One of the new commanders from Avatar: The Last Airbender, quickly rising in popularity in Historic Brawl, is Aang, at the Crossroads. Today, I’ve got not one, but two different builds you can explore and borrow ideas from. Intrigued? Let’s dive in!

Strip Mine leaving Arena was the right call for Historic Brawl, even if a few decks will miss it. One of those was Soul of Windgrace — a deck I managed to pilot to around a 75% win rate on ladder. But as the saying goes, Arena takes, and Arena gives. With recent updates, we’ve gained new win conditions that feel strong and a lot fairer to play against. Intrigued? Let’s dive in!

One of the most hyped commanders from the recent Avatar: The Last Airbender set is Fire Lord Azula. I’ll admit, I wasn’t very impressed at first… until I actually played her. After a few games, I quickly realized how fun and powerful she can be! Curious what this control-focused build looks like? Let’s dive in!

Slimefoot and Squee has quickly become one of my favorite commanders in Historic Brawl. The deck is fast, flexible, and packed with clever graveyard tricks that make every game feel exciting. So today, I’m breaking down my main build, how to play it, and the best tips and interactions you’ll want to look out for if you’re planning to pilot the fungus and the goblin yourself. Intrigued? Let’s dive in!

If you like playing fast and reacting to everything your opponent does, [card]Aang, Swift Savior[/card] is an awesome commander for Historic Brawl. This deck keeps the board small and uses flash creatures and flyers to stay ahead. It’s fun, tricky, and perfect for players who enjoy thinking one step ahead.

With the recent ban of [card]High Tide[/card] in Pauper, the format once again loses a combo archetype that proved to be a bit too strong for a metagame that has historically struggled against “solo” non-interactive decks. Pauper is a powerful format, but it has consistently shown that when a deck mostly plays its own game without interacting, the balance shifts quickly. So let’s break down why this happened, what changes (and what doesn’t), and my personal thoughts on the update.

Every new set brings fresh Limited archetypes to explore, and figuring them out early can make a big difference in your draft success. Today, we’re taking a look at some early draft skeletons with help from our friend Mathcorejay —huge thanks to them for pointing out the key cards that make each archetype tick. Let’s get right into it!

Marvel’s Spider-Man set didn’t exactly land with a big splash at first, and many players weren’t too excited about it. But once you dig a little deeper, you might be surprised by how much it’s already shaping Pauper decks. Some archetypes have shifted more than expected, and a few new cards are even sneaking into long-time staples.

Edge of Eternities might not have dropped a huge wave of new staples, but the few standouts it gave us have completely shaken things up. You’ll be surprised at just how many decks have shifted because of them—and there’s even one card that’s shot up in popularity almost entirely thanks to these new additions. Intrigued? Let’s dive in and take a closer look.
