Obviously Arena doesn’t have dockside, jewelled lotus or mana crypt, but with Nadu now being banned in commander, how likely is it that we’ll see it banned in brawl too?
I’m not sure how much of an overlap there is between the ban lists of the two formats.
External link →It's unlikely it'll ever get banned. Case in point, Golos is banned in Commander but is perfectly playable in Brawl. They'll probably keep increasing Nadu's power level until it's in the depths of hell queue so it doesn't bother 'normal' decks ever again.
Yes, this is basically right. No plans to ban Nadu, and all the evidence suggests we can use the matchmaking to keep him constrained to pairing with people who are also running high-power commanders.
[[Sorcerous Spyglass]] is legal in standard brawl even though it's banned in historic brawl. Honestly I'm surprised they remembered to ban disruptor flute.
Ugin, Nexus and Field are still banned despite being perfectly okay by today's power level. Tbh, Oko probably is too.
I really doubt they'll ban anything. Nadu is annoying but not egregiously strong compared to other hell queue commanders.
There's basically no overlap between commander and brawl. In brawl they ban cards that specifically hose commanders or keep them from being played. In Commander they ban really egregious sources of fast mana and some things that are just generically strong (although it's up for debate if some of the older cards still deserve to be banned)
Ugin and Field weren't power level bans; they were banned for ubiquity. They went into basically every deck, which ended up making games feel more similar. One of the goals of Brawl as a format is to offer wide variety, and Ugin and Field worked against that.
