Ok so I am pretty new to this game....only been at it about 2 months. I thought maybe there was some kind of loose matchmaking, but holy hell now that I really see how bad it is I already am hating this game hard.
I spent the first few weeks getting spanked with my newb decks, that's a given, but didn't really experience any really powerful decks. After a bunch of grinding and drafts for a few weeks I managed to put together a nice mono red deck (as I suppose most new people do). When playing with this deck I see Esper control or super friends about 70% of the time, sometimes a mirror, and a few others of the more popular decks (but not many). I got tired of these same match ups over and over and went back to the grind for a month; now I've completed an Izzet Drake deck. Much to my dismay the meta then COMPLETELY changed for me. All I've seen are some kind of ridiculous control decks (I don't even know what they are, I'll have to research them), and green stompy or Golgari midrange. I have probably seen these decks a total of about 5 times before out of thousands of matches with my mono red.
This just really pisses me off. I spent so much time trying to change decks and I get crapped on by something completely different? There's got to be a better way to match people up; maybe rank players instead of decks? I honestly don't care if I'm up against other people with a similar win rate...even if their deck is going to crush mine...I'd rather see a range of different decks to play against than get stuck facing the same crap with a given deck every single time...
