Announced during the final moments of the Throne of Eldraine spoiler stream, Brawl, and four new commanders are now available in MTG Arena. The Eldraine Courtside Brawl event doesn’t have an entry fee and runs from Sept. 4 to Sept. 9. It features the four Brawl preconstructed decks and six individual rewards for wins. 

Each of the six rewards contains cards from the Throne of Eldraine (ELD) set and players are awarded four copies of each one. Although they aren’t available to play in Standard yet, MTGA says the cards can be used in Standard 2020 events leading up to rotation. 

  • Zero to one win: Heraldic Banner and 1,000 XP
  • Two wins: Syr Konrad, the Grim
  • Three wins: Faerie Vandal
  • Four wins: Savvy Hunter
  • Five wins: Inspiring Veteran
  • Six wins: Order of Midnight

The Brawl format on MTGA is a combination of Standard and Commander. Within the Eldraine Courtside Brawl event, there are preconstructed decks specifically made for Brawl. Each deck contains the following:

  • A commander card 
  • 59 other Standard cards (this event will include ELD) that share a color identity with your commander.
  • One copy per card not including basic lands

The four commanders featured in each preconstructed Brawl deck are Chulane, Teller of Tales, Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale, Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, and Alela, Artful Provocateur. 

Courtesy of a Reddit user, here is a list of all the ELD cards included in the four Brawl preconstructed decks.

  • 201 Shinechaser (ELD)
  • 202 Steelclaw Lance (ELD)
  • 205 Wintermoor Commander (ELD)
