Brawl Archives

Illustrated by Steve Argyle. What do you think of this rules change or the commanders affected by it? Does Kokusho need to be banned now? How about Child of Alara? And what of Brawl? Will the format popular on Magic: The Gathering: Arena be tweaked to reflect this as well? Let us know your thoughts and[...]

Their article includes not only notes on reception and bug reports but also serves as an official slew of announcements for new and continuing events such as Brawlers' Guildhall and the Arena Open. A still showcasing the Arena Open, an event on Magic: The Gathering: Arena featuring a potential monetary payout. Wizards Of The Coast: Historic Anthology[...]

Here are the most recent additions to this list, as announced this morning. In Brawl, both Winota, Joiner of Forces and Drannith Magistrate were banned The short answer for why these cards are banned is pretty straightforward Winota was deemed too powerful, to the point where she was starting to shape the format around her[...]

Yes, you read the above headline correctly, folks - Wizards of the Coast is finally sanctioning Commander League play for Magic: The Gathering!

Today this author will be returning to writing deck techs with a new deck that is a great example of inspiration on their part.

The draconic tyrant Nicol Bolas concludes his commandeering of this author's articles. Will we have peace at last?

The draconic God-Pharaoh Nicol Bolas continues his hijacking of this author's articles. Will the horror ever cease?!

The scheming draconic Planeswalker Nicol Bolas proceeds for a second day to hijack this author's articles.

Nicol Bolas, Elder Dragon Planeswalker, prolongs his attack on this author's articles!

The megalomaniacal dragon Planeswalker Nicol Bolas continues his invasion of this author's articles.

Nicol Bolas has taken over this author's next few articles!

The commander of this deck is a simple 1-drop creature, but unlike most commanders in that role in the format, it has absolutely no abilities whatsoever!

And while it makes perfect sense that Oko is banned in Standard Magic play (and even in Brawl!), Oko's niche is really within Oathbreaker. What do you think? Is Oko too strong for the one true Planeswalker-centric format? Is this deck weaker than you'd prefer, by contrast? Let us know! And enjoy the pecan pie. I'm thankful that[...]

This is the fate of poor Rhonas, the "indomitable" snake-headed god of the Egyptian-styled plane of existence called Amonkhet.

Ilharg, the harbinger of the End-Raze, the Gruul guild's interpretation of the end of days, and one ham of a hog.

She's missing an arm now, but that is no matter to a god, right?

The additions are as follows: Standard: Oko, Thief of Crowns is banned. Once Upon a Time is banned. Veil of Summer is banned. Brawl: Oko, Thief of Crowns is banned. Legacy: Wrenn and Six is banned. Vintage: Narset, Parter of Veils is restricted. A grim day for Oko Source: Wizards of the Coast While the Brawl ban was already known and instituted a good number of days ago in Magic: The Gathering: Arena, all[...]

Not too long ago, we wrote a deck tech revolving around Bontu, the Glorified. This article will focus on the eternalized version of Bontu.

Today, we will be looking over black, a color which may be even harder to find compliments for than blue.

I played extensively in the Brawl event at the end of October, both for the prize support and for fun on my own I used a pretty ridiculous blend of decks – Oko, Thief of Crowns comes staunchly into mind here, as does Torbran, Thane of Red Fell – and did my rounds to get[...]

In news which may absolutely floor a ton of Magic: The Gathering players while being completely predictable to a good many others, Commander may be the most played Magic format. Source: Wizards of the Coast According to Magic: The Gathering Head Designer Mark Rosewater in an answer to a question posed on his Tumblr blog Blogatog, data suggests that[...]

The very worst offenders among cards that facilitate a frustrating board state are the ones that provide players extra turns of play.

Today's deck techs will reflect on the two cards centered around Amonkhet's former God of Wisdom, Kefnet the Mindful (and his eternalized counterpoint, God-Eternal Kefnet).

The event, while fun as it could be, raises some concerns about what exactly constitutes a competitive Commander deck.

We are preparing for the arrival of Theros, Beyond Death through these techs, and as such we are giving special focus to the Gods in Magic.

Today, we at Bleeding Cool have a special set of two Commander Magic: The Gathering deck tech articles for you! This is the first of them.

This is a commander who embodies the Merlin trope to a T.

Today, we will be focusing on Gideon. Which Gideon? All of the Gideons.

I see no reason why this deck should ever be forgot.

Linden, Emry, Ayara, Torbran, and Yorvo make a quick cycle of five alone, but they're certainly not the only ones I've done as the Brawl decks were covered, as was the Buy-A-Box promo. Today, we will be taking a new commander – Rankle, Master of Pranks – and giving his deck an old sort of twist. Source:[...]
