Matchmaking
The matchmaking has got to get better somehow. I am not the type of person to build my own decks because I don't have that kind of time. I'm so tired of getting put against players that have competitive level decks. It's incredibly frustrating. There needs to be some kind of ban on casual play. What I mean is don't allow these ridiculously powerful decks be allowed in casual style play. I just wanna play some MTG and have fun but the way some of these decks are built it makes me not even wanna play arena when I can only win like 1 out 10. I understand in ranked it should be fair to play whatever but not on the casual side. I mean I played against someone the other day that seemed to have no creatures what so ever and he just kept playing creature destruction. I figured after all that he would play that obnoxious card that brings back all creatures from the graveyard but nope he just quit after destroying at least 15-20 creatures. Maybe that isn't a good example but point is there needs to be like a casual player style that allows for simple decks that don't make you wanna rip your hair out. I got put against mono blue mill deck at least 3X in a row. It's not fun. It got to the point that I would quit if they played a card that had mill as a landfall. There has to be a better way to do matchmaking. Separate it out somehow or run an algorithm that pairs you up with equal power levels. Please make it better. I just wanna be able to play, have fun, and at least have like a 50/50 shot of winning.

That's just nerds online for every game ever. Even if it was labeled "good times only" some jerk would still find their way in to get their rocks off beating somebody who they have no business playing against.
I blame the fact that you get gold only for winning. We all have so many hours in the day and some people want to bang those wins out and move on to other hobbies. If you were given the same rewards for playing a whole game and not conceding I believe it would lead to a healthier environment where people are here to play a card game, and not just win.
This ain't poker. It's a complex game that's interesting even if there isn't gold on the table.
