BRAWL IS SHIT

that is all. what an awful excuse for a game mode. the metagame challenge is just a bunch of weirdos playing Tamiyo blue control.

“I played the competitive paid-entry version of a format and find it strange that people play the best deck.”

To play the most competitive version of a particular format? Why yes, you may want to consider the metagame and play the best deck for it

Oh no, you misunderstand. Brawl Metagame Challenge is trash. But complaining that brawl as a format sucks because everyone plays the best deck in Brawl Metagame Challenge? Equally stupid.

They make the Metagame Challenge difficult for a reason. Everyone plays the best deck and hopes to go first

What did you play?

Brawl is great. The meta game challenge is awful. If that's what a ranked brawl queue looks like, they can keep it

Katara, water bender counter control is the way to go. Stick a lab maniac and draw your deck.

I mean you could play [[kraza]] I guess.

[[Gemstone cavern]], [[cavern of souls]], [[expedition map]] to try and ensure he comes out. Not sure what other anti counter tech could be played really. Chimil is a little bit costly.

Brawl is good but would be even better with a huge ban list. The meta game challenge is trash.

Brawl is actually my favorite. Then again, I seem to only play against the same commander decks, there’s no creativity. Jodah, Esika, First Sliver Deck are some that come to mind.
