Stalling is rude.

Sure. But maybe they're not stalling?
On occasion the server is reeeeeaaaaaaaaally slow for me, but my opponent seems to be able to play the game just fine.
I might struggle to play a land before I run out of time due to the game not responding sometimes... just sayin.
We were discussing deliberate match stalling with someone who said they did it because the matchmaking system was screwing them over. I am very aware that the game is far from perfect and boots people off at random times when they have been playing too long.

If I am constantly playing my best hand, but its a pee wee football team level and coming up against the New England patriots over and over again, that's rude. Those players are giving me an unpleasant time, and, the match-making algorithm is giving them an unpleasant time by pitting them against non-challenging foes. Or are you saying you enjoy being a bully and beating up on little guys? Most people find that rude as well.

This game needs to have tiers or match play based on how powerful one player's entire collection is vs another. In baseball, the little league teams don't play the major league teams. IN martial arts, the black belts don't compete against the white belts. I wouldn't pay them a cent for this game if they continue to have this bullying is good mentality.
There is indeed problems with the match making system. But a system isn't rude, plying the game you are given isn't rude. Getting upset at the system and then deliberately trying to waste someone's time is rude. The person you are stalling hasn't done anything to you, you've even said it isn't personal, you are just being rude in an attempt to gain a few bits of joy out of making someone miserable. If you are mad at the system then don't take it out on the players. Drop every unfair match and complain to Wizards because your method only shows that there is a problem with jerks stalling, not a problem with the matchmaking system.

Stalling is rude. If winning means that much to you, you should probably buy a better deck. No shame in buying into something you really enjoy and spend a lot of time on, even if its just digital.

It is kind of a catch-22. I agree it might be worth buying into something, but I need to evaluate the game first, and I cant without a competitive deck or 2. Having super-uber-elite decks to play against rookies like me is also rude, yet the game doesn't provide a filtering system to have the guys with the pimped out decks to play against the other guys with pimped out decks and the rookies play against the rookies.

I'm sorry if stalling is an issue for you. Its nothing personal. I only need my 15 wins per day. Just be patient. You will win the game shortly. Just accept it. If you can't, just concede and move on. it will get me to my 15 wins that much faster and you wont see me for the rest of the day.
It's not a catch 22 at all, Stalling is simply rude. If you are fine acting rude then that is a decision you have made, but don't pretend that it isn't rude. There is a large group of people that find being rude in specific ways to be OK, while others believe you should never be rude. I also believe there are times and places where its appropriate but I'm not going to claim I'm not being rude at those points.
