I guess in commander the fun part is the politics and the crazy turns even if they gently caress you over, and that doesnt really translate so well to online brawl

and if you care too much about winning I can see how brawl might not be fun for some people

I have been trying to make a Wolf tribal deck work for the last two expansions and am really hoping someone smarter than me can crack it with the new ToE stuff. It should work!

Tolsimir to throw wolves at creatures
Nightpack Ambusher and Arlinn to generate wolves
Vivien's Arkbow to put wolves on the board without casting them (to help ambusher make his wolves)
One drops and two drops should be ramp to be able to get there
Fill the rest of the deck with other wolves
Maybe icon of ancestry to pump and/or find wolves

That's basically my wolf deck and it's super fun, havent yet managed to make it very consistent though

I made it to platinum with this deck, hadnt made it to platinum in a long time. It's very fun and versatile but yeah it folds super hard to Oko if you can't get rid of him quickly. Questing Beast is a great card, I hadn't used it before.

I was just thoroughly hosed up by a mono white deck with sephara as comander and every other card being a white flyer, this is what brawl is all about.

It's also about having the mono green questing beast deck guy instantly concede when I play the blightbeetle I drew from my free mulligan

If they make Brawl permanent this is all I'm gonna play for a while

Ironically, Protection from Green will not work completely when Questing Beast is out there as protection effects specifically prevent damage, and the QB says that combat damage may not be prevented. Just something to keep in mind so you don't get got!

I quickly and easily went 5-2 on the historic event with this bad and janky pile of wolves. Folds hard to red aggro if you don't get tolsimir out but otherwise I was surprised about how not totally crappy this was. With some tweaks it might even be good.
