Tutor-heavy Brawl decks appear incorrectly weighted in matchmaking
Dear MTG Arena Support Team,
I am writing to submit feedback regarding Brawl matchmaking and deck weighting, specifically concerning decks that run multiple tutor effects.
In my experience, Brawl decks with access to repeated or highly efficient tutors appear to be under-weighted by the matchmaking system. These decks are often able to consistently find their strongest cards, combo pieces, removal, or win conditions, which makes them significantly more powerful and reliable than decks without similar access to tutors.
Because Brawl is a singleton format, tutors have an outsized impact on gameplay. They reduce the natural variance of the format and allow certain decks to play much more consistently than their apparent commander or card pool strength would suggest. When these decks are matched against lower-powered or more casual Brawl decks, the games often feel lopsided and unfair.
I believe the matchmaking system should place greater weight on decks that include multiple tutor effects, especially low-cost or repeatable tutors, and decks where tutors directly enable combos or highly consistent win conditions. These decks should be matched more frequently against other high-powered Brawl decks rather than lower-powered commanders.
Please review how tutor-heavy Brawl decks are currently weighted in matchmaking and consider adjusting their matchmaking value to better reflect their actual in-game power level.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
