Afaik it technically still is? I just think it fell into obscurity since there wasn't much allure to playing it over Commander, whereas the latter doesn't exist on Arena so Brawl is the next best thing

When brawl first came out I love the format. In the kitchen it was all we played, at the shop no one else wanted to play it.
I thought I would give it another look and see what has changed over the years. When I last played it 60 Card singleton with only standard legal cards.
It appears to be quite different now.
Ah I guess they updated it since Historic Brawl took over the format. I also remembered it being a smaller, standard legal deck but guess not enough people play it that way anymore
