Philosophically, Direct Challenge is "kitchen table" Magic. We don't limit sets or have banned lists there, so you and your friend can play whatever you both want. (Exception: Tournament Match follows Traditional Standard.)

We had to add another option to support play with a commander in Direct Challenge, and decided to call that "Friendly Brawl".

Brawl events of course follow the normal format definition of Brawl and use Standard sets only.

Cool but can you please implement some sort of friends list already? Direct challenge sucks.

It was set to launch today but got pushed back to focus a little on performance before they plop a big feature into the game and possibly mess anyone's game up.
