Looking for some critism on the deck that me and a few friends put together. Thinking that after some testing, this may be the list that I bring to the GP.

Venser doesn't really belong here, and Clique is more of a board card. If you want creatures beyond Snappy, run Monastery Mentor in main. I'm a bit torn as to whether Mentor belongs in main or board, so I'll leave it up to you.

Miracles is a pretty well tuned deck overall, seeing as how it'll probably be about 15-20% of the field at the GP. The standard shell looks like this:

Land - 21
2x Arid Mesa
4x Flooded Strand
4x Polluted Delta
3x Tundra
2-3x Volcanic Island
3-4x Island
2x Plains (Karakas would be a reasonable choice in place of one of these)

Creatures
3x Snapcaster Mage
2x Monastery Mentor (optional)

Other Spells
4x Brainstorm
4x Ponder
4x Sensei's Divining Top
4x Swords to Plowshares
4x Counterbalance
2x Counterspell
3x Jace, TMS
4x Force of Will
1x Council's Judgment
2x Entreat the Angels (-1 if running Mentor)
4x Terminus (-1 if running Mentor)

Sideboard - 15
3x Flusterstorm
3x REB/Pyroblast (some combination thereof)
2x Vendilion Clique
2x Wear // Tear
2x Surgical Extraction
2x Containment Priest
1x Izzet Staticaster

It's the deck to beat right now, and there will be a lot of other people playing it, but it doesn't autopilot like Burn either. Best thing I can suggest is to proxy up the other top decks with your buddies and practice it a ton against those decks.

I saw this one and tested against it a bunch last night. I beat it like 8 out of the 10 games that we played.
However, that was also after I changed my list to the non creature version, just 2 mentors and 3 snaps as the creatues.
