How to start playing Brawl on MTGA
Brawl is a 100 card singleton format for Magic the Gathering Arena where two players compete against each other. Why play brawl? Brawl is a singleton format which reduces deck consistency. Players also start with twenty five life. This tends to slow games down a little. In addition, once you create a good Brawl deck you do not have to worry about upgrading or investing more cards in the deck because Brawl does not rotate.
It is difficult for new players to compete with established collections. I recently put together a deck which is new player friendly by focusing on cards from Bloomburrow forward. These are cards that players will likely pull anyway. The commander is Zoraline. The deck is not as tuned as some of my other decks, but remains competitive. I did use some common and uncommon wildcards from prior sets, but no rares or mythics from anything before Bloomburrow. If you want to give Brawl a try, Zoraline is as good a start as anywhere. The deck wins about fifty percent of the time. Orzhov (BW) is a great combinaton for moving forward with some of the best cards in Brawl.
Here is the decklist.
The deck should be easy enough to craft for new players and provides a solid foundation for playing Brawl in Magic the Gathering Arena.
Moving forward, players can add cards like Land Tax, Profane Procession, Grave Pact, Smothering Tide, Cleansing Nova, Farewell, Aclazotz, Sheoldred, Virtue of Persistence, Lilliana Dreadhoard General,Espeth Conquers Death, Vanquish the Horde, Ghostly Prison, Karmic Justice, Dawn of Hope, Loran of the third Path, Toscani's Welcome, AO, the Dawn Sky, Archon of Falling Stars, and Overwhelming Splendor. To improve fixing, they can add CHROMATIC LANTERN, Arcane Signet, Skyclave Relic, Replicating Ring, Pristine Talisman, The Celestus, Realmbreaker the Invasion Tree, and Solemn Simulacrum. By then, you will have your choice of Orzhov commanders like Edgar, Charmed Groom, Liesa Forgotten Archangel, or Aetheros. Eventually, a highly competitive deck will emerge. Nevertheless, one must walk before you run.
