I'm so tired of being Strip Mined that I've been playing Standard Brawl. I've brewed four decks so far, and I don't plan on stopping.

I feel it. Haven't really been in the mood to play Brawl since Final Fantasy's bonus sheet (and Vivi, tbh). I like that the option is there; playing with and against powerful cards is fun... but not when the queue is filled with those cards and there isn't an escape.

I got strip mined three times in a row off of Poq. I’m ashamed to say I roped the third person. This has to stop.

if they would create a banlist similar to the duel commander ban list (french 1v1 commander) it would be great !

Seriously the people who make and play "those kinda decks" should find a damn discord with other people who want to play that crap and stay out of random matches

I tried standard brawl but I don't know if I like being at the mercy of whatever lands happen to be legal in Standard right now.

Part of the problem is that all of the new Commanders match against each other, so it's hard for me to capture footage and test the decks out when the main thing I'm going up against is either turbo ramp or strip mine.

it's crazy that they added strip mine and wren and six within 2 weeks of each other

The main issue with the mine in a single player format is it being a land which are so much more difficult to interact with

I have never seen strip mine and I exclusively play Brawl on arena. I think the matchmaking is shit. My opponents are almost always playing either Esika or Jodah. If I play 15 games in a day, 10 will be one of those two commanders. But my partner, never sees those two.

If you're not playing a brand new commander, you're less likely to match against Wrenn and Six

That’s kinda my point. I only ever seen Jodah and Esika. Krenko is another and almost as common. There are thousands of commanders on Arena and I see the same three or four at most.

I'd love for Arena to have a personal ban list. Like you pick a couple of cards and it never match-makes you into a deck with those in it.

Most people would just use it to stop any cards that hate out their game plan.

I think arena should adopt the bracket system like commander

Join the dark side! Standard brawl is great. Just concede if youre paired against roxanne.

This is a social problem with brawl that commander doesn't have to face usually. Antisocial decks come with costs when you suddenly have to worry about what 3 other players think instead of one.
