Alexander Hayne's deck won a tournament I heard. I don't like Block Constructed, though. 16 Miracles, if you don't draw one, you'll probably lose, but drawing an Entreat the Angels on turn 6 or 7 will basically win you the game. Just imagine one of Hayne's massive Entreats, but then add in Elesh Norn. Then you also get access to Ponder and Mana Leak; this deck was strong in Block Constructed, but it becomes even better outside of it. Plus, with dual lands, I think you can get away with 25 lands instead of the 27 Hayne ran.

i think youve taken away from the simplicity of haynes deck. it revolves around a guaranteed untapped land unless you need one, and it is basically a game delay until you win. you dont need elesh norn because the angels are fucking flyers anyway. there are like 8 sweep cards in the deck aside from tamiyo and feeling of dread constantly tapping. Once you complicate the deck, it takes away from your best odds at drawing a miracle when you need one. his deck turned miracle cards into non miracles. this has too much in it to allow the miracles to be anything more than dumb luck

What are you even talking about? I'm going to have untapped lands. This deck runs the same number of Evolving Wilds that his deck ran. The dual lands great cards that he didn't have access to; if you think that he would have preferred to play without them, then you're an idiot. As long as you play your lands properly and mulligan at the right times, you should still be ready to play those important miracles. Also, with Ponder you can better set up those Miracles so that they are not just a sudden thing you need to be ready for. Elesh Norn is a great card, especially when you able to delay for as long as this deck can. Yes those Angels are ridiculously good, but there are four of them in this deck. Chances are you will draw them, but if not, there are two more cards that will help delay until you can get them and can win the game by herself. Plus--especially right after you drop 3-4 Angels, if you can play her suddenly all their fliers are dead and you have 6/6 Angels. Elesh Norn is for after you have played some Angels, but not the 6-7 Angels that will win you the game immediately. Complicating the deck? The fact that a Miracle deck won without the card Ponder still puzzles me. There is no card that is better than Ponder for setting up Miracles. The fact that Hayne won is just a testament to how ridiculously powerful these cards are. Is this the absolute best variant of this deck for the format: probably not. But that being said, I think it's pretty good and for somebody who isn't Hayne or Finkel or any other pro, I think I did a decent job. If we saw more of this format I'm sure that we'll see decks like this, especially after Hayne's miracle win. This deck is made so much stronger by Dual Lands and Ponder that it's not even funny. Mana Leak also gives you a better counterspell than anything in Innistrad Block constructed. What I am wondering about is whether Jace or Tamiyo are better for this deck. They're both good for different reasons, but I'm really not sure who would be better. Jace is a personal preference, but Tamiyo may be the new best Blue planeswalker.
I like tamiyo over jaace in this deck personally. I would even put in gideon over jace in my opinion. The role tamiyo played in the Haynes deck was to stall the opponent. lock down their threats when you had no feeling of dread or terminus. tap their important wolf run or dual land. Jace is great, but he is a mill card and this is not a mill deck (preferably) although it doesn't need to be a mill deck to mill out an opponent with jace, I don't think it should be this decks focus. Gideon also does a great job of stalling. Buy's you at the very least one guaranteed turn, normally more. That's my opinion anyway
I haven't really looked at this deck in a while, but I think you're right. I hadn't even considered Gideon as an option, but he certainly would have potential to be a good option. I think I'm going to change Jace to Tamiyo and try to squeeze a copy of Gideon into the Sideboard. Thank you very much!
