No other commander in the Brawl Launch event has a win ratio like Oko, Thief of Crowns. And due to the overpowered nature of Oko in the Brawl Launch event, many Magic players are conceding matches against decks with the thief of crowns as commander.\u00a0 \u201cEveryone should do this,\u201d said a Reddit user. \u201cIf Oko decks have a 100% win rate then maybe, just maybe, there is a very small chance that eventually WotC will take into account the possibility to consider that there could be a problem.\u201d Players aren\u2019t surprised by the Brawl Launch results, as Oko is already on the hot seat for a possible future ban in Standard. But at least there are answers to him in Standard where a player can play multiple copies in a deck. That\u2019s not the case with Brawl.\u00a0 Oko has the ability to disrupt every archetype and commander in Brawl. And for Magic players seeking out a fun casual game this weekend in MTG Arena are finding themselves frustrated and annoyed.\u00a0 Related: Magic: The Gathering Brawl failures may kill the format \u201cThe second you play your commander, it just gets turned into an elk or stolen,\u201d says a Reddit user. \u201cIt's not fun.\u201d The MTG Arena Brawl Launch event runs until Nov. 1. The next Banned and Restricted date is Nov. 18.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/28141321\/Oko-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185426"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1735"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185426\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185426"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=185426"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=185426"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=185426"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=185426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
