If it's anything like on Hearthstone it will just be full of degenerate decks with the most insufferable cards you were ready to never see again.

But if it's anything like Modern then it'll be full of hilariously strong decks that change based on bans and unbans

Ugh not a fan of Brawl so far, seems to be like limited but all the cards are nonsense. Doesn't feel like a very satisfying game experience so far.

Also is the pro play in Brawl/Commander to nuke your opponents commanders ASAP or their other creatures? Obviously dealing with the synergy of their commander seems good but ultimately they can replay it, so i'm not sure if there's ever much point?

you will be able to build your own brawl decks, dude, this is just promotional with the preconstructed decks

also if you kill their commander they have to pay increasingly more to replay it and this can really choke people out of the game early if you can clear it right away

Event owns brawl went from nothing to something I see myself drowning in. Eldrane preview is dope, adventures are a bad and poorly conveyed archetype. I’m very tempted to buy the dumb gingerbread man but Garruk seems trashy.

This update was neat. Also game runs better.

Brawl is not a great idea in real life and may flop again, but it's so perfect for arena.

Kinda blows that there aren't any free rewards past 75, or whatever level it is. Like, I get it, that's F2P games, but still - sucks that my EXP isn't getting me anything (I'm not gonna buy the mastery pass with real money).

Well sure, if I didn't use them to draft.

E: V I'll see if I can try and save them up. I have 900 right now, so getting the other 2500 shouldn't be toooo terrible.

If you’ve reached the point where you aren’t getting more rewards for XP the mastery pass is a really good deal imho.

That event starts Sep 9 and is called Standard 2020 which features post rotation cards + the cards you can unlock right now from Brawl. It is a smart way of incentivizing people to play the game during the most dead period (right before rotation).

Couldn't be further from the truth. Whoever consistently gets removal wins, not whoever gets their removals off on the trash early game these decks have.

Just ground out a crazy swingy Brawl game with the Jund sacrifice deck vs the Esper Artifact pile. Opp had an exalted lifelink faerie swinging at me as a 21/21 at one point. Rhythm of the Wild and enough sacrifice effects to gain card advantage on every sac eventually allowed me to grind it out with 3 cards left in the deck.

Yeah I'm 1-6. This event is tilting me super hard. I am losing some incredibly close games to insane top decks, or when the Esper deck draws it's 6th removal spell in a row. I am also losing games on turn 4 when I miss the 3rd color I need, or when I tried to play the Jund deck and inexplicably only drew eggs and pies and poo poo that did not effect the board in anyway.

Breathe.

You get a free mulligan in Brawl so be aggressive with it.

I had the most luck with Faeries, then Knights, getting most of my six wins with those and mostly getting losses with the other two decks.

The not-simic one is sick if it goes off though
