Not only does Landstill play three copies of Wasteland, but the full four copies of Mishra's Factory along with a Crucible of Worlds. However, as you can see, the early builds of Counter-Top have a much heavier focus on lands. Here we see Counter-Top taking in the now standard blue-white control shell (no red splash yet, though), and even at this early point many Miracles staples including Force of Will, Brainstorm and Swords to Plowshares are present and accounted for. However, one build of Counter-Top that emerged near the end of 2007 is clearly the forerunner of the modern Miracles build. Over the next couple years, Legacy players jammed the Counter-Top combo into just about any deck and color combination imaginable from BUG decks with Tarmogoyf and Dark Confidant, to Bant Threshold decks with Nimble Mongoose and Mystic Enforcer, to Dreadstill decks which could use Trinket Mage to search up either Sensei's Divning Top or Phyrexian Dreadnought for the Stiflenought combo. Owen Turtenwald, circa 2007 GP Columbus, 2nd place.įlash was banned in Legacy ithin a month of GP Columbus 2007, but this didn't stop people from playing Counter-Top. In fact, you could say that it hastened the deck's evolution towards its current form. At its core, Legacy Miracles is a Counter-Top Control deck, built around the hardest of soft locks in Sensei's Divining Top and Counterbalance. This combination has been seeing play at least as far back as 2007 where the combo took down the infamous GP Columbus as part of the soon-to-be-banned Flash Hulk combo deck in the hands of Steve Sadin who took down some little red-haired kid playing Goblins in his first major event top eight. Although it might not be obvious at first glance, the basic framework of the Miracles deck has been around for a long time - years before the miracle mechanic was released in Avacyn Restored in May of 2012. However, things were not always this way. In fact, it took a relatively unknown Italian Legacy player to turn the deck into the monster that exists today.
Today Miracles is a dominant force in Legacy, to the point that whenever it performs well in one of the handful of big Legacy events each year, social media call for a banning.
