I picked Jodah and cruised to an easy 3-0. My cosmetic sucked though so that’s karma for picking the op deck.

Historic Brawl is currently the best non-limited format in my eyes. I don't play any cancer queue commanders and I only face off against them occasionally.

I didn't realise I should be making a mill deck going in. 2 of my losses were a turn or two away from milling out my opponent and a couple more Secretkeepers might have made a difference. Now I know for next time.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hah.


I actually run Curse of Silence in my Reidane h-brawl deck as well but the entire goal of that deck is to get the opponent to concede out of annoyance.

Jump In! Is fun. I was mildly disappointed (not really it was free) to find that its phantom because I drew Soldiers and it had a bunch of cards I wanted.

I played the crap out of the old Jumpstart when it had exclusive lands.

It’s doesn’t even really seem like the wincon for mono-black decks. Just a target to gobble up removal while Tenacious Underdogs bury you in value.

They released some brawl precons for… Throne of Eldraine?

I used one as the bones of a commander deck.

Just seems kinda redundant when EDH is thriving.

the great thing about Historic Brawl is that you can just concede with no penalty and move on to the next game as soon as you're not having fun.

Giada, Font of Hope seems like its in that top-tier as well.

Clock-man is pretty annoying, for sure.

edit: Maybe Yawgmoth but I've never used him. I get matched up against the 5 color decks almost exclusively when I run Shrines and sometimes with Lilliana.

complaining about decks is ABSOLUTELY not the purpose of this thread. In fact, it is the worst part of this thread. It really sucks rear end to see a bunch of posts on a thread you follow and it’s just a bunch of whining about easily remedied stuff. Don’t like a deck? Play a deck that specifically counters it.

Or, and this is may be crazy, but just accept the game as it is and work AROUND it instead of of constantly banging your head AGAINST it.

Oh cool. I don’t mind seeing a Rusko every now and then (it’s an interesting deck) but it was oppressive for a while and I just ended up conceding a lot, which I typically don’t do until a game is decided.

If you go for it, be prepared to only play against another shrine deck or a 5 color commander as that’s pretty much all I get when I play my shrine HBrawl deck.

Does R&D even design alchemy cards? I think those are made by the Arena devs, which would explain the overall quality and how it's just slightly above r/custommagic

I never really thought about it but you’re probably right! That explains a lot about alchemy.

The board states in this set are hilarious. It really feels like marshaling giant armies against each other.

I thought BRO was really good but I also had a 63% win-rate (that's really, really good for me) so I imagine that colors my opinion of it.

ONE... not so much. My win-rate was positive (barely) but I wouldn't say the same about the matches. I got weird anxiety playing out ONE matches for some reason. It was kind of a flavor miss for me as well. They leaned too hard into Hellraiser territory I think.

MOM is super fun so far. The board states are complicated but I also get to make some galaxy brain plays that make me feel accomplished and good about my play-time. I am also a bit glad to see some optimism creep back into the flavor of it.

(I'm still genuinely surprised they haven't patched that set-release infinite money bug and hit everyone who took advantage of it, but i guess it's more or less impossible to tell who was intentionally abusing it and who just didn't know/understand it was happening)

I probably made 2500 gold without realizing it. I kept queuing up and saying “wtf” when my quest wouldn’t complete. Didn’t look at my gold total until someone in this thread mentioned it was a bug in our favor.
