Of course, the Brawl deck is currently unplayable in forge because it is from an older Brawl rotation.

Unfortunately, none of these decks can currently be played in forge, as the card legality list for brawl hasn't been updated and there is no way to turn off deck conformance for brawl (or tiny leaders).

Hello,

Is it still the case ? Any way to turn off those verifications ?
Even worse, there is no information to tell you what's wrong. Not a single hint on the screen when building a brawl deck. I'm new to the MTG Forge and using it seems like an exercise in frustration so far...

After long hours I've found the stupid log telling what's wrong: Excluding deck: 'Kari Zev Brawl' Reason: 'Abrade' is not legal.

Yes. I'd ask for the deck conformance setting to work for all formats - Oathbreaker, Brawl, and Tiny Leaders in particular - but I've done so many times already and don't want to become irritating. Forge is all done by volunteers who choose what to focus on themselves, so it's pretty unfair to be demanding

Another way of seeing what's being logged (in Windows at least) is running the forge.sh file instead of forge.exe. (If you have problems running forge.sh, you can copy it, rename the copy forge.bat and run that.)

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. I know all this is done by volunteers and I'm thankful to them. I also understand that asking too much could become annoying at some point. I'd be more than happy if someone could point me to the part of code where those checks are done so I'll try to disable them myself. A switch per format would be ideal...

As for the log file, once I've discovered it, it is always open. Any decent text editor (such as Notepad++, Sublime etc.) has real time update of the opened files
