10/5/2023 0 Comments Mtg standard meta sucks![]() I play the deck, I'm doing what you say but that's not interacting with my oponent. MTGA isn't dying or anything, but it's a shame they've mismanaged it this much. They had an opportunity to capture a much larger audience with this game, but then rapidly regressed to trying to optimize profits from their established customer base found in paper and MTGO which is significantly less casual. Then they put brawl behind a paywall (the opposite of catering to casuals, who tend to be lower investment players and are unlikely to get a lot of mileage out of a time-based ticket to unlock a format), don't have a supported way to play it with historic cards, restricted it to 1 day a week for free, and made a myriad of other horrible decisions for casual players with regards to both brawl and other features/formats. ![]() Brawl was supposed to be one (and there should be more that don't put so much focus on competition), and the singleton format normally helps ensure even jank can win at times by reducing consistency. Thanks again for all of your thoughts.īasically what you're asking for are casual formats. After thinking about it and reviewing everyone's responses, I'm not sure there is an easy solution here. Well sorry for what felt like a rant, thanks for hearing me out, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts and I'm hopeful that perhaps this can lead to some positive dialogue about how to improve the game.ĮDIT: I really appreciated everyone's insights and discussion on this. Frankly, they're right, but it also sucks, because ideally the game should encourage them to play their top tier decks in ranked matches, so that (perhaps I'm wrong here) the "play" could be left for more casual/fun games. ![]() ![]() is to play Tier 1 decks in the "play" queue. You have so many people that the easiest way to get daily rewards of gold/exp. The Daily Rewards have ruined the "Play" queue.While the player might be playing a lot of rares/mythics, maybe they're still just playing a jank deck, and, based on my experience, the match making system doesn't account for this. If a player has lost the last 15 games, maybe they shouldn't be matched up against more Tier 1 decks, regardless about how "strong" the game thinks their decks should be. The "Play" queue matchmaking process needs improvement.My issues can be boiled down to these points: I'm talking about unrelenting matchups against Fires, Adventures, Flash, all while I'm sitting here with my (by design) sub-optimal deck). But instead I'm trying to play more of a casual game and then just get completely crushed over and over and over again. Why are all that I face in the unranked "play" queue top tier decks? If I wanted to play meta decks I would switch over to playing ranked matches. But it's just so incredibly frustrating, especially when you're not playing ranked, you're just trying to have fun in the "play" queue, and all you face is Tier 1 decks. I know the card sucks, but it also seems like it might be fun to play. I get it, it's not the most optimal deck - and I fully expect it to lose against top tier meta decks. ]) but when you try out your deck you just get COMPLETELY crushed. It can be super frustrating when you're more of a casual player who doesn't want to follow the meta and you brew a random deck focused around some jank card that you think would be fun to play (e.g. I get it, but please hear me out, because there are many other players out there who might approach this game differently. I totally support that - it's one of the things that makes Magic super fun. I know there are a lots of players out there who appreciate the current meta format and really enjoy maximizing and brewing the latest and greatest decks and trying them out.
