A replacement for top?

Legacy Deck Help forum

Could there be a card to replace top in miracles? I feel like mirri's guile could work to create a bant miracles deck. It may not be as efficient as top and you would need a way to read your opponents hand but I feel like it could work. Does anyone have any other suggestions for top replacements?

I would personally use Scroll Rack and play with Mox Diamond and Land Tax in the deck. You get took ahead further than just 3 cards and dig deeper for the spells you need.

This has been quite popular on MTGO recently, it doesen't play Counterbalance anymore since it's not reliable enough without Top but you can still set up Terminus with Ponder, Brainstorm and Portent and a one mana instant speed board wipe is stil really good. Plus Unexpectedly Absent + Predict is really neat.

Surprised Soothsaying wasn't mentioned. I mean, it ain't the greatest, but it could be way worse. It probably has the largest direct connection to Sensei's Divining Top.

Darksteel Pendant is what I use as a budget "top".
