Miracles needs land quantity, and their deck is equipped to dodge the slowing effect of Winter Orb. They however cannot stall with Ankh in play. It's a "must answer" card, while Winter Orb is not.
Lands needs to make land drops to win, over and over again. Any game that they do not have turn 4 Marit Lage should yield a win for Eldrazi with Ankh in play.
