I'm a big fan of Miracles, big and beautiful Angels, and Magali Villeneuve. The deck is definitely inspired in part by the reddit user counterbalancetop, my earlier budget/casual as hell miracles deck, and Legacy's former top dog.

Linvala, the Preserver , Monastery Mentor , Narset Transendent, Cast Out , and Search for Azcanta   are the maindeck Magali cards, and are all pretty damn good. Negate and Healing Grace are the sideboard ones.

Deck is basically UW control, early game counters and removal to make sure you survive to the late game and drown your opponent in bloody feathers to win. Ways to win are Entreat the Angels , Monastery Mentor , Baneslayer Angel , Linvala, the Preserver , Lyra Dawnbringer , and Celestial Colonnade .

Precognition Field is really fucking cool. Especially when it lets you cast a majority of the deck, lets you know if a miracle is on its way, and allow you to filter at instant speed while holding counterspells up. Narset Transcendent is a great source of card advantage.

I don't own Jace, the Mind Sculptor or anymore Celestial Colonnades. Riverwise Auger sucks, and his slot is better taken by better things, and hard cast miracle cards are still powerful.

The deck has been doing work for me. I've been very well at my local meta, consistently going 2-1 or 3-0 since I went harder on the Monastery Mentor plan. Control mirrors are pretty difficult though, I haven't faired well at all against Tron, Burn is difficult as usual for control, deck's got decent game against Humans and RB Hollow One though
