    In play mode, I want to enjoy playing Magic and not be paired against mono red decks 50% or more of the time. Would it be possible to add a feature in play mode, that tells the matchmaker not to pair or to only pair you against decks containing or not containing a certain card or that meet certain criteria? For example, I might choose to not be paired against decks that play Monastery Swiftspear or against decks that contain more than 75% of spells that cost either 1 or 2 mana. Many mono red players do so for efficiently getting daily win rewards. If I knew I could choose to have a best-of- 1 game that wasn't solely about surviving an OP mono red deck (or soldiers) intent on winning in 3-4 turns Arena would be much more enjoyable. It could go the other way too - a mono red player could choose to not be paired against certain cards, like The Wandering Emperor or to only be paired against decks that have less than 10% instants and sorceries.
    WoTC could even use the knowledge of which cards were frequently chosen as "don't pair" against cards for future set design planning.

    I have been playing only Standard 2022 since it was launched on Arena in part because I absolutely hated Emergent Ultimatum into Alrund's Epiphany. Now I realize I just can't stand Alrund's Epiphany itself. This is coming from a person who tends towards playing control decks. Taking extra turns just breaks the normal cadence of a turn-based game and when your opponent chains them one after another, you might as well just concede. WotC wants to avoid feel bad moments - well that happens when one player watches another sit and take turn after turn. PLEASE WotC, you saw how extra turn spells like Nexus of Fate and Time Warp were abused and had to ban them. Already Goldspan Dragon into Alrund's Epiphany is normally game over. As more sets are added, AE is going to be even more abused. Nexus of Fate was banned, Time Warp was banned, and as soon as rotation happens, it will be the right time to ban Alrund's Epiphany.
