What format do people play in Arena? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm primarily a paper edh player, but I've been dabbling in arena lately. There's so many different formats, it's hard to know where to start and I don't want to waste my wild cards on a standard deck only to realize I like historic or brawl more.

So my question is what formats do you all play in MTGA and why?

Depends on what you're looking for. Do you want to play competitively and gain ranks for the season rewards, or just have fun with it?

For just having fun with it I'll echo the recommendations of Brawl (probably Historic Brawl). For competitive, Explorer is probably the safest bet. It's a bit more competitive than Standard, but Standard is pretty high power nowadays anyway.
