'Mid Range' - more of a control deck imo

I can see what you mean, but I didn't feel it was really a control deck due to the lack of big cost minions and a reliable late-game. In my opinon, this deck doesn't need a late-game powerhouse to win the game for it. You could easily build a reliable midgame board with what I've provided. Cards like Archbishop Benedictus are more of a last-ditch effort to win the game. Lich is more of a turn 8 tempo card, and Lyra could easily be played on turn 5 or 6, ideally. You're really hoping to have board control by turn 3 and closing out by turn 8 at the latest. In this deck, I use Lich, Lyra, and Benedictus as tempo swings/cards. They're only really there just to make sure you keep the board in your favor. I hope that explains my thought process on this deck. It is quite old, mind you, and I haven't updated it since the Spiteful Summoner nerf.

This deck is fun.  I kind of just sit back with it and let the opponent burn out then win late.  It is fun for me to play it in wild format bc I use Benedictus and get to play a lot of cards I will likely never own and are really good.  I really appreciate you posting.

I've been looking for a deck like this for a long time! I'm going to try it out and see how well it does.

I think shadow ward pain can be cut because you already run two dusk breakers. 

Yeah, I'm currently play-testing a deck with Archbishop Benedictus instead of Shadow Word: Pain; it seems to be a decent change so far.

why spellstone?

I use it as a mid-late game tempo swing.

I agree. Spellstone is so good in this deck.
