Or just build your single match deck that will beat aggro decks. Then you'll be skyrocketing in the wins. Adapt to the meta, don't blame wizards for that. This looks like it will be one of the healthiest metas in standard for quite a while. Do you not remember the crazy cat lady saheeli rai infinite combo that won on turn 4 in standard? Now that's a deck you don't want to play against. Mono-red is easy to work around if you know how to do it.
It was even worse during Caw-Blade vs Splinter Twin days. Turn 4 infinite combo after tapping down your land or they are swinging with the bladed squadron hawk and untapping with Mana Leak! Man those were fun and oppressive days.
But you're right about the health of this format. It looks like it will be really solid. With just the starter pack and an additional $20 investment you can build a very good competitive deck. You don't have to build one of the 3 color shockland/dual land decks to be competitive. Look at the Nexusgate deck for example.
I've spent $50 and have my Esper Control list fully fleshed out, and RDW, and most of Nexusgate, and parts of a few other decks. This is fantastically cheaper than paper magic and we now have ranked best of 3, so I don't think I'll ever go back to paper magic as long as Wizards continues to support Arena.
