What this deck is
Miner Control is a control shell built around Miner. It sits at 4.0 elixir, which sets how often you can repeat its pressure and how much you can afford to defend before answering back.
How it wins

- Bridge spam — fast units that punish an opponent mid-placement.
Where it breaks
Structural weak points read off the deck's own shell, not off a single matchup.
- One-dimensional: answer the single win condition and the deck runs out of plans.
