When things start to gas out, you're able to jam a huge Pull from Tomorrow to refill and reload. Everyone has exhausted their resources and you're over here with a full grip. You're also into having only a few, extremely powerful win conditions.
Old Azorius Control used to play two copies of Aetherling to close out games, and that was it. The rest was Sphinx's Revelation , Supreme Verdict , removal and counters with a high land count.
In Commander this holds the same merit because it allows you to load your deck up with an answer for every situation until you're in a position where you can't really lose anymore, so you might as well end the game with a huge creature or big spell like Approach of the Second Sun. At that point it doesn't matter how you win, because everyone else is on empty while you have a never-ending supply of torturous spells.
Midrange is my favorite archetype to play. You get the best of both worlds, and you can win in short games or drag it out and deplete everyone's resources while you push on. It's a strong balance. Jund is the best example of this kind of deck philosophy. When you play midrange, you want to be strong in all three phases of the game: start, middle and finish. Traditional midrange decks will play some combination of big spells that have a huge impact on an opponent like Torment of Hailfire or Rakdos's Return.
They'll play creatures that offer value and are usually good against control and aggressive decks. You'll pack a Thragtusk or Huntmaster of the Fells. These cards give you bodies and life gain against quick decks and walls to block smaller creatures. Against control, they're sticky bodies that come in pairs, so spot removal spells aren't particularly good against them.
Usually as a midrange player you're going to want to tempo the game in whatever area your hand is. If you have an aggressive start, you'll push that advantage as far as you can before transitioning into your bigger spells.
If you have a hand with several removal spells and ramp, you want to get to the bigger spells in your deck as soon as possible. Midrange decks are powerful choices because they're also extremely customizable.
Reanimator decks are great examples of midrange because they set up over the first few turns before dropping haymaker after haymaker into play. They aren't fast, but they aren't necessarily slow either. When you see someone playing The Mimeoplasm or Ghave, Guru of Spores , they've likely built their deck to be good against the field. The flaw is that you may draw the wrong half of your deck.
Aggressive decks might go way under you and kill you before you set up with your late game. If you draw too many aggressive threats, control decks might sweep and counter you out of the game.
You get the best of both worlds, but you also get the worst of both. When you're a combo player you love complex lines that work within an entirely synergistic and symbiotic deck. Edit this Page.

The Commander variant uses all the normal rules for a Magic game, with the following additions. Each deck has a legendary creature card designated as its commander. This designation is not a characteristic of the object represented by the card; rather, it is an attribute of the card itself. The card retains this designation even when it changes zones. This ability modifies the rules for deck construction, and it functions before the game begins.
