People want to beat Miracles, but they also want to not play a boring deck, and so they opt for an interesting deck that loses to Miracles rather than a boring one that beats it. Or they just join the bandwagon instead lol.

For a while Shardless BUG was the possible "DTB that beats Miracles". That's fallen off a bit.

It seems like the new contenders for this title are Food Chain and Czech Pile. We'll see if they get kicked off the ladder too.

Food Chain is actually dangerous, and I've played against Czech Pile and it's probably stronger than Grixis Delver against us.

It seems that some player that consistenstly 5-0'd MTGO leagues stated playing 2 council's Judgment maindeck https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/613655#online for example.
Which are the conditions of the metagame that may push you to play two of them? Does anybody have an idea?

The increase in True Name and Leovold decks means the metagame slows down a bit which makes Council's Judgement not nearly as prohibitive at 3 mana as it used to be. It gets rid of both without triggering leovold. It can be snapped back which makes it better than EE in that regard, and it's also a 3 which is usually a problematic number for us to flip for CB. It also serves as an excellent way to get rid of an opposing CB or Jace in the mirror match.

A general (not specific) rule of thumb is that EE is better for quicker metagames and CJ is better for slower, grindier ones. Both are useful but right now it feels way bad to spend 5 mana to get rid of a Leovold or TNN with EE vs 3 mana with CJ.

Also, it flips for Leo, TNN and Food Chain.

Never thought this day would come.

RIP boys. I don't get it... but yeah. F

Goodbye and good riddance. I couldn't help it.

It's been a good run people, thanks for the fun times.

RIP Miracles Thread

Only Tier 1 or 2 deck to never have a Source primer.

See you all in Vial maverick chat guys.

That's it; I'm done with MTG.

RIP Miracles. Mistakes were made. I thought the deck was fine and if they wanted to ban something, it shouldn't have been top. My condolences to those who are more affected by this decision.

Bye Felicia.

A tier 2 fringe archetype may be possible with the Miracles cards using a Scroll Rack/Land Tax engine instead, but this deck is definitely dead.

I wish they would have banned Terminus instead. Losing Top completely kills this deck, and hurts so many other strategies too.

The Clergy of Cool will disperse like the Fellowship, but we will always be around!

Sorry guys:frown: I play ANT religiously and hate a t1 top but this is stupid.

It's so sad to see that one of the most iconic legacy cards is going out. RIP SDT and my condolesence to all miracle players.

RiP.

Hurting Painter, Nic Fit and other archetypes relying on this colourless super cantrip to compete with the powerful blue cantrips was a huge reason I didn't want to ban the Top. Should have been Counterbalance.
