I don't think the pool was particularly great, nor was the archetype one of the strongest (by some opinions) in the set, but perhaps the stars were aligned and I just kept winning (to my surprise). I had a blast. I'm a fairly new player, having just started about a year ago...

Anyways, it looks like removal is premium (as always?). I had 10 (!) pieces, if you count counterspells, tempo bouncers ([[Uneasy Partings]]), tap-downs ([[Enchanted River's Grasp]]), and [[Settle the Wreckage]]. For many matches it felt like I was playing more of them than creatures, and I probably was.

How have you guys been doing? Which archetype have you enjoyed the most? Recruit has to be my favorite, even though I've tried really hard (and failed) to make Elves work... Goblins, I'm not a fan of.

And here's my 17lands page (just started tracking) where you can see how I *normally* perform (ha!): https://www.17lands.com/user_history/14111f2328bc4cbf933c2c309c5b4f99

I'm more than happy to receive constructive criticism if anyone is kind enough to want to share some. Thanks for all the good posts; this is a great little community.

Hey guys, I wanted to share a 180-card "twobert" I've enjoyed creating and starting to play with willing players at my LGS.

It's called Miniature Foundations, it's 100% FDN, non-singleton, with pretty straightforward but (I think) decent cards meant to highlight the core mechanics of MTG. My goal with it is to offer a fun drafting and playing experience for all skill levels.

So far, I've had the pleasure of drafting this cube twice in person: once with just two people, and the second time with four. Both experiences were tons of fun, and have been a great way to improve my skills without breaking the bank too badly at all.

Overall, I spent ~$50 on this cube... probably about what you'd pay for a fully-spec'd pauper cube, maybe? Not bad at all.

Anyways, what do you think? Do you think you'd enjoy drafting this if someone showed up with it at your LGS? Which colors are overpowered? Underpowered? What do you think I could change? What do you like?

I'm also interested in expanding this cube to be a modular 360 or 540 card cube, so that I could still play with only 180 cards for 2-4 people but also support up to 8 players for a really big game. How should I think about that, assuming I still want to maintain the core theme of the cube (FDN, basically)?

My first ever 4-0 on any Arena Limited event (Pick Two Hobbit)
