Magic Arena - Certain deck formats not listed when creating new deck

Question

When I create a new deck this is the entire selection of options I get to choose from for deck formats.
As you can see there is no options for either Historic Brawl or Historic Pauper
AVAILABLE DECK TYPES

I simply assumed that these where not options in the game at present until one day I opened an existing deck and realized I could change its format to Historic Brawl.
I can then remove all cards and create a new Brawl deck.

The words Wot da fook come to mind.
QUESTIONS

Are these options available currently, in the past or have they been removed?
Is there a way to choose these deck formats when creating a new deck and how?

As far as I'm aware they're only available for events. It's odd that you can edit an older deck but can't create a new deck, though I assume something in the game's code allows you to turn a deck that's at least as old as one of these events into one of those event decks. I'm not sure if this is intentional or a bug.
