On the Edge with Foundatons – Midweek Magic Event Guide

This guide will contain everything you need to know about the Midweek Magic: On the Edge with Foundations event, including rewards.

Hey everyone! I’m sure you have all spent the last week going crazy playing Lorwyn Eclipsed in your format of choice. I know I have been jamming an absurd number of drafts (I gotta stack those gems to feed my cosmetics habit), but I have to take a break because it is that time of the week again. That’s right, it is once again time for another Midweek Magic.

This week’s event is On the Edge with Foundations. That means we can build decks from only the last three standard sets and Foundations. It gives us an opportunity to play some standard without a lot of the normal archetypes since they are all missing key cards.

 Yeah, yeah…I’ll stop speculating and just post the freaking deck lists for you.


Event Details

Bring a 60-card deck using only cards from the last three standard sets and Foundations. With less sets to work with, you’ll need cutting-edge strategies to find victory!

Deck Lists

Mono Red

Old reliable makes its usual appearance to provide a quick way through the event. Burn baby burn. This will quickly take advantage if your opponent stumbles or isn’t playing a focused deck.

Merfolk

Ariel is ready to get rowdy with a horde of her merfolkian cohorts. They can be a bit tricky, but can also just beat your opponent down.

Azorius Control

Nice creatures, it would be a shame if someone killed them. Most people play quick creature decks in MWM, this is for those of you that prefer to make their lives miserable.

BUDGET Hare Apparent

Apparently a lot of people prefer not to waste wild cards on Midweek Magic. The solution is to play a pile of Hare Apparent with a way to pump them. They may not get a discount for being cats, but the bunnies can still get their claws out to wreck your opponent.
