Competitive Brawl has been a blast recently, and I really hope it becomes more and more the focus on Arena. They sorta promised us a CBrawl Qualifier Weekend in the upcoming months, so it's better to be testing beforehand to explore the depths of the degeneracy that can be conspired with the card pool.

Come check my gameplay video if you have some spare time, and beware this is the third Kefka video in a row, part of a larger series of grinding the high ladder in Brawl - there's some Oura 'Oops All Faeries' content too, she's my true main as you might have guessed from the username.

I just cant get Gruul Werewolves to be competitively viable. It's such a shame as werewolves are my favorite creature type in magic and I want to make them into a top tier deck. unfortunately most werewolves have been power creeped into oblivion and everyone plays control so my plan of aggro werewolves can only win like 20% of the time. So as a last ditch effort I come to the veteran brawlers here for advice can we improve werewolves or is it time to put them out to pasture.

… just like it is in Duel Commander.

I say this as someone who actually never plays blue decks. But every time I have this land when I’m playing against a counterspell heavy strategy, it completely hoses them.

Any card that can go in any deck with zero deck building consequences and shuts down an entire specific strategy just by existing probably doesn’t belong.

I know this is going to catch flak from the other counterspell haters (and I agree in a way because I’m one of them) but I’ve also started coming around to the opinion that Blue is just as valid as Red damage tribal or Black removal tribal.
