I frankly enjoy playing midrange at my LGS, but I don't want to play the stereotypical Jund, or W/B so you are now looking at my build for Mardu (Dega for you stubborn folks) Midrange!

The key thing here is to play as many removal spells as possible like Hero's Downfall and Devouring Light, while waiting to drop our main win-con, Stormbreath Dragon! The fact that so many kill spells are relevant in standard I play one Elixir of Immortality to shuffle the main win-cons back in after a few rough kill spells. Throw Ajani Steadfast in there and we have a party!

Sideboard:

I play Circle of Flame in order to ward off the highly popular Rabble Red deck, as the 1 toughness creatures are very dangerous if left unchecked.

We follow it up with Revoke Existence as it hates Constellation and the new U/R artifact deck that's all the rage.

Take a look at this beauty, Bile Blight, yes Pack Rat and Master of Waves hate all in one, could I ask for a better removal spell that I'm not already playing?

Blood Baron of Vizkopa is great for me, it gives me another "big" creature and has protection from white and black. It's just a great card all around!

And finally we have Sin Collector my Esper/Azorius control hate.

FNM 9/5/14 — Sept. 7, 2014

Edit

Went 3-2 at FNM, didn't turn out to bad

First round: 0-2 Rabble red

She went off too quickly in the first game without giving me time to react, boarded in the Circle of Flame but never saw them.

Second round: 2-1 MGD

I got mana-screwed in the first game, with no red mana, but the second and third games, I continued to wipe his mana producers with Anger of the Gods and Drown in Sorrow, before stopping big threats with Hero's Downfall

Round three: 0-2 Mono-Blue devotion

Got mana screwed the first game with no black, second game used Bile Blight with stupendous results, but in the end, he pulled out the victory.

Round four: 2-1 Boros Heroic

Game 1 was relatively quick, curved out and got out a [stormbreath dragon]] turn 5-6, while she got mana-screwed. Game 2 went differently, as she finished me turn 4 with a very dangerous 10/10 double strike Favored Hoplite which she which she prevented from dying with Gods Willing. Game three was a great battle, but it ultimately ended in victory.

Final round: 2-1 R/G Monsters

Game one was brutal, he smashed me quickly, curving out in the best way possible. Games two-three, I had the upper hand with perfect top-decks, and pulled out ahead

Overall, I'm not disappointed with this deck, but as an aggro player, and with Khans being spoiled everyday, I built a more aggro-y Mardu deck: Glory for the Mardu. Check it out.
