They may also contain information that changes at such a rapid pace that maintaining them is no longer practical.
Midrange Hunter is a Hunter deck type that looks to take early control of the board and snowball its lead in the later turns.
Past the early game, the deck tries to solidify its board with removal cards such as 
Kill Command, Eaglehorn Bow, and sometimes Deadly Shot. The deck has various ways to trade up low-value minions, such as with Houndmaster and 
Dire Frenzy, allowing it to continue building its board while efficiently dealing with threats and maintaining control. In Rastakhan's Rumble, 
Master's Call was added, allowing for an all-beast Midrange Hunter to be viable and powerful. Zul'jin gives the deck a major value play alongside 
Unleash the Beast and other spells.
This deck gains a lot of power in Wild, with 
Lesser Emerald Spellstone creating a significant power play, Flanking Strike and Wandering Monster being highly efficient cards, 
Alleycat and Dire Mole being strong 1 mana minions that combine with 
Crackling Razormaw, and 
Deathstalker Rexxar providing late game sustain through Build-a-Beast,.
