Play Rules/Modifiers
An exciting deck-brewing challenge, Brawl is a bit of a mixture of Standard+Commander. In this format, you'll use cards legal in Standard to build a Commander-style deck around a legendary creature or Planeswalker. You can play 1v1 games on MTG Arena.
Deck Construction:
- 1 commander card (any legendary creature or Planeswalker from a set currently in Standard)
- 59 other Standard legal cards (same color as commander card)
- Only one copy of any card except for basic lands
- Brawl decks do not have a sideboard
Additional Rules:
Starting life total is 30 for free-for-all and 25 for 1v1
Arcane Signet and Command Tower are perennially legal
Recommended best of one for 1v1 play, including a free mulligan
