MTG Arena Best-of-One feels overly manipulated because matchmaking, hand smoothing, and deck-based pairing create repeated patterns that do not feel like paper Magic. I am not asking for easier matches. I am asking for more transparency and player choice.

Please consider adding:

A true random Best-of-One queue with no deck-weight matchmaking
A visible explanation of where hand smoothing is used
A toggle or queue for paper-style opening hands
More transparency about how matchmaking differs between Play, Ranked, and Events

The current system makes losses feel predetermined, even when they may not be. That damages player trust.
