I hope everyone had a good memorial week! Today is best of three day and my friend Asa won his qualifier with a different take on Simic Midrange. It's not Mass Manipulation or Frilled Mystic, just good old fashioned Simic Midrange good stuff. Before we get started I do want to say that I did play Rainbow Lich this past Wednesday so if you are interested in an update to Rainbow Lich or if you've never seen a Chance for Glory / Lich's Mastery deck in action, I highly recommend that video.

Let's have look at Simic Midrange!

Asa won his MCQ with this list and it looks good. No messing around with blowing up lands with Field of Ruin and Karn, the Great Creator. Just good ole fashioned Nissa, Tamiyo, and Ugin. River's Rebuke was surprisingly great, especially since midrange decks seem to be on the rise. It's especially good against the Dreadhorde decks where you're usually stuck dealing with their walkers or their creatures. Thankfully River's Rebuke deals with both!

If you enjoy Simic decks or just value midrange decks, I would recommend you give this list a whirl!

As always, thanks for reading,
