Notes
 
There are a few decks here in this midrange pile. II'm coming to see that I can have operationally different versions of decks to give me some customization in a metagame. Like the gauntlet of Siagarda's Aid decks, My turbo switch version and dedicated control version of approach, and a this spectrum of attrition based midrange decks. This feels like the home for my thoughtseizes. I can then have some pet project decks if I want but these will be the core competition decks I'll keep updated, and goldfishing through them should give me some easy access to reps before a tournament.

A lot of these cards have the common theme of sticky versatility and persistent damage. All are more atrrition based. A lot of them largely utilize the graveyard, and I have to balance at least one build (probably the BR one) to be the most graveyard hate resilient. I see a BR aggro version that functions similar to the rack and is very attrition based. I see a Temur version focusing on the fercious mechanic and taking advantage of both mana accelerants and big blowouts of damage, probably an excellent racing tool. I see a grixis deck that is just super fun and offers a more controlling role while also have the Lazav/titan combo. All the decks function off a somewhat surveil or mill enabler style of cards, develop a field over time, and maximize liliana's.

Kroxa synergizes well with Lazav and Liliana Heretical, last hope, and death's magesty. This also means that Liliana's triumph is well utilized here.

Mox amber seems live, which offers another explosive option for the deck. There is an artifact shell that highlights Emry, Herald of Anguish, and Vantress Gargoyle.

With such a spread of card types, particularly the gods, delerium is a little easier than usual, which make gnarlwood dryad and whispers of emrakul interesting.

This card pool is very exciting for me and many other people. All the best removal, midrange threats, over the top end game. But these decks are clunky and exploitable. Look at WR aid, how it laughs off fatal push, thoughtseize, and big dumb creatures. This deck is going to get handled like chonky red does most of the time, how Niv does most of the time. In this meta, sultai delrium is doing all of these things very well and has a current combo finish (and if that gets sniped will still have emrakul). I like that deck, am appealed to it, but am staying away because I think it's a replica cannon: It looks really good but is mostly harmless and safe. As long as I can find a nieche around these decks (I have at least two) then I'll be off it, but would love my own list as a tool for testing, lending, and playing if the occasion should arise. I think the dedicated Black version and Jund version would be best suited for being on a different ablge than the others, even though Lazav titan is so good.
