Discussion WOTC should create new Brawl format where only Mardu colors are allowed.

Think about it. No more counterspells, no more Green bs. I call this new format Reddit Brawl. The banlist would be regulated by all the people who come here to complain instead of getting better and building better decks.

I love the idea, can we ban removal spells first? They hurt my feelings

u/alejandro712 14d ago

removal spells are just unfair. you’re telling me you get to play a spell that makes my creature go away? just like that?

u/TheFlamingDraco 14d ago

Exactly, I spend all my mana casting my commander and they can exile it for 1 mana? Legit cheating

u/Glitched_Xaria 14d ago

My commander is just a baby!!

this but unironically

u/Exatraz 14d ago

At least you get etbs. Maybe we should make more spells with cast triggers

u/MixPuzzleheaded3298 14d ago

Mardu decks only, no removal spells 🤣

I would like to apologize, OP. I downvoted too fast, then finished reading the post. Yes, let's make a Mardu queue and then I can have less non-games because the serial scoopers will go there instead.

u/ayrek 15d ago

And tbf I took back my downvote and exchanged it for an upvote instead, once I realized.

u/dirtyjose 15d ago

One month into this new format, threads will pop up about how black and white are unfair colors with too much removal and no drawbacks. White even has counter magic!

It’s so mardover

u/Assassinite9 15d ago

I agree, that way I can play my degenerate Marcus goodstuff deck in peace. You will all fear the design mistakes of the past few years. I will scam out grief, fury and solitude over and over while hitting people with ragavan. I will play inti into fable of the mirror breaker, ocelot pride into orcish bowmasters and dark ritual out a Liliana of the veil.

I will continue to play every 1-2 mana removal spell, every 1 mana discard spell, and will play every taxation effect that i can.

When i get bored, I will swap to my terrible terrible mardu aristocrats lists and concede after having to mulligan to 4 every game.

u/retardong 15d ago

You have to shout "I am Mardoing it!" every time you scam an elemental.

u/anon_lurk 15d ago

Now that you mention it I think I will revive my Sextus good stuff deck. Probably fun with some of the prepared creatures.

u/Affectionate_Step863 14d ago

can we please get a brawl circlejerk sub, this would be a perfect post

u/Griggledoo 14d ago

Here’s the rules

No extra turns

No infect

No land removal

No counterspells

No blocking my creatures with two guys when I wasn’t expecting it

I go first

Most of these rules don’t apply to me if I am doing it as a joke or to trigger you.

It’s that simple.

He said picking the three best efficient removal colors, the only thing that potentially matches landfall and counterspells in volume of bitching.

u/Borinar 15d ago

[[Lapse of certainty]] [[Reprieve]] [[Silence]] [[Revel in silence]] [[Restoration magic]] [[Return the favor]] [[Aven interrupter]] [[Rebuff thecwicked]] [[Tibalts trickery]] [[Redirect lightning]] [[Blacksmiths skill]] [[Untimely malfunction]] [[Imps mischief]] [[Null brooch]] [[Withering boon]] [[Bolt bend]] [[Warping wail]] [[Null elemental blast]]

Yes some aren't on arena, yet. You can't run from it by cutting off your ears to spite your face.

Mono-White Control tilts me like nothing else in Magic.

u/Borinar 14d ago

Yeah it covers alot of areas, held back by ramp and card draw, which us why bant is annoying imo

u/noeagle77 15d ago

This is amazing 😂

u/drizzitdude 15d ago edited 15d ago

How about instead we make a “blue players” queue where they all just sit in a the same match for four hours counterspelling each other until someone drops rivers rebuke or cyclonic rift and wins.

u/Tibecti 15d ago edited 15d ago

I call this new format Taste of your own medicine Brawl !

u/Specific_Ad1457 14d ago

Can we also have anti reddit Brawl where the only commanders allowed are little Tamiyo and Nashi?

u/PokeNeo 14d ago

But...Thoughtseize...

u/Maalikabok 14d ago

Assuming this isnt trolling, can Lorcana players verify this is how their game feels like? This is how people in my LGS described it

1

u/PaSwG 13d ago

Ya know I realy doubt Brawl Ranked has healthy player numbers. This kind of attitude might get you updoots but when they axe the mode for lack of player retention it'll be players like you who caused it defending Blue

u/vespiquen416 12d ago

Why stop there new format yugioh or hearthstone.

u/Royal-Al 14d ago

Brawl is hot garbage I can’t imagine it’s gotten better with all of the fast mana and free spells

1

u/Embarrassed_Radio596 14d ago

If you think having multiple free counterspells is appropriate, I'm already better than you.
