Im a very casual Edh/Standard player, heres my first brawl deck. The explanation of the components can be found below. Any and all recommendations welcome!

The Deck

Early game ramp

Generally we want to hit the board running with some creature ramp.

• Llanowar Elves t1 is a classic opening, hopefully followed t2 by Marwyn, the Nurturer or Drover of the Mighty.

• Aside of those 3, Rishkar, Peema Renegade should be a powerhouse in this deck. Between a bit of counter production, such as Oath of Ajani, some recursion (covered later) and Endless Sands I'm hoping to turn all my creatures into mana tappers in the long run.

• Of course a board wipe would shut this down, but at least Shalai, Voice of Plenty gives targeted protection when she comes out.

Early MidGame(3-5 mana)

As mid-game begins, the deck has a few different tactics:

• Some dissuasion from direct attacks from Baird, Steward of Argive.

• Hardcore dissuasion from targeted removal from Shalai, Voice of Plenty

• Some forms of removal and control from Bishop of Binding, Hope of Ghirapur, Thrashing Brontodon, Invoke the Divine and Caught in the Brights.

• And hopefully getting the token creation online from Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle, Oketra's Monument and Legion's Landing  .

• Possibly getting Gideon of the Trials on board for the game loss protection, the additional creature or the targeted protection, or Huatli, Radiant Champion on board to start racking up loyalty.

• Or just putting down creature pressure from Solemn Recruit, Shanna, Sisay’s Legacy, The Gods, Danitha Capashen, Paragon, Teshar, Ancestor’s Apostle or Bishop of Rebirth. Those last two are also important in a later section.

Late/MidGame(6+ mana)

By now the game should be looking sweet and theres only two ways to go from here:

• Option A, go big. Shanna, Sisay’s Legacy should be looking juicy by now and, if the decks doing its job, Ghalta, Primal Hunger should be a 2 drop. Or maybe target Danitha Capashen, Paragon with Appeal for the first strike and lifelink.

• These big baddies should be supported by indestructible soldiers like The Gods, Gideon, Martial Paragon and Gideon of the Trials (new legendary rules says we can use both at once!).

• Option B, mass disruption. Urza's Ruinous Blast and Fall of the Thran are the cards here, with two different board states they support. Urza wants you to have planeswalkers out, have the gods out, have just about all the legendary creatures you can out because everything else is gone, forever. Mind you, Mirror Mirage can 'duck' this by becoming a land, but about half the deck does get hit by your own blast so board state matters a lot here.

• The other route, Fall of the Thran, wants almost the exact opposite boardstate. The dream state would be all the mana producers out, a ton of token creatures with +1/+1 counters and a few legendary flip lands before they've flipped. Cast Fall of the Thran, destroy it with Thrashing Brontodon or Invoke the Divine and you're probably the only person with mana available for the remainder of the game. Trigger the legendary lands to flip and youre up quite a bit.

The late-late game

So we've gotten stuck and are still hanging on in the late game? Theres a little bit of support to keep the steam rolling if we need it.

• Nissa, Vital Force and Conqueror's Galleon   lets us pull back Bishop of Rebirth, Teshar, Ancestor’s Apostle, Restoration Specialist or, obviously, each other, if any of these are in the grave too early. From there we can pull back almost the whole deck.

• The Bishop and Tesher will pull back the better half of our creature support.

• Restoration Specialist will pull back all the enchantments and artifacts, and casting an artifact will pull back The specialist via Tesher.

• With this recursion on the field, Kamahl's Druidic Vow goes from good to great. The nonlegendaries are ready to be picked and the legendaries are on the field. I plan to always cast this for 6cmc, as most my deck is 4cmc or less. Maybe cast for more just to dig deeper, but 6 is really a minimum in my opinion.

• Lastly, card draw should be pretty solid if we can Huatli, Radiant Champion or Nissa, Vital Force to their ults. Ajani Unyieldings ult would really make this happen, but if hes ulting the game should be ending really.

Other notes

Just some general things to point out-

• I went with Caught in the brights over Luminous Bonds because theyre almost identical, but if I use it on a commander I can let it sit and if not I can possibly swing Conqueror's Galleon   to get rid of it for good.

• Mirage Mirror is in the deck because its just to dang good. Steal other commanders for a turn, double down on a good ability or (best of all IMO) copy a saga on your upkeep, and on draw you get a lore counter and its first ability. Do it again (to the same saga or another) to steal the second ability. Of course, the third time you do this you'll be forced to sac it, but Restoration Specialist can bring it back and, depending on what your opponents saga's are (cough Time of Ice, The Eldest Reborn, The Mending of Dominaria cough) it may be worth it.

• I totally forgot about Champion of Rhonas! but I havent decided if I want to add him yet or not... thinking about it...
