Just played a sealed draft on MWS... faced this card... I was winning, and then I lost horribly. It's a stupidly costed card. Maybe the best draft card ever printed. The only miracle is that it got through R&D. Not a well-made card just ridiculously broken.
In fact, drawing this card in your first 3 turns or so, the only case where the Miracle can't be used, is probably an UNLUCKY scenario. Casting it for 5 and getting a 4/4 flying Angel, if you do get it earlier, is still top tier in draft. You have a very high chance to just flat out win if you pull this in a draft, based on its merits alone, and ignoring the rest of your deck.
@Gcruda - Please don't contribute to Doubling Season being mentioned on every single card that has "counter" or "token" in its rules text. It gets very old.

Pulled one at the prerelease, and didn't lose a single game in which I was able to cast it. Buddy of mine pulled one too, and was down 4-28 in a game when he finally miracled it. He ended up winning, not taking another point of damage.
If ever a card was worthy of a mystic slot, this is it. I want as many as I can get my hands on.

Ever had a pet die, only for your parents to hastily replace it with a new pet so you don't stay sad for long? I don't know why I thought of that, other than White Sun's Zenith.

This card is wonderful. The deck you build around it can not only enable it's hardcast, but also to snapcaster for it. XD

Have to agree this card is way too powerful in drafts. I topdecked it for 4 angels, and absolutely destroyed a guy who pretty much had the game in the bag. Or at least I would have, except he scooped on the spot.

Every card draw is like a mini lottery.

Lost a game that I was otherwise winning when an opponent with no cards in hand top-decked this, cast it for its miracle cost and dropped four angels on the board. It only happened once, but cards like this just leave a bad taste in my mouth. This seems like another wurmcoil engine, or BS angel. No skill involved, just play it and win -- in this case, you do have the miracle requirement; so, maybe it's not quite as bad.

if you MIRACLE! this card, and have at least 6 mana, you'll win. no doubt about it.
but the regular mana cost isn't that bad either.

Got this at the prerelease and every time i miracled it i won the game. one time i miracled it for 8 angels and couldn't get over it. the only time i lost having miracled it was when i was playing my opponent who managed to soulbond mist raven and deadeye navigator. he killed all five of my angels then poked me with latchseeker until i was dead. saddest moment =(
