U/R Miracles

[Zach]

I like the miracle mechanic. As such, it's probably entirely possible to build a U/R control(ish) list based upon this, with the intent to burn out your opponent.

Cards I'm considering

4 Temporal Mastery
4 Thunderous Wrath
4 Ponder
4 Desperate Ravings
X Concecrated Sphinx
4 Mana Leak
X Reverberate?
X Slagstorm
X Geistflame
X Brimstone Volley

Or would it be better to go for more of a Burn theme?

In your opening 7 here is the approximate chance of you having a miracle card:

8/60+8/59+8/58+8/57+8/56+8/55+8/54
=98%

My question is are you okay with having an overcosted 5 or greater cmc spell in almost all of your opening hands?

If the answer is no then I'd suggest running 4x faithless looting and other draw/discard effects. I would do this in addition to running fewer total miracle cards.

+4 Faithless Looting
+4 Noxious Revival
+4 Think Twice
+X Reclaim?
EOT Time Walk seems pretty good.

Yeah, I forgot about Faithless Looting. Ooops.
