saw this post http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/s...l=1#post885827 that kind of explains the Wasteland vs Blood Moon thoughts.

But, now I'm wondering why they would think to bring in KGrip when they don't see any permanents.

Usually some opponents don't side out Abrupt Decay and bring in Krosan Grip because they think they are playing against Miracles.

DEP with the new banlist :frown:
