You might have noticed it's kind of hard to play magic in person in the US right now. Nick and Zak did too! So what is there to do? How about some Historic Brawl on Arena!

We got mill, mana, cheating permanents into play, the works!
Featured lists:
Bruvac
Ugin’s Eggs
Deck 5
Deck 4
Deck 3
Deck 2
Deck 1
Shoutout to the people in the Brawl Hall Discord Server for the fun games and wonderful community.
