Overview

"Darigaaz Midrange is a black-red-green (Jund) disruptive midrange deck that pairs hand attack and removal with resilient, value-driven threats. Duress and Cabal Therapy strip key cards, Terminate, Lightning Bolt, and Smother clear creatures, and Sylvan Library fuels card advantage. Call of the Herd, Ravenous Baloth, and Tempting Wurm provide a sticky, hard-hitting clock backed by Grim Lavamancer and Cursed Scroll reach."

Game Plan

Disrupt with discard and removal while deploying resilient threats like Call of the Herd and Ravenous Baloth, then grind the opponent out with Sylvan Library card advantage.

Deck Weaknesses

Duress, Cabal Therapy, and Ravenous Rats are sorcery — speed, so an opponent who curves out early turns the discard into dead draws.
Tempting Wurm hands the opponent free permanents from hand and can backfire against a full grip.
Sylvan Library is the only draw engine, so removing it leaves the deck winning on one — for-one trades and folding to attrition.
Its interaction is reactive and creature — only, so resolved enchantments and artifacts slip past untouched.

How to win with it

Mulligan guidance: Keep any seven that pairs at least one discard spell (Duress or Cabal Therapy) with a threat (Call of the Herd, Ravenous Baloth, or Ravenous Rats) and two or three lands in the right colors. The deck cannot function without early disruption, so hands with threats but no turn-one interaction go back unless the draw is exceptionally explosive, and six-card hands must still show that same discard-plus-threat skeleton; pure lands-and-removal hands without a discard spell are too slow.
Turn-one sequencing: Lead Duress over Cabal Therapy when going in blind, because Duress reveals the hand and lets you surgically strip the answer to your follow-up threat, whereas Cabal Therapy is best once you already know the target. Cast Cabal Therapy blind only when the opponent's archetype makes the target obvious, and remember you can flashback it later by sacrificing a Call of the Herd Elephant token or a spent Ravenous Rats once Duress has shown you exactly what to name.
The dream draw: Turn-one Duress stripping a key answer, turn-two Call of the Herd for a 3/3 Elephant, then turn-three flash the second Call of the Herd for a second Elephant alongside Sylvan Library. This builds a threat-every-turn clock backed by card advantage before the opponent stabilizes, and Sylvan Library seals it because you draw three cards per turn while paying life your aggressive board makes affordable.
Sylvan Library timing: Resolve Sylvan Library as early as the game allows but not ahead of the discard protection that keeps it alive, since casting it into an un-Duressed hand risks losing it for free. Once it is protected, pay the eight life freely across turns rather than shuffling back, leaning on Ravenous Baloth (sacrifice a Beast, including a Call of the Herd Elephant token, to gain four life) to refill your life-paying window while Grim Lavamancer and Lightning Bolt close games that run long.
Hold versus jam with Cabal Therapy: With a Ravenous Rats or a Call of the Herd Elephant token already on board, do not jam Cabal Therapy immediately. Wait until a Duress (or a prior naked Cabal Therapy) has shown you the opponent's hand so you can name exactly the right card, then sacrifice the token or the Ravenous Rats to flashback and strip two cards for one card of investment; this two-for-one is the engine that grinds through incremental card disadvantage.
The long-game plan: When the fast clock is gone, pivot to Sylvan Library plus Cursed Scroll, using the library to hit land drops and threats while Cursed Scroll turns the near-empty hand your discard-heavy plan naturally produces into repeatable direct damage. Grim Lavamancer converts the graveyard that Cabal Therapy, Ravenous Rats, and Terminate keep stocking into a recurring two-damage ping, and Ravenous Baloth buys the life you need to keep paying the Sylvan Library tax while both damage sources accumulate to lethal.

How to beat it

Deploy your threats before the deck can strip them, since its disruption only hits cards still in hand.
Hold permanent-based threats until after Tempting Wurm resolves so you don't gift it a development leap.
Go wide with several cheap threats so Terminate and Lightning Bolt trade down on cards.
Remove Sylvan Library the moment it lands to cut off the deck's only sustained card engine.
Use edict effects on Ravenous Baloth before it cashes in life, and race its one-shot lifegain with a wide clock.
