Once I have the time, I will make a detailed deck tech video covering this deck.
In the meantime, please have fun with this list. I believe this is the final and most optimized version of RUB Midrange.

Keep up the good work. Both here and on YouTube. Great content. The community needs more active content creators like you

Hello Promised,

I saw you had changed the deck by adding some Melnias and Wind Axe and now back to the more "traditional" type. Could you explain your thought process behind that and now on the newly added Pyrofighter and Ice Vapor?
I guess Magnus is for the mini Meltdown-Combo but isn't it too hard to get to 9 mana in time vs an aggressive deck and in my opinion the combo doesn't come up in the rest of the match-ups very often?

In addition to the meltdown combo, Pyro can be used to pressure your opponent into discarding your arque when you aggro with it. It is also better than pdf at removal since it goes back to your hand. Volcano helps you reach the 9mana for the combo. Ice vapor and the phasing out of bolmeteus is meant to gear the deck towards the midrange archetype.

Hi. A few questions regarding this version.

What is Ice Vapor for?

Why only 3 Pit?

Why no Bolmeteus?
