ControlĬontrol decks are basically the opposite of aggro decks. You’ll see midrange decks play a balanced mix of strong creatures and efficient removal spells. This allows them to play more powerful cards as well as removal and discard spells to answer their opponent’s cards. While aggro decks try to win the game as quickly as possible, midrange decks take a slower approach, choosing to apply steady pressure throughout the game instead. However, since all of their cards are cheap, aggro decks can hit the ground running and win the game before their opponent can even get started. In an aggro deck, you won’t find many cards with a high mana cost, and as a result, most cards won’t be super powerful or game-changing on their own. Its plan is simple: win the game as quickly as possible by reducing the opponent’s life total to 0. Aggro decks are what most new MTG players might be familiar with.
