Let's Brawl — Day Zero Primer
The dawn of a new format has arrived, and we don’t yet have the tools to solve it. With EDHREC supporting Brawl with full functionality there was a need to create articles that sift through the information. Understanding a format takes time. The announcement was less than a week ago as I write this article. […]
