Matchmaking
The MTG Arena matchmaking system and algorithm for best of one needs to be overhauled. You cannot tell me that it is randomized or a fair matchmaking system whenever I just put together a new deck tonight (Dimir Mill) and proceed to face Azorius Omniscience, 4 out of 5 matches. The 1 match that I didn't play against it, I won because it was an unfair matchup and my opponent was forced to lose due to land flooding.
Stop dictating matches for best of one based on land shorting/flooding and stop doing unfair matches. Let matches be completely randomized. I don't need to draw 7 lands whenever I know I'm going to lose due to the match up. Allow the players to be skilled enough to deal with random deck matches and not win or lose based on what the algorithm says. No one can beat an Omniscience deck on turn four unless they run early graveyard hate. Why match me up against it 4 out of 5 games?
Wizards needs to be open and clear on how the matchmaking and shuffler system works. I understand that best of three is available but it still does the same matchmaking as best of one and takes longer.
There are so many people complaining about the matchmaking in this game it's unbelievable. These types of shuffles don't happen in real life. Get your dev team together and figure it out!

Matchmaking should be random like going into a game shop and playing a live event. the shuffles definitely feel like they have a system and the matchmaking definitely is not random. I put together a lot of different decks and it is funny how each deck goes against a so called "random" player. there is definitely an algorithm in play. Certain decks always almost certainly play against another specific deck
