The following cards are banned in Ranked Brawl:

  • Ajani, Nacatl Pariah
  • Nadu, Winged Wisdom
  • Lutri, the Spellchaser
  • Oko, Thief of Crowns
  • Old Stickfingers
  • Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer
  • Rusko, Clockmaker
  • Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student
  • Wrenn and Six
  • Tajic, Legion's Valor

Pretty good list IMO. However, if competitive minded players move to the ranked queue, that will leave all of the players who love playing these commanders in unranked, because unranked will be the only place to play them. I'm not sure if that will see an even higher percentage of the queue playing these commanders.

Does anyone have any experience with the unranked matchmaker in brawl recently? I haven't played it in a while but I'm curious what someone with a high MMR and a weak commander and deck strength gets matched against. If that equals seeing Ajani 50% of the time then that would not be fun at all.
