I'm having a lot of trouble trying to decide UW Miracles or Jeskai Control for this PPTQ coming up this weekend. Id post decklists for both for reference but dont want to violate rules. Just know they are both pretty standard lists, just derived from a couple of the top tier lists that have been performing well.

My city metagame is mostly Tron, KCI, and Humans, with a good amount of control as well, and then theres the other normal meta decks youd expect (Infect, Burn, Affinity, Jeskai, Jund, etc).

I'm leaning towards Jeskai just because UW is clearly better against Tron and KCI if I'm expecting more of that, but I feel like lacks way too much against the creature decks. Jeskai has more trouble against those combo oriented decks, but still is fine against them while having a huge edge against creature matchups. Thoughts guys?

I think UW is better against a general field, but if you expect lots of aggro play Jeskai

I would go jeskai, putting more emphasis on main deck creature removal, and sideboard artifact removal, especially stony silence.
