well if you don't have a format preference, then you know what kicks ass in this kind of deck? Stonehorn Dignitary stops agro in it's place. I actually have a deck that is similar to this, though it's only two colors (green/white) and it uses Conjurer's Closet , Restoration Angel , Glimmerpoint Stag , and Cloudshift as its flicker..ers.

what would you recommend I take out for Stonehorn Dignitary ? I was thinking about dropping Roaring Primadox for Restoration Angel do to a suggestion I got from the forum I posted, and if I drop Primadox I mite drop Bond Beetle as well. thoughts?

MidRange, in the simplest terms, is a deck that is too slow to be aggro, and too fast to be control. It's the middle ground between the two archetypes, with the win con being, beat them into the ground and keep the path to there face as clear as possible.

OOH! alright so my earlier decks were MidRange, i thought midrange was where you attack and kill from longer range, i.e Burning or milling lol! well thanks for cleaning that up.

Np, also any deck that kills from long range, mill or burn for example, are control decks. They can be fun but need to built in a way that allows you to stall the game for as long as possible.

about $50~$60, the only cards I need are Thrun, the Last Troll , Loxodon Smiter , Remand (probably run 2 Mana Leak and the one remand I own for budget) and Path to Exile .

Explain how "tempo" and "midrange" can go tegether in a deck.

Is tempo not about being faster than you opponent, while midrange is about controlling the early game and coming around late game with fatties? They don't seem compatible.

long story short, I haven't decided if I want it to be tempo or midrange. the name is misleading, ill change it. :p

This is definitely not one bit considered Tempo. It is completely midrange. I would probably remove AEtherling (it's way too slow in this format, especially without dedication to ramp). Sphinx's Revelation also seems out of place in this "aggro-control midrange".

I'm honestly not sure what to suggest since I'm not sure what you are trying to do (you're torn between playing completely control, versus, slow midrange). I would probably remove all your Farseek as well as a number of Detention Sphere and Azorius Charm in favor of 4x Mana Leak , 2x Spell Pierce and 2x Bant Charm . 1-2 Vapor Snag s wouldn't hurt either; they'll help provide you tempo, as well as saving your Thragtusk from a Path to Exile .
