Brawl is a Commander variant that uses only Standard-legal cards.[1] It was designed and introduced by Wizards of the Coast staff Gerritt Turner,[2] and subsequently became a Magic Online sanctioned format.
Rules
Since its rule set is derived from Commander, the Comprehensive Rules consider Brawl to be an option of how to play Commander, even though in practice, it's a very different format.
From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- 903.11. If a player is allowed to bring a card from outside the game into a Commander game, that player can’t bring a card into the game this way if it has the same name as a card that player had in their starting deck, if it has the same name as a card that the player owns in the current game, or if any color in its color identity isn’t in the color identity of the player’s commander.
From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- Brawl
- An option for the Commander casual variant. See rule 903.12, “Brawl Option.”
Differences from Commander
Brawl is very similar to Commander, with the following exceptions:[2]
- Players in multiplayer games start at 30 life, not 40.
- Players in one-on-one start at 25 life, not 40.[3]
- Players in one-on-one get one free Mulligan like in Multiplayer games.[3]
- Decks consist of 60 cards, not 100.
- Any Planeswalker can be a commander regardless of whether they have the ability to become a commander or not.
- Only cards from Standard-legal sets can be used; consequently, Brawl uses its own banned and restricted list.
- Commander damage rules (from Commander) do not apply.
- You can use multiple copies of any one basic land in decks with a colorless commander.[4]
Banned list
On May 10, 2018 the banned list for Brawl was separated from the Standard banned list. Aetherworks Marvel, Attune with Aether, Felidar Guardian, Rampaging Ferocidon, Ramunap Ruins, and Rogue Refiner were all unbanned. Smuggler's Copter stayed banned. Baral, Chief of Compliance and Sorcerous Spyglass were banned.[4]
Variants
Some players choose to play Brawl using different card pools.
- Commander — Uses the Commander card pool and ban-list.
- Post-Modern Commander — Uses any card printed in the post-Magic 2015 cardframe.
- Frontier — Uses cards from Magic 2015 onward.
- Origins — Uses cards from Origins onward.
- Kerfuffle — Includes silver-bordered cards.[5]
- Eternal — Decks are made from historical Standard formats; currently legal decks become Eternal Brawl decks after Standard rotates.[6][7]
