The problem is that people think that creature on creature matchups should be the norm. Why? WHY do creatures bashing against each other have to be the norm?
MtG sells itself as a duel between two planeswalkers summoning fantastic creatures to fight for them in exciting battles. Look at the packaging. Look at the trailers. It's all dragons and demons. Angels and planeswalkers. Knights and elves. Goblins and vampires. Heroes fighting monsters and endless waves of zombies going up against knights defending a village. This is how MtG presents itself to prospective customers. Play this game and you get to be in control of a Thundermaw Hellkite! Command your own horde of goblins. Lead an army of elves to victory! When a game doesn't play out like that a newer player might feel like he was hit by the ol' bait-and-switch.
