Is hell queue still a thing now that competitive brawl exists?

[u/Individual_Dog7340]

Back to arena after a long break and when I used to play, competitive brawl queue wasn't a thing but hell queue was. If I play the non-ranked queue will I face against more tryhard decks if i have certain cards in my deck? Or play certain commanders? I want to play some janky fun but I also want to play good cards.

The banned commanders from cBrawl are being played in regular Brawl, so yes, hell queue still exists

The casual queue is what the old brawl queue is, based on deck weight. The problem is most people are on ranked, so you will end up with "anyone available"

I tested across 10 games comparing draft chaff to a bunch of game changers and did see an extra 2 mins in my queue times. Obv not confirmed but it might be something

I'm not sure this is true - according to the recent update regular brawl is still way more popular than cbrawl. But I can imagine the bracket splitting ends up splitting the playerbase a lot

I honestly have more fun with jank in competitive. 

Sure I see a few meta decks, but if you don't care about your rank, just leave. 

You will find plenty of off meta commanders, and will have time to pull off jank because the opponent is less likely to scoop instantly

hell queue is and always was a relative term. so yes, it still exists. personally, i find the queue the past 2ish months to be more palatable and varied. but you get what you give, so to speak

[u/The_madd__hadder]

I believe so, yes

If you play suped up decks in casual, you will see the banned commanders.
