What this deck is
Rocket Midrange is a midrange shell at 4.5 average elixir, winning through accumulated defensive value rather than a single dedicated win condition.
How it wins

- Spell bait — layered cheap threats that punish a spent small spell.
Where it breaks
Structural weak points read off the deck's own shell, not off a single matchup.
- No dominant structural weakness — this shell covers its own gaps, so its losses come from matchups and piloting rather than a missing answer.
