Hey dude, I really appreciate the cause. I live in Cali and our family suffered some tremendous losses. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving a damn, and thank you for the awesome edison format content.
I have to disagree on your take regarding Midrange not existing in Yu-Gi-Oh. If you disregard the mana systems and just focus on a midrange deck's shape and play pattern, you can find some common ground. Midrange decks are typically board-based with efficient bodies that can play a consistent tempo game, while having the flexibility to outvalue aggro or play under control. The trade off being you aren't strictly favored over either. In Edison specifically, I think Machina Control plays more like a Midrange deck. I feel like most of the historic "goodstuff.dek" lists are Yu-Gi-Oh's Midrange. Could just be semantic yapping though, idk. Just a topic I've put some thought into over the years.
Due to the way normal summon affects normal summons you can't have both efficiency and flexibility at the same time. If you build the deck to muscle through the opponent with cards that replace themselves you usually become an arcytpecial beatdown, tempo decks with cheeky timing often become arcytpecial otk decks as they balance stingy non-comital cards and explosive finishing turns. I would say midrange exist in yugioh to the same extent beratdown and otk decks exist in mtg, not at all.

You called it machina control, then said it was a midrange deck and it's neither of these things lol
I’d say Amaryllis and any other gear-shift deck could be classified as Midrange since winning on turn 2or40 is normal
