    I believe they have a matchmaking system that tries to approximate players' win rate to 50%. I have recently spoken with a Magic Arena customer support employee about my concerns regarding a possible matchmaking system that is rigged (not random). I explained to him that during these past Holidays, I have played around 75 BO1 matches with my Mono-Brown Ramp Karn deck during multiple Historic Events. I was consistently facing the same three decks and sometimes some rogue decks. These decks were very aggressive and consistent. I was constantly tweaking my deck so as to adjust to what I thought was the clear "meta". Well after being of going 3-3 on average, I decided to build a jank deck that was built to hose on aggro decks. I played three events with this new deck and oddly enough that "meta" become much much much less pronounced. I started facing many Azorius Control decks and even bad jank decks (I was playing one myself). I know the sample size is small, but I became very suspicious and decided to express my concerns and confront the Arena staff.

    The customer support guy actually never denied or eased my concerns. He only said that the matchmaking system is not rigged and it was "working as intended".

    I don't know man... It just feels odd sometimes.
