For those who have yet to hear about this awesome new format, here is the gist:
60 card deck; Use one legendary creature or planeswalker that has all colors in your deck as a Commander,
Use cards only in standard rotation; Brawl has its own ban list with currently nothing on it.
Only 1 of any card other than basic lands,
Start at 25 life for single-player, 30 life for multiplayer,
Free mulligan.
Its a free event just to get people started into the new format and we hope to have more in the future!
See you there!
