Barroom Brawl rulings

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

Barroom Brawl keyword rules

Fight Rule 701.12

A spell or ability may instruct a creature to fight another creature or it may instruct two creatures to fight each other. Each of those creatures deals damage equal to its power to the other creature.

If one or both creatures instructed to fight are no longer on the battlefield or are no longer creatures, neither of them fights or deals damage. If one or both creatures are illegal targets for a resolving spell or ability that instructs them to fight, neither of them fights or deals damage.

If a creature fights itself, it deals damage to itself equal to twice its power.

The damage dealt when a creature fights isn’t combat damage.
