Have they said how the Brawl precon cards are being implemented on Arena? Do you just have to craft them all, or is there some other way to get them?

If you buy the physical deck they're supposed to have codes to redeem in arena but that's probably it.

Edit: This is incorrect, disregard. Crafting is the only way unless they decide to give them out as event awards down the line.

Will the tabletop Brawl decks include codes for MTG Arena like the Planeswalker decks?
The tabletop Brawl decks will not include a code for MTG Arena.

How do I add the 20 unique Brawl cards to my collection?
You’ll be able to craft any of the unique Brawl cards using Wildcards – including the four that were swapped for this event. Please note that just like the Planeswalker decks, these unique cards will not appear in booster packs or as individual card rewards, but they are all Standard legal!

It's not any fun when people just time out and concede in the try decks event so you don't actually get to try things.

I haven't played with or against unicorn but it seems extremely mediocre. Bone whatever necromancer in core 20 was the same two bodies without vigilance but didn't make you pay for it twice, and it was not a big deal

I have played both with and against Unicorn and it’s phenomenal, both because creatures are a little smaller in this set than M20 (which had playable common 3/3s in several colors) and because you can cast the unicorn’s front half on turn 3 rather than having it sit in your hand until 5

Fun rate of having 2 extra power on my turn 4 Hydra is great actually.

In any case it's almost always a free land so it doesn't hurt to have 1-2 of each unless you're really hurting for WCs.

For someone who has a finite amount of WCs I would not recommend crafting even a single copy of a card that only goes in exactly one archetype (Gx midrange with creatures that cost 6+) unless they expect to actually play that deck.

You get 2 years with the cards gang go hog wild. You aren’t ever gonna min-max your value the same way a true streaming perfect draft king will no matter what you do, don’t let the games decisions stress u out.

But probably don’t craft and red cards or white cards besides RC Giant and Angry SMOL Giant

This limited format seems like the best for alternate wincons in a long while, it's only been a few days and I've already had a 6 - 3 sealed run on the back of Folio mill and am currently 2 - 0 in Trad Draft with half my wincon being Konrad + mill/self-mill + the card that puts whatever creatures you want from GY on the top of your deck (the other half is Lochmere Serpent which is indeed ludicrous but I've only drawn it and had it win me the game 1 of my 4 wins so far). And I've faced a couple mill decks too. Who needs to smash ceatures to the face?

I think it’s not going to be effective. I opened four and posted a deck upthread that I’ve since changed, but they just don’t generate enough value fast enough. If you get a couple of them out and match them with that fairy that gets counters when you draw a second card, you can start rolling, but most of the time I’m dying long before I can start the engine up.

I've been trying to make Feather work and idk how I feel:

Isencrag Pyromancer feels great once she's on the board with Defiant Strike and Feather/Arcanist.

Claim the Firstborn might have had a spot somewhere but the current henge meta makes it feel like a dead card.

Still haven't tried slotting in adventure cards, but Ardenvale Tactician's tap-down post declaring attackers with feather in the board seems good on paper. Maybe fairy guidemother for evasion and a decent buff on a Legionarie?

Biggest hit was losing Reckless Rage, especially when facing down turn 3 Questing Beasts every other game.

Feather's dead and I can't accept it (nor am I good enough to brew her back into relevancy)

this draft format is a bit slow, but not insanely so... except the GB food deck. Jesus Christ that deck is miserable. Putting sporecap spider in green was a mistake, since otherwise a tempo fliers type deck could punish GB’s molasses-paced development.

I just beat it with WB with triple Ardenvale Tactician and triple Smitten Swordmaster, and I still had to utilize the Swordmaster drain and repeatedly recur them with Forever Young and Barrow Witches to do it.
