deck card limit - stop the oversized deck madness!
Please, PLEASE set a deck size limit for standard or create another format for oversized decks. Honestly, at this point if I come across an oversized deck, I IMMEDIATELY concede. I don't have this option in ranked, but luckily that doesn't happen too much there; HOWEVER! I cannot workshop my decks when I have to concede all of the time. And yes, I do have to concede because these are jank, broken, ridiculous decks that are not appropriate for deckbuilding. Additionally, deckbuilding is what brings me the most joy in this game, so this really really sucks for me. Wizards, please do something!

@Rezzahan#77802 - I don't think you have a good understanding of how the shuffling algorithm works, or you do not play a lot of ranked. Either way, get back to your desk Wizard employee.

@Rezzahan - the problem is that the game tends to heavily favor oversized decks. The shuffler usually gives them perfect draws while the 60 card deck gets mana screwed or flooded. The matchmaking rarely doesn't pit you against them when using a mill deck. It is based on problems with Arena that wotc refuse to admit to.

Seriously, oversized decks are almost always WEAKER than an appropriate 60 card deck variant. There are only two advantages to an oversized deck: 1) the deck's strategy requires the deck to be larger (Yorion companion decks or Battle of Wits decks are about the only exmples for that), or 2) to anticipate and counter mill decks. If your deck cannot handle a bigger deck, your deck is weak or your play skill is lacking. After all, in the game it only matters how many cards you actually get from your library, not how many remain there. If I see 20 cards from my 60 card deck, and you see 20 cards from your 160 card deck, we both still only had 20 cards to play with. What does it matter that there are 140 cards left in your library at the end of the game instead of 40?
