Precons that WotC recently came out with for the Brawl format. It's a 60-card deck version of Commander that shares its card pool with Standard, but has a separate ban list. You start with 25 life in a duel and with 30 life in multiplayer, but other than that, it plays exactly like Commander...
Well, I can't sleeve up the Profit deck (and I'll make sure it's actually the Profit deck this time) until I get home. But I can flip a coin...
Heads it is!
I've noticed that my first version of this deck still included some cards that no longer made as much sense after I'd already cut other synergies for them. So I've made the following changes...
-1 Glint-Nest Crane
-1 Plaguecrafter
-1 Watcher for Tomorrow
+1 Cloudstone Curio
+1 Fblthp, the Lost...
Good game. I feel like the lack of enchantment removal hurts the Dangerous deck in this matchup, as Pacifism was hugely important in both of our games, contributing to the Armed deck's ability to push damage through (although at least you were able to partially work around it thanks to Bolster...
Well, I made no effort to count it last night, but it looks like it should be 38 based on this board state (5 cards in hand, 5 cards on battlefield, 12 cards in graveyard, 60 - 12 - 5 -5 = 38). Can double-check that when I get home...
UUD, roll the planar die, blank, Island, Arsenal Thresher revealing Nuisance Engine, Arcbound Crusher, Etched Oracle, Door to Nothingness. Done.

[...
Dromoka's Command during Declare Blockers. I put a +1/+1 counter on Dromoka Warrior and, um, hm...
...Castellan fights the pacified Ancestor, I guess.

[Since you're not in combat right now, I'll just assume you guys can successfully reposition characters in the chasm however you want and it'll only a take a turn.]
I figured that if there might be a lot more of these announcements in the near future, I'd just comment on them in this thread rather than creating a new thread every Monday for Pioneer updates. If you'd rather post announcement threads, I can of course post anything I think of in the relevant...
So, although I'm not invested in this format, I do think that these are bad choices from what I can tell.
Notably, I was impressed with the initial choice to ban the five Khans of Tarkir fetchlands. Those fetchlands (along with the five for the other color-pairings, which were outside this...
They already did their first announcement: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/november-4-2019-pioneer-banned-announcement
Felidar Guardian is banned.
Leyline of Abundance is banned.
Oath of Nissa is banned.
Ty closely scrutinizes the glyphs surrounding the board. He decides that they don't really look like anything. Eventually, Tomas steps in to help him look...
Tomas: "These glyphs are definitely magical in nature and they're controlling what images show up on the board. What's so odd about this...
