Midrange

Midrange lives in the space between aggro and control, and its greatest strength is adaptability. These decks run individually powerful cards that generate value on their own — think efficient creatures that also draw cards or remove threats. Against aggro, a midrange deck can play defensively and stabilize with superior card quality. Against control, it can apply enough pressure to close the game before the control deck takes over. This flexibility makes midrange a popular and forgiving archetype, though piloting it well means knowing when to shift gears and which role to play in any given matchup.
