No, if you draw your miracles and can't put them back without Brainstorm it's miserable. This has been tried and tried, it's just to hard to stack your draws correctly with only Telling Time.
I also have a lot of scry and {badimar depths} but I didn't think so either. I have a lot of the cards so I'm going to try it tonight anyway.

Yeah, you're not Alexander Hayne, can't luck sack your way to victory.
I know. Either way it's a gimmicky deck and I like playing those

I feel like some {Visions from Beyond} would be nice.

How on earth would that help?
Do you mean {Serum Visions}?
I traded all mine away...

If you draw a miracle you can send it back and draw cards. Sounds good to me.

The deck did alright. Beat out zoo (Terminus is funny) got wrecked by twin, beat soul sisters after getting an extra turn, and then tied with UWR control

{seraph sanctuary} seems like more of a hindrance than a help.

{Taigam's Scheming} is the perfect card for miracle. You set up for 5 draws

The guy playing soul sisters got bad draws but the terminus against zoo was amazing

I second this.
You don't want a card that does nothing in this deck.

"Sets up 5 draws."

"Card that does nothing."

Miracles plays with their topdecks...
It still is just spending a card to just set up a draw. It's bad

A card for five draws. If it had "draw a card" on it it'd be rare and $10+ Maybe it's not so great but it's been great to cast in other decks.

Yeah. Some guy wanted to buy a modern deck so I told him 370 and it's yours and he went ahead and did it. I told him what you guys told me.
