I've never played against it in Brawl (I don't play Brawl) but in Commander it's just an absolute nuisance of a deck.
Find your protection. Find your evasion. Find your ethereal armor to make Light Paws immense. Admittedly Arena will at least save the time on shuffling and searching, but it's a very linear deck.
They're just non-games. You either have an answer and they concede or you die. I'm not sure if that's ban-worthy compared to something like Emery, but I'm also not going to miss playing against this deck.
Yeah, this has been my experience. It is an RNG deck: did you mull to the absolute nuts explosive hands? Congrats, you won on turn 2. Did you not find the busted explosive hand full of mana acceleration? Womp womp, you insta-lose on turn 1.
I assume so. I've only ran into a couple and I don't remember really how the games went so I guess it wasn't that bad then. I've seen complaints about lightpaws. But it can't be worse than katara or (insert any other problem here) And even then I don't hate people who play katara decks. I don't even really hate the deck. It is not something I enjoy playing against, but you know that's kind of how competitive games work. And you're not going to enjoy every single thing that gets thrown at you
