    Edit: Why was my suggestion around matchmaking, specifically on Historic Brawl, merged with another related to shuffling algorithms? These are completely unrelated, I'm submitting my suggestion again, but I'm keeping the original below for reference.

    I thought I'd try, once again, to have fun on historic brawl with a meme Tawnos, the Toymaker list. The format is supposed to be casual, but the matchmaker algorithm constantly put me into unfair matches, that I'd never choose on paper Magic, and I end up spending a lot of time on queues due to frustrating, but necessary, insta-conceds. Is deck strength, the actual cards in the deck and not just the commander, taken into consideration at all?

    After a while I started to keep track of matches and results, here you go:

    Tiamat, concedeed as soon as it ETBed, which didn't take long. I'm running cards like Owlbear, I can't compete with 6 hand-picked dragons.

    Lolth, Spider Queen. The board had Liliana, Dreadhorde General and Yawgmoth, Thran Physican. Yeah, I lost.

    Calix, Destiny's Hand, opponent conceded on turn 3 and I can assure I'm not a threat at these early stages.

    Nalis de'Arnise. Yup, I lost to this. My opponent's list seemed to be optimized, unlike mine that I built with cards I had lying around, using only common and uncommon wildcards.

    Kenrith, the Returned King. Any surprise that I lost to this as well?

    Ramos, Dragon Engine, one of the many insta-conced matches. I attached a screenshot with the board state when it was crystal clear I would lose.

    Lozhan, Dragon's Legacy - opponent conceded on turn 5, when I managed to put my first creature down without getting countered.

    Ziatora, the Incinerator - loss

    Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss - loss, I attached another screenshot with the board state

    So let's face it, the two wins I had my opponent was probably mana screwed. I know there's a matchmaker involved, another historic brawl deck I have has its own very different bubble, but it's hard to see what is being considered here. My commander sucks (specially with the limited card pool on Arena), the deck also sucks, I lost 7 out of 9 games, what other information does the matchmaker needs to see something needs to change?

    I attached the logs if anyone wants to confirm the massacre. To make things worse, this is the 4th iteration I run for this list. I'm now polishing a **** to see if I can at least get something out of it, but it's pointless and defeats the purpose of having a quick and dirty meme deck to have fun with something different, even if inconsistent.
