If they decide to go this route they HAVE to push standard brawl as the “casual” level format for on boarding brawl. But this is WOTC so they will most likely let it drown for the sake of super sweaty competitive players.

Magus Luca Kane was the first deck I ever bought and then upgraded, she’s my baby. Temur X spells is so resilient and explosive. Can easily overwhelm the early game with ramp or outlast the long game with dumping mana. It’s so fun.

There’s gotta be a healthcare bubble right, right?…..so many bubbles…-insert “I don’t think this bubble can get any bigger NONSENSE” meme here-

Both new primary care and dentist appointments are 12 months out. It’s insane. How can EVERYONE be 12 months out. Makes no sense.

The drill won me all my games at pre release. It’s a menace. Different format for sure but ALL HAIL THE DRILL.

Let’s gooooooo so pumped.

Do you think any of the ATLA will be fun in standard brawl? I think fire/earthbending decks would be a hoot.

Update: had an amazing time! Went 3-0 with a green-black-red earthbending deck. Fire nation drill is so oppressive. Love this set so much.

Going to mine today, so pumped!!

1 step forward, 3 steps back. Amazing work here….

OMG LETS GO

Thank you for having me it’s great to yap here

It’s honestly shocking to me how many people are using this system as a replacement for power level WHEN THAT WAS NEVER THR INTENTION!!! Idk how more clear you and the CFP can be lol

I’ve seen so many comments on Reddit abut the latest meta challenge, saying “see WOTC, this means we WANT a ranked queue!” Which like, I guess? But like I’m not about that at all.
October 20, 2025 at 8:26 PM
Man they HAVE to start doing ban lists for Brawl, this is getting rediculous. There is no regard for the health of this format lmao.
October 20, 2025 at 8:25 PM
It should when avatar comes out. I so hyped for that you have no idea.
October 11, 2025 at 9:47 PM
And then you translate that to the through the omen paths where it’s one-off, brand new characters, yeah I can def feel the “not as enthusiastic” sentiment.

The spot guy is cool tho, and the OM1 version being from EOE is even cooler.
October 8, 2025 at 12:32 AM
Can’t blame the guy lmao
October 8, 2025 at 12:20 AM
Man I wish spiders man was a cooler card haha. But glad they got represented at all I guess.
October 8, 2025 at 12:16 AM
That’s a good point. As far as a new player product, UB is a fantastic way into this great game. And commander (imo) is NOT the format new players should learn to get into Magic. 60 card formats are much more preferable. Really Jumpstart is the best at this but the 60 card formats are still good.
October 7, 2025 at 12:26 AM
This 1000%. LOTR and FF felt great. So did 40k as a standalone commander set. But the “forced standard but all now more than 50% UB” is what kinda kills it for me, the over saturation.
October 6, 2025 at 11:04 PM
For me, UB hasn’t really affected my gameplay of commander. I have no problem running cloud or megatron or Dogmeat in the command zone, or playing against them.

I have more of a problem with it in standard. UB should be an optional alternative that YOU want to engage in, and not be forced into.
October 6, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Gotcha gotcha no worries! Totally makes sense.

Would love a “State of Brawl” type video from ya, like laying out the collective issues from the past couple months.
