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?

I enjoy Explorer lately although the meta is very stale some days.

Otherwise Historic Brawl is fun. When I feel particularly casual I just skip opponents on there if I stare down the 6th Atraxa pile in a row.

Also, for me Explorer feels nicer than Historic lately due to the digital only mechanics taking hold in the meta. Just not my favourite style of play.

Same, I enjoy Explorer, I cannot stand the digital mechanics. Greasefang decks are almost as bad though.

Yeah i aggressively sideboard for greasefang.

Genrally the meta-whoring is pretty rough, especially on low ranks.

I just wanna sling my colorless ramp and see how far i can push it
