People have wanted this since 2021. Can we PLEASE add this as an additional format so that we can all use our normal Brawl decks against each other?

please fix it!!

This hasn't worked since Alchemy patch... I agree

It turns out you can. You just have to do something very non-obvious, which is to not challenge from the friends list. Initiate the challenge by clicking the Direct challenge icon at the top right and either enter or select your friend to challenge.

The game currently does not allow you to challenge friends (through direct challenge) to play Historic Brawl. I made a post here last month when the 100-card Historic Brawl queue came into effect after not being able to challenge my friend to a game - much to my disappointment after how excited we both were for the update.
I have since seen comments written online from WotC employees saying that you are aware of the issues and that they would be fixed in a future update. There has now been at least two major updates (MID update included) and I am still unable to challenge friends to play Historic Brawl.
I have spent a lot of real money (and time) to get wildcards in order to build Historic Brawl decks and given that I am not even able to play these decks with my friends I am unlikely to spend any more money on the game as the features I expect the game to have do not exist.
Please fix this in the next update or expect to lose yet another paying customer.
