Is the title sarcasm, because this is anything but abzan.

I'll let you decide that one.

Maybe you should change it, because some meaner people will probably post some not so nice things about it. Just a word of advice.

Meh, let the storm come, people pick their battles, and I choose not to fight. Thank you though, I appreciate your concern.

Well, maybe you could swap out a Lava Spike or two for Flame Slash.

Also, Treasure Cruise is banned (don't worry, I read the description), but honestly, I think that Dig Through Time is better.

I take it you intentionally titled your deck, as it's none of those archetypes?

Thunderous Wrath is horrible. You could be playing Entreat the Angels instead. In order to successfully play any Miracles in Legacy, Sensei's Divining Top should be a playset. You may want to add Counterbalance for the counter lock too.

Due to the unfair decks in the format, Force of Will and Daze are a must. A lone Misdirection is nice too.

while it's fundamentally true tha Legacy has no shortage of broken wins, it doesn't mean you play in such an environment, or that you can afford answers like Force of Will. This is a true casual deck, the way it should be.

I build lots of decks like this, meant to be strong but not broken by any extnsion of the word.

I'm curious about two recent cuts: Pyromancer's Ascension and Narset Transcendent. I was really looking forward to playing those in a similnar deck I'm building, what's your feedback on those? Also, I think Thunderous Wrath is a risky move, I would't want to have to cast it for six, how often did this card botch, by your testing?

I cut them to make for creatures, but Narset works great. Pyro works great if you can get it within the first two or three turns. Thunderous Wrath works very well when there's Brainstorm working side by side. I've never had a problem with it. I constantly am changing the deck when I get bored, or if I want to slow it down.

Daze is a suitable replacement for Force of Will and should still be considered. As should Delver of Secrets  Flip, as this looks to be more of a Tempo build. That being said, this deck is going in two different directions, control and tempo, which are wholly different decks.

If you wish to go the Tempo route, cut the Miracles, as they'll clog up your strategy. If you wish to go control, add more counters, Top, and so forth that I've mentioned previously.

And out of curiosity, what playgroup allows you to play banned cards? Cuz if that's the case, I'm playing playsets of Strip Mine, Sol Ring, Demonic Tutor, Flash, Mental Misstep, and so forth lol.

Well boyo, we build decks that are fun, and run any card we want. If we agree that a deck is winning too quickly we see how to change that best. Those cards are nifty, sure, but a very different meta has developed amongst my chaps. You're looking to win quickly, I'm not. This isn't a legacy deck.

I have access to any card, don't worry about budget. My deck could suddenly be entirely just FoWs.

about bans/restrictions: If a card is restricted in every format, just pack 1. Then you Just grab the deck and play. it used to be simpler before, and formats have existed for most of the game's life. It shouldn't be such a big issue for casual players.

Now then, I'm sure Isochron Scepter seems too obvious, but I've always found it great with cards like Magma jet and Lightning Helix, Boros Charm, etc, not just Orim's Chant or Counterspell. Scepter is still one of my favorites. Of course it's no good with the Miracles.
