Hey everyone! The word on the streets is that a lot of people are hyped for the upcoming edition of Midweek Magic. The possibility of getting free cards from an event that doesn’t tax your wildcards is a godsend for plenty of players on the free to play train.
This week that event is going to be Artisan Brawl. That is similar to Brawl with 100 card decks from the historic card pool except you are only playing with commons and uncommons.
A lot of these decks tend to be all in every game because without rares or mythics there is a serious lack of sweepers in the format. In many ways it feels like the coin flip could be the determining factor here.
Some of these deck lists might say that they have rares in them, but according to Arena they all have uncommon or common variations. Of course, there could be last minute complications, but I’ll do what I can to fix them if they pop up.
I’ll keep the babbling short and get to some deck lists for you.
Event Details
Bring a 100-card Brawl deck using only commons, uncommons, and basic lands. What new ideas will you brew up in this unique format?

Ends After: You can play as much as you like for the duration of the event.
Aggressive burn decks tend to get the job done quickly in these unsolved formats. That is especially true during that first day when a lot of people are theory crafting.
A flood of death touchers, bite spells, and pump spells with trample make Fynn a nightmare for your opponent. It’s even a nice way to get that perky poison achievement out of the way.
Almost everyone knows how annoying the Izzet wizards deck can be. Now imagine it when they always have a Balmor that can keep coming back even if you deal with it.
Ping away at your opponent with all of the spell trigger creatures while tossing more burn at their face. They will never be able to feel stable when you are packing this much heat.
Ramping up to play a pile of big dudes is a tried-and-true strategy in many formats. This might not have the same quality in that top end, but your opponents threats aren’t nearly as efficient either.
