Seems to be ongoing until set release.Hopefully Brawl isn't limited to events like this one, like Singleton and Pauper are. Do we know when this event ends?

Yeah I agree. It would be so cool if Brawl was something we could always play. Really enjoying this event.
The sacrifice deck can pretty easily counter it. They seem fairly balanced.
I've had more luck against the Jund sacrifice than the Bant ramp personally, the latter has way too much mana for Smothering Tithe to do anything at all and Chulane gives crazy card advantage.
Oh new update isnlive? Hmm will see if i am in mood to play thru with a knight deck.
I cant get enough brawl. This is the first of the free events where I just keep playing and playing. Havent touched standard since this event came out.
30 turn game thing might have some truth to it because the games are longer. But the silly shit part is the opposite I think. Even with singleton there was just a greater emphasis on each card. You didnt just spam 4 of the same type of burn spells over and over. Its just a different way to deckbuild. I like the fact you have to carefully weigh each card to determine the theme of the deck. You can get up to way more silly shit with multiple copies of a card.Brawl seems to be for people who get annoyed they can't play a 30 turn game and do a bunch of silly shit.
Yeah the split of player base is going to people who like EDH and those who don't. I'm not a fan.Boy, I'm having the complete opposite reaction to Brawl than you guys are. I played 1 game each with the Bant and Jund ones, and I just found playing the game painful
Granted, I HATE EDH, so this shouldn't surprise me, but man I just didn't find this very fun
If it takes you 30 turns the deck you built isn't doing silly enough shit.Brawl seems to be for people who get annoyed they can't play a 30 turn game and do a bunch of silly shit.
I mean a 30 turn game with a load of silly shit sounds like a lot of fun to me. Does EDH/Brawl tend to have more variation in the decks you face than any given standard? Because at this point I'm just glad for a change of pace from the usual half a dozen decks I face off against in standard constructed. That's why I like the first few weeks after a new set/rotation: standard's up in the air and everyone's experimenting to figure out the next big thing before anyone else.
1-for-1 removal is typically a lot worse in multiplayer, which is what the decks are designed for.
I think all of the brawl decks rely too much on the commander. It's a build-around of course, but the cards should do something even without them.
Sure. But you'd also not want to associate them with clunky terrible decks. But I get it.Well if I were Wizards, I'd want the most important cards in a promotional event to be mythic rares from the upcoming set.
If you think Brawl and by extension commander shouldn't rely on the commanders, you probably shouldn't play the format.Sure. But you'd also not want to associate them with clunky terrible decks. But I get it.
I didn't say they shouldn't be good with the commander. I said they shouldn't be garbage without them.If you think Brawl and by extension commander shouldn't rely on the commanders, you probably shouldn't play the format.
The commander is integral, we're talking about a singleton format, the cards ALL should have synergy with the one other card you can guarantee you're going to cast.
Just jumped back in after taking a break starting one week after the WAR release. Really enjoying the Brawl event. Also, the mastery pass thing really has its hooks in me, I'm trying to justify purchasing it despite only being level 8 because the extra rewards every level seem super fun... good job monetization designers...
If you want to buy thhe master pass, check how long it is still going, ithink it will run out at the end of september, but i am not sure.
No, only Teferi, Hero of Dominaria is rotating, not Teferi, Time Reveler. Sets Ixalan, Rivals of Ixalan, Dominaria, and Core 2019 are leaving in a few weeks. Details at https://whatsinstandard.com/.Wait a minute, if the older sets rotate out does that mean no more Teferi bullshit?

Well apparently Core 21 will be Teferi-centric, so enjoy your reprieve while you can.
I'm level 79 today with all quests cleared. By my math I'll just miss 100 if we don't get a good event. Kinda disappointed. I played a ton.
Well in that case, you'll be happy to hear Nexus of Fate is rotating as well.As long as a player can't endlessly repeat his turn without the opponent ever getting a chance to react I will be satisfied.
The new standard event will be starting up later today. You can only use cards from Guilds of Ravnica onwards (including cards won in the Eldraine Brawl event) and you need 2 consecutive wins to get 200 XP (there are no rewards for 0 or 1 win). No entry cost, as far as I can tell, and it can be repeated. Weirdly enough there's a ranked and unranked version of the event.
Remember to pack your instant speed removal, I'm expecting a lot of Simic flash.
