Lower the cost of entry or give use bad match protection.
Entering the events for in game gold is too expensive, considering the amount that new players have access to and how quickly you get rolled 3 for 3 losses (which has happened to me every time, despite running a deck that has got me to plat) you cant join back for days or even weeks depending on how often you actually play.
it's a bad experience, it makes me not want to play or invest in the game, to the point that I've been actively checking out other TCGs for a better experience and have been dithering about whether to ditch MTG entierly for those.
Because of how obfuscated the actual ways to enter and play are, it also feels like there is little or nothing to do.
In short either, give us more gold or lower the cost of entry to events for that gold. (**** if you gave 50 gold for every match (that people actually played) though it'd take awhile, it'd at least make you feel like you were being rewarded instead of being punished for being new.
It makes players feel awful, I'd argue to say it feels like you dont respect my time, and if you arnt willing to do that, why would i open my wallet and spend money?
