Is Brawl not liked on TappedOut or is my deck just bad?
General forum

I'm a little bit confused as to how everyone in general feels about Brawl....
For whatever reason I like to keep my average deck score as high as possible(the most upvotes I have on any deck is 26).
The brawl deck I recently posted, that I thought was good and still do think its good after a few games of playing it, has 150 views and no upvotes(which is fine), but not even a comment(which I don't get).
Just kind of looking for general feedback from anyone, but mostly from other users that have posted up their Brawl decks and if they've had a similar experience.
Nicol Bolas, Brawl Pharaoh ...this is my list btw.(sorry if this infringes some posting rules in the general forum but I'm not sure the deck help section was the best place for it.)
I'll take a look at your deck.
I predict that Brawl will be short lived, at best, due to the timing.
If you build a Brawl deck right now, a lot of your cards are likely to be rotate out in theee months time.
People who are interested in the format, like me, are building Frontier Brawl decks that won't rotate. Same rules as Brawl, bit you can use any cards from M15 onwards, no ban list.
I also think that Brawl might go the same way as Tiny Leaders; initial interest that drops off quickly.

Brawl started out fairly well with a lot of hype but now interest has waned quite considerably - both online and in my local community.
This is a shame because I really enjoyed the new format...and spent fifty bucks putting a deck together :/

- Rotation is six months away.
- If Brawl survives its first rotation in the fall, it will not be short-lived.
- Brawl has at least one thing going for it that TL never had - it was created and is actively promoted by WOTC. And it is not a watered-down version of legacy. So two things.
- Frontier brawl with no ban list sounds scary and too expensive honestly.
- I foresee Brawl being a good casual format - good enough to make sideevents at GPs, but not good enough to be a mainstay. I am thinking Paper Pauper level of popularity.

The reason why Frontier Brawl isn't OP, or that expensive, is the singleton nature of the format.
It is also cheaper than Brawl because your cards never rotate.
Don't knock it until you've tried it.
The OP was asking why no one is that interested in Brawl AT THE MOMENT.
That's what I was responding to. If people don't see it as something they want to sink money into, they won't build decks for it.
I built a Brawl deck on this site as a joke.
It was VERY difficult to attract votes for it.
A lot of people will check out decks on this site for formats they are interested in, and that seems to be why it didn't get as many views as other decks.
I can see how many people click on my decks, after I have used a Feature Token.
There were less views for my Aggro Brawl deck than I usually get for my Standard decks.

What about Modern Brawl and Legacy brawl then? ..and Vintage brawl? Two headed brawling giants? I'm looking forward to Pauper Tiny Brawlers gaining steam.
All joking aside, I would try Brawl out a bit if it's supported on magic online. I have enough standard cards in my MTGO account, and cards are cheap enough there that it could be fun.

Thanks everyone for the input.
I had/have high hopes for Brawl because it really does put good use to cards I had left over from pre releases, drafts, and the occasional booster pack crack. But now the general consensus is that it seems like a bad format.
It made sense as a format for Arena, but I believe they announced Brawl will not be included at launch. So who knows.
Thanks again everyone.

Brawl isn't for me personally. I think its not going to become a truly popular format unless it's added to magic online and/or magic arena. Maybe when dominaria comes out things will change.
