The midrange deck plays like a tempo deck, while the control deck plays like... A control deck.
The key trait of the midrange deck is Geist of Saint Traft. It also runs around 10 or so creatures. They key trait of the control deck is a noticeable lack of creatures, generally running snapcaster mages and a couple of cliques. It also commonly plays 4 cryptic command, and most lists run Sphinx's Revelation.
The decks look reeaallly similar, but if you pick them up and give them a whirl, you'll realise how differently they actually play out?
I play midrange BGx in legacy and all i can say is, midrange decks tend to finish the games earlier.
Control decks tend to have Long and winding games.

So, what's the reason of having both threads in the "Proven" sections? What's the difference between them?
