Magic: The Gathering Throne Of Eldraine Brawl Deck- Assortment of 4 | 1 Random Deck

It's time to Brawl! As you may have seen elsewhere today, Brawl decks are now available on Magic: The Gathering Arena for you to play! (It's available in paper when Throne of Eldraine releases on October 4!) I'm sure many of you have already taken the opportunity to go in and immerse yourself in the world of Eldraine—and these decks! Now, if you remember from my last article about Brawl, I talked a bunch about why we were doing Brawl now, and what to expect. But for a brief recap: Throne of Eldraine is where we're really firing off the format on all cylinders. We knew it would take some time to get here, so it was on hiatus for a while—but now it's back and better than ever, with preconstructed decks, Brawl on MTG Arena, and in-store play. (You can check out the above linked article for more details.) Now that I've laid the foundation out for why we're doing these decks, I want to talk about how we went about creating them, what to expect of them—and, of course, full decklists. Oh . . . and because the MTG Arena decklists differ slightly from the printed decklists, I actually have four preview cards for you to top everything all off. Ready to dig in? Let's get started! BRINGING IN THE COMMUNITY Brawl is a casual, and often social, play format, and for it to work and be successful, it was crucial that the community was finding it fun and had input. Us finding something fun isn't nearly as important as all of you finding something fun! So, as the architect on the Brawl decks, I worked with our teams to try something a little unusual and unorthodox. (And what I am about to say will, no doubt, get aspiring Magic designers around the world to bolt up in their chairs.) What was it? Well, if we wanted a community focus, we should involve the community. So, we reached outside of Wizards to design the decks. Here's how it worked. Melissa DeTora was put in charge of design for the decks. She, of course, works here at Wizards on Play Design and even sits right next to me so we could be in constant communication. She selected the colors based on needs for Brawl commanders and designed several of the cards. But then she led a team of four designers from around the country, all external to Wizards and under contract, to actually design the decks and provide feedback. This crew was a mix of different styles and backgrounds, each trying to grab different aspects of the community. Each designer led the design of a different deck. First up was Emma Handy. You might recognize her from her excellent articles over at Star City Games, and her competitive success as well. She had always noted an interest in design and was an excellent deck builder, so we wanted to loop her in. She was in charge of the green-white-blue "Wild Bounty" deck. Each purchase is 1 of the 4 decks. Cannot guarantee purchase of 4 gets all 4 decks. duplicates may occur. Each deck randomly chosen at time of purchase.
