I've grown sick of seeing so many claim that midrange build is MBC, so let me school you kids on how it's done...

1. Use Duress, Lay Bare the Heart, and Doomfall to remove annoyances.
2. Use Reckoning and Phyrexian Scriptures to spank those who over-commit to the board.
3. Use Essence Extraction, Vraska's Contempt. and Battle at the Bridge to remove threats and gain life.
4. Cast a giant Torment of Hailfire off the back of Cabal Strongholds to end your opponent's life.
5. Use Karn, Scion of Urza to draw cards. Nothing else, just draw an additional card every turn and create a secondary pseudo-hand of threats. His -2 doesn't exist to you.
