Plus they could then keep going and once they're done finally shut down MTGO. Shutting down MTGO doesn't even have to be that bad or painful if they just say "your collection will port to Arena"

lol that is an extremely optimistic take. You can cash out of mtgo but not out of arena. It would be an absolute shitstorm

The idea that Casual Queue is only for bad decks with no rares is a fallacy.

One of the brawl decks has a new 2CMC mana rock that goes in every EDH deck ever conceived, I imagine that’s pushing demand up a bit

But it’s so loving stupid because we have Mind Stone, all 10 signets and 10 talismans. Like it’s a solid include in 4-5 color decks but it really isn’t that amazing in anything else and it’s definitely not worth $30.

Seriously the Brawl decks are just gross I’m so very disappointed in WoTC

It’s better than any of those in a 3 colour deck and even in two colour it’s better than the talismans because you don’t take damage. Not that it matters because you want all the 2 CMC rocks you can get anyway and this is one of the best. You run it alongside your Fellwar Stone and appropriate signets/talismans. It’s an auto-include in any deck that wants any artifact-based ramp at all which is at least like 95% of EDH decks

I’m not spending 30 bucks on it either but this is what happens when you print one of the best rocks in the format with limited availability

My rares from my one Sealed run:

Gilded Goose
Wishclaw Talisman
Danse of the Manse
Castle Garenbrig
Hushbringer
Fabled Passage

Not sure if it can get much worse than that. I ended up making RWB knights and going 1-3 because I had no bombs and poo poo payoffs (and I'm bad)

To help with the last part, can anyone tell me where I went wrong and how I could have made this better:

Actual deck:

1 Archon of Absolution (ELD) 3
1 Hushbringer (ELD) 18
1 Lonesome Unicorn (ELD) 21
1 Rally for the Throne (ELD) 25
1 Shepherd of the Flock (ELD) 28

1 Scalding Cauldron (ELD) 229
1 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244
6 Plains (ELD) 253
5 Swamp (ELD) 261
5 Mountain (ELD) 265

Not used:

2 Bartered Cow (ELD) 6
2 Flutterfox (ELD) 12

1 Giant's Skewer (ELD) 91
1 Reaper of Night (ELD) 102

1 Loch Dragon (ELD) 211
1 Enchanted Carriage (ELD) 218
2 Gingerbrute (ELD) 219
1 Inquisitive Puppet (ELD) 223
1 Prophet of the Peak (ELD) 227
1 Roving Keep (ELD) 228
1 Signpost Scarecrow (ELD) 231
1 Castle Garenbrig (ELD) 240
2 Mystic Sanctuary (ELD) 247
2 Witch's Cottage (ELD) 249

I felt like knights was my best bet but maybe I should have stuck to two colours or done something completely different. I didn't feel like I had any better support for any other archetype though

Yeah vraska having exile was far more annoying than murderboy. He’s more like a more expensive but also faster at the same time chupacabra.

I don’t get the reason for the put into your own deck effect. Is it just so black doesn’t get to pull an instant from the gy?

Yeah I forgot vraska’s was exile and this is destroy. And yeah I’m pretty sure the library thing is so GY decks can’t keep recurring creature/PW destruction

How are people liking Robber of the Rich? I've seen it once. It exiled an egg from the top of my library while playing dancer. Opponent did not win that game.

I swear to god I hit land >50% of the time. Confirmation bias/bad luck aside, it seems okay but not amazing, and I think it's a big part of my play/draw winrate disparity. On the draw it's a lot harder to get it to fire. Probably better in BO3 where you can board it out on the draw. It makes for a great removal magnet before Rotting Reggie comes down though

Well, almost! I went 1-2 with rakdos aggro after being on the draw every single game. Also didn't help getting one game against cats which either I'm playing badly wrong or is a really one-sided matchup. They always seem to have 1+ each of the cat and the oven in play by turn 2 and I have no idea how to beat that
