Wiki entry for the brawl
Joemag
Two great tastes that taste great together.

I mean you can look at most of the brawls that we've only run once or haven't run in a long time. Especially brawls that are highly specific to a particular expansion.
Joemag
I think there is a balance between pure random and allowing for player-choice to control that. I feel like Raven Idol hits that balance pretty well, but I do get that in a basic matchmaking queue it can make the games feel pretty long. Something I'll consider in the future, I still wouldn't say that one is soft-retired.
Joemag
Time flies right? When I'm doing scheduling I usually look at how long it's been since we've run a particular brawl, how many constructed vs. how many random/pre-constructed we're running, how many new vs. how many repeats.
This one felt like a good sweet spot. Haven't seen it in a while, good mellow random brawl. And yeah is a good follow-up to Brawliseum, which I recognize serves a different audience than most Tavern Brawls.

I can say with some confidence that the Webspinners brawl has been soft-retired. I wouldn't promise never again but certainly not in the immediate future.
