What it does

Target creature you control fights target creature the opponent to your left controls. Then that player may copy this spell and may choose new targets for the copy.

Rulings

6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2022-06-10

    Each copy of Barroom Brawl also includes the opportunity to create a copy, so as long as there are legal targets available and the copies keep successfully resolving, the brawl can continue.

  • 2022-06-10

    If the opponent to your left chooses to copy Barroom Brawl but not change its targets, both targets will probably be illegal as the copy tries to resolve (at a minimum, both targets would have to survive and switch controllers in response to still be legal targets for the copy), and the player to their left will not be able to copy it.

  • 2022-06-10

    If both targets are illegal as Barroom Brawl attempts to resolve, it does nothing. No copy will be created.

  • 2022-06-10

    In a two-player game, the other player is the opponent to your left.

  • 2022-06-10

    The opponent to your left may choose the creature they control that was part of the original fight as the first target for their copy, even if it would die after the original spell is done resolving. If it does die, however, it will be an illegal target as the copy tries to resolve.

  • 2022-06-10

    If one target is legal and the other is not legal as Barroom Brawl resolves, neither creature will deal damage. However, the opponent to your left may still choose to copy Barroom Brawl.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Barroom Brawl

3 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Barroom Brawl — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
