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.”
Brawl Decks
Four special preconstructed Brawl Decks were designed for Throne of Eldraine.[3] These 60-card decks use cards from throughout Standard, from Guilds of Ravnica all the way through Throne of Eldraine.[4] There are 20 unique cards in these decks that aren't found in Draft Boosters (but they can still be found in Collector Boosters.) Each deck has seven of them — four cards unique to that deck, one card shared with one other Brawl Deck, and two cards shared with each other Brawl Deck. These cards are all legal in Standard, Brawl, and all other formats that allow the latest sets. (Or at least ones where cards in new sets are legal. A life wheel is included in the packaging.
There are no new Brawl Decks planned for the sets immediately following Throne of Eldraine. Further releases are dependent on the reactions to the initial release.[5]
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.[6]
- Players in one-on-one get one free Mulligan like in Multiplayer games.[6]
- 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.[7]
Banned list
Despite sharing same cardpool with Standard, brawl uses their own banned list instead of Standard banned list, after the rule revision on May, 10, 2018[7].
As of Oct, 4, 2019, Sorcerous Spyglass is banned in Brawl.
Variants
Some players choose to play Brawl using different card pools.
- Commander Brawl — Uses the Commander card pool and ban-list.
- Post-Modern Commander Brawl — Uses any card printed in the post-Magic 2015 cardframe.
- Frontier — Uses cards from Magic 2015 onward.
- Origins — Uses cards from Magic Origins onward.
- Historic — Uses Ixalan and onward. Based on MTG Arena.[8]
- Kerfuffle — Includes silver-bordered cards.[9]
- Eternal — Decks are made from historical Standard formats; currently legal decks become Eternal Brawl decks after Standard rotates.[10][11]
- Ravnican Guild Blitz — Uses only guild-affiliated cards.[12]
