I built a mill deck, since I hadn't tried one in ages. In 20 games I played against three 80 card decks. In standard!

I have never seen a deck with more than 60 cards in standard since Yorion left.

I've encountered a billion other cases where I end up playing against cards that break my deck despite never seeing them with decks that they don't, but I figured it was just observer bias. I don't think seeing multiple oversized decks is observer bias.

Why is it every time I get to platinum my deck totally stops coming up?
I’ve been playing magic for 25 years and know what I’m doing. Suddenly my deck goes from having a good mix of mana and spells to completely useless draws of all mana or spells of a different colour to the mana I draw.
Appreciate a tough game but you are making the game feel like a scam.

Again just before releasing new set they deleted no1 thread about shuffler, with 3k wotes and 10k posts. Shame on you Wankers of the C.unts

This game is a giant pile of ****. It is so frustrating I hope they go bankrupt. They clearly have went out of their way to make it this bad. I am bronze with no cards, yet I go against mythic players really? They game is clearly rigged in so many ways it's so obvious. As long as you make it this obnoxious you will never get my money or likely many others. This forum is 200 pages of hate. Maybe you should make your game better.

When I play matches I tend to get matched significantly higher than I am rated. This isn’t fun for anyone. Why would I pay money to get smashed by someone that clearly has significantly more experience than me. I understand that your maximizing enjoyment for the players that pay more to win but you are alienating your average joes and your younger player base. Thanks for ruining drafting for me

This game became really boring …
I ask the administrator staff of that game …DO U ever read what we write ?im sure u don’t care but users will not play anymore soon if every game is so flat and same than every game .

I play on events ,is it possible that in 10games I play ALWAYS against green elf ..monk white life gain or blu red total control ?
The game are finished before to start ..can you get people are bored to sign in everyday and play against those silly decks every time ?do u think it’s funny for users ?
I could create easily one elf deck or gain life since they re not even special cards BUT ITS TOO BORING TO PLAY ALL THE TIME THE SAME CARDS AS ALL OTHERS .
I BECOME BORED OF THAT GAME ..for sure I will not spend a euro and will leave soon since staff sleeps….

Match making is unreal, for exemple i made a "destroy land" deck and matchmaking only put me vs decks who can ramp and put lands in game, its pathetic never go vs random decks, is always vs decks that counter mine. same if i make a control deck only get aggro decks that kill me in 3 turns, experience of game is bad like this. don't ignore this, this is very important and 100% of players, agree with that.

Your system is still automatically pairing draft players with the most similar draft decks. I won't tolerate it, and I am simply conceding the game automatically when I see multiple rares in common. This happens every draft. It is not random, it is not realistic, and it eliminates the one thing that makes drafting fun (variety). All this because I complained about a card that was being abused back when bot drafts were still used. Please address this.

Oh don't worry, they fixed it. Now it's 100% based on the cards you use regardless of the quality of your deck and ask they do is pair you with the exact counter to your deck.

As of the recent patches I agree. My decks that easily were getting me to mythic suddenly can't win. For the last month my average wins have been 2 out of 10 if I'm lucky.

And it's not too do with the new set either as 90% of matches people aren't using new cards.

I'm either getting the worst pulls imaginable, screwed on mana completely, or I keep getting paired magically with the exact type of deck that can beat mine.

Even down in silver this was happening, SILVER. You know the rank where the literal starter decks they give you can get you to gold.

I just got done played 8 matches and lost every single one with a deck that has previously got me to mythic months upon months.

It makes zero sense.

Matchmaking is garbage, ranked matches garbage. This game is currently broken and you guys have ruined Magic. Fix matchmaking, and create algorithms based not only on player win/loss, but deck composition.

GET RID OF YOUR ALGORITHIM FOR RANKED IT IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE WORST POS I'VE EVER SEEN MAKES THE GAME COMPLETELY UNENJOYABLE

I enjoy playing MTGA but my God it feels rigged some times. I lose a few matchs in a row and then when I change decks its seems to put me up aganst decks that a designed to either nullify and undermine the mechanic I have chosen or happens to play at the speeds that put my deck at a disavantage in termes of play speed. I switch it up again and boom puts me up aganst a deck that is clearly designed to undermine the new deck I have chosen.

I will never pay money to play this game for as long as the matchmaking stays the way it is. Obviously pairing me up against decks that are designed to win against whatever I'm playing is so stupid that I am barely hanging on to free play at the moment and I feel like even then, I shouldn't waste resources in game. I go up against 20 lifegain decks in a row but then I put a few cards in that stop lifegain and never see one. I agree with every other player on these board. STOP RIGGING MATCHES AND USE A RANDOM PAIRINGS GENERATOR. Simple as far as I'm concerned: you dont fix this and I refuse to give you money.

Absolutely can confirm this! I made a flash/rouge Deck (no NETDECK or some other ********, 100% just played by me) and played like 30 games with it ONLY!!!!!!!!!! getting Mono Green or White as opponents. Every time! In the freeplayqueue!

This is so bad and ruins absolutely any diversity and fun you could maybe have, but the matchmaking makes the game as a whole kind of unplayable. Even the fact that the "freeplayqueue" is literally the same as the ranked queue just for loosers who dont want to "compete".

My suggestion: Give us a individually Banlist with like 10 Cards beeing able to be banned in freeplay for like 1 Week - you will not face them. So it would be actually able to build some Decks that are not forced by your (really bad) matchmaking system to play the same (Netdecked) 5 standartised, repetitive Decks over and over again

also drawing half the lands in a deck does not help either xD

Matchmaking is super broken. I win 3 times and suddenly i play 12 times against the same decks(minion of the mighty) and keep losing on turn 3 which is ridiculous. This has to be fixed. matchmaking should be random and not made to force losses so we should buy packs. if this keeps up people will just leave the game...

1. Please merge this idea with the number of other "matchmaking" product suggestions. It's bigger than it appears here.

2. Save me from this white/green life gain meta deck ****.

OH BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

More breaking of gameplay that is. The Crimson Vow patch literally broke the shuffler.

Matchmaking is still the most broken part of the game, but now everyone is forced to take mulligans more than 30% of the time.

Less and less matches are fun and challenging. You either stomp to victory or get rolled 80% of the time. Not fun at all. I record and post the results of this travesty of a matchmaking system, but as long as the stans keep shilling out cash to Hasbro for this borderline criminal shell game disguised as an RNG game, nothing will get done.
