What's up with Reid Duke's Miracles deck?

I spent a few years trying to do an original UWr build in legacy. I'd do well locally, but every open I'd get crushed. I finally decided to net deck a deck, and I chose Reid's list. I've attempted to watch all the coverage of the man piloting his version just to gleam more insight. I made a few changes and went to the last open in Indy. I got rekt there, plain and simple, with a record of 2-5-2. I learned some things there though.

Before I start, you can chalk my record up to me sucking at legacy, as no one here know's me. I always take internet advice with a grain of salt. Looking back I felt I only made 2 misplays, and needed to tighten up my list.

For example; Not playing DTT.... Yeah that in of itself was stupid of me. That card is AMAZING. I can be slow to change my deck at times.

After Indy I took my deck home and kept on practicing and thinking over the list. I definitely wanted DTT. So I threw it in as a two of and tried it out. Loved it so much I went to three. I felt as my draws were more sculpted I needed another entreat. My current rendition is pretty aggressive.

My brother placed top16 at Indy, and he's my main practice partner, though we do participate in local events, and with our team, we mostly just practice against each other on weekends with a couple boxes of proxied decks. I think Reid has found the deck that is sculpted to him and his style, and miracles is a deck that in it's constraint's is pretty flexible. There's also BBD's version that doesn't even entreat. It's an amazing shell that can be formed into what you wanna do.

This is my current and favorite list,

I think you should net deck them all, figure out what you like,then compete, evaluate, and update.
