I accidentally a whole deck. (Miracles)

Legacy Combo Competitive Control Counters RUW (Jeskai, America)

Istalya


Sideboard


Here we're taking a look at your average Miracles deck with a pretty twist. Instead of going to turn 18 with a decent sized Entreat the Angels for almost lethal, we have a tool box combo kill.

The piece that brings it all together...

Enlightened Tutor

This little guy here, grabs EVERYTHING. You want to establish your lock (Counterbalance+Sensei's Divining Top)? It can grab any piece! Your opponent's playing a graveyard-based combo deck, Snapcaster Mage or even a Tarmogoyf? You have 7 ways to pull up a Rest in Peace turn 2-3, plus top-digging. Once you got a Rest in Peace in play, we're half-way there! This leads us to...

How we win!:

Rest in Peace + Helm of Obedience (If you're unfamiliar with this combo, you have Rest in Peace in play, and activate Helm of Obedience for 1+, you mill your opponent's whole deck. Popularized in Enchantress.)

I feel this deck has all the necessary tools from the Miracles deck, with a much earlier win, and a very stable way to get there. It has answers for most ways for our opponents to interact with us, and can keep our opponents of their goal.

It's still a fresh idea and needs more testing, the core is there and I would like to see this with rounder edges. ;)

All comments are appreciated, and thank you for your time!

Edit

Some pretty big changes since the original list, we've rounded off the curve rather nicely to best support counter-top while adjust our tool-box selections pretty well. We're now looking at a mainboard one-of Blood Moon, this shuts down so many decks beautifully, especially game one. With Enlightened Tutor, we might as well be running 4. We have one main Entreat the Angels and some Pryoblast action. We've added in an Energy Field , the synergy with Rest in Peace is a win con by itself, left un-checked.

Rounding off this curve has forced several new win-cons and a beautifully synergied deck. Thanks a lot so far everyone!
