Brawl Information
Rules at MagicFest Side Events
Page Last Updated: June 11, 2018
Brawl is a hybrid format, half-Standard and half-Commander. The rules for Brawl are as follows:
- Your deck must be exactly 60 cards.
- Except for basic lands, no card may appear in your deck more than once.
- All cards from your deck come from Standard-legal sets. (note this Brawl does not use the same banned list as Standard)
- Before the game begins, each player moves one legendary creature or planeswalker card in their deck to the Command Zone, and is designated as their commander.
-
All mana symbols on cards in your deck must also appear on your commander.
- This includes text boxes. If your commander has an off-color activated ability, you can play cards of that color. Likewise, if a card has a mana symbol in its text box that doesn't appear on your commander, that card cannot be played with your commander.
- If your commander is colorless, you may choose one basic land type, and your deck may contain any number of that basic land.
- Your commander may be cast from the command zone. Each time you cast your commander in this way, you must pay {2} for each time you've cast it this way beyond the first.
- If your commander is countered or leaves the battlefield, you may put your commander into the command zone instead of putting it anywhere else it would go.
-
If you are playing a multiplayer game:
- You begin the game with with 30 life instead of 20.
- Your first mulligan is to seven cards, then one card less for each additional mulligan.
- The starting player draws a card on their first turn.
- If you are playing a 1v1 game, starting life total, mulligan, and card-draw rules are the same as a normal match.
