Information

I've been trying to play Feln Midrange for a few weeks, and this version was created right after the balance patch in April 2024. It's designed to win the midrange mirror that's been occurring most games as Fire-based aggro decks became weaker with the nerfs to Calm Instructor and Grove Supplier.

This deck usually wins by beating down with one or two resilient units while keeping the enemy side clear.

Matchups:
Against aggro, kill their units ASAP and don't worry about getting full value from your cards. However, this matchup is tough because you take a lot of damage removing enemy units with relic weapons and Dangerous Gambit.
Against decks that aren't putting much pressure on you (the mirror, Praxis-based midrange, The Great Rift decks, etc.), do your best to keep an answer for any threat. So, for example, you usually should avoid playing Centipede Keeper without activating its spellcraft.
Against opponents that play few to no units, this deck struggles because then removal spells are dead draws.
Another weakness is relic-based decks, since Formbend is the only real answer in this deck to Star-Reader's Tools or Veena's Masterpiece.

Deck-building considerations:
Feed the Hecaton is a 2-of because of Tight-Lipped's popularity. Reusable Femur and Kelmak's Spear are 3-ofs because they're not great when you draw multiples, and aren't ideal against aggro.

The Market is pretty self-explanatory, although maybe Beastly Disruption or Heavy Hail should be maindecked. I tried including Mirror Image and Crackling Bauble in the market, but neither worked well.

I included Morbid Deal in an older version of Feln Midrange, and it was very good at times, so it might be worth experimenting with, but I cut it for influence reasons. I also cut Murgo the Bone Guy for influence reasons, and because it doesn't quite match the main gameplan. Lipa, Witch of the Woods is another strong unit that I don't think matches the gameplan, but it might be good. Also, Enormous Anura might be worth including if aggro becomes more popular.

Edit: Right after posting this version, I won 5 in a row and reached Masters for the first time!

Either run 4 Champions or 0, doesn't make sense to have a card that puts such insane pressure on your influence if you aren't either going all in on it or skipping it.

My reasoning was that with 4 copies of Riftborn, Heron, Champion, and Winter, I would have had too much top end, and I preferred cutting Champion over cutting the other three. That said, I think you're right and I'll try including the full playset. Thanks for your feedback!
