u/w super friends

This is something I threw together to have fun with the planeswalkers that were collecting dust. It does well in preliminary testing, but I suppose it could be better. Advice/suggestions welcome

update: Well, some things became apparent: Elspeth did not do much at all, and needed to be dropped. The miracle Terminus was amazing when it happened, so I added Terminus instead of the wraths...but that didn't pan out because the rest of the shell wasn't suitable. I began to realize that I will need to include some "real cards" if I wanted it to work the way I wanted.

First to change was the landbase. I got rid of the shocks and decided to use some tundras instead, which was fine. Since I do tend to face fair amount of creature decks, a single tabernacle seemed like a good fit as well...and it is. When on the field, it does stop people from setting up early alpha strike, thus giving me time to find Terminus and removal.

Next was the manipulation. 1 top was not enough, so 3 extra were added. In addition, I opted for a Trinket Mage to fetch those or Engineered Explosives (which added Academy Ruins, Underground Sea and Tropical Island to the land base). Brainstorm went in, Preordain came out. With that much control over my draws, Entreat the Angels seemed as a superior wincon than Baneslayer Angel (although the Lifelink is indeed nice).

The control suite was in need of work too. I opted to not run many lands, and the playtesting pointed that I was unable to safely cast jace till t6 and tamiyo/gideon till 7. That needed to change, so forces were added to alleviate that. Leaks came out, counterspells dropped to 3, though I am not entirely sure if I want to go down one more to 2. At that stage, Gideon Jura became unnecessary. I had decent control over the creatures, and his 6/6 body provided a target to all the dude hate people tend to play. He went out, but Tamiyo, the Moon Sage stayed as she did something on ultimate (which happens every now and then), as well as kept things on ice for when I want to shackle and attack back.

As it stands, the list is quite close to a legacy u/w miracles, but converting would probably have me play Counterbalance, which is not something I want to do at the moment.
