So now after much deliberation, and taking some inspiration from Brad Nelson's performances, I've decided to run with Mardu Midrange. This is it. This shall be the last deck, barring the release of Fate Reforged.

Right now I'm in the midst of heavy deck testing. I'm still trying to figure out how to properly sideboard against certain decks. One of the tricky things about Mardu Midrange is that depending on the match-up you can end up swapping in the majority of your sideboard.

Explanation

Blow for blow you won't beat Abzan Midrange. Burn in inefficient, and your main board presence (Seeker and Rabblemaster) have no staying power when your opponent lands a T3 Siege Rhino. So, you have to opt for greater elements of control. More removal, sweepers and card draw.
