On the Edge with Foundatons – Midweek Magic Event Guide

Hey everyone! Have you all been hitting the books hard to discover all the secrets hidden in Strixhaven? I’m here to help your study session run a bit smoother by revealing some of the juiciest info for the upcoming weekly event.

This week’s Midweek Magic event is On the Edge with Foundations. That means we can build decks using cards from only the last three standard sets (Secrets of Strixhaven, TMT, Lorwyn Eclipsed) 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 babbling and just post the 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!

Ninjas

This leans a bit more into being a theme deck than tying to spike this event. (It’s a free event with unlimited attempts so might as well do something different once in awhile). It’s still a good time that can definitely get the job done.

Stompy

Trying to change things up from the usual plans. You are missing almost all of the landfall cards that make this so lethal in Standard so this changes the plan and is a bit more of a midrange beats package.

Nice creatures, it would be a shame if someone killed them all. 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.
