789502570 posted a message on Mana Flood and Mana Screw stressThis is still a problem. The code they use to randomize the deck HAS to be bad. I just played 10 games and got stuck on 2 lands or 2 non-lands in 9 of the games. 40 card deck, 17 lands. Seeing 14 cards and the ratio being 12:2 or 2:12. This ***** is just unreal. Uninstalling the game and sticking to paper.Posted in: MTG Arena -

Erza,Tower HUnter posted a message on New to MTG:Arena, how does matchmaking work?Posted in: MTG ArenaQuote from SardoNespa »In general (70-80% of the time), what happens is this:
1) The matchmaker looks at your deck.
2) The matchmaker will determine your deck's makeup and match you against the deck that is best able to counter everything you are doing.
3) If you do not have all the best cards, min/maxing your deck with every rare you need to optimize your outcome, you will be placed against someone who has that.
4) Once the match-up is determined, the matchmaker will shuffle your deck to provide the worst possible outcome (mana flooding, mana choking, wrong lands in multi-color decks, all high cost spells early on, etc.)
5) The matchmaker will give your opponent an optimal layout of hands and deck shuffling for perfect tempo and play optimization.
Enjoy!!
This.
And then match you against Teferi control or RDW, regardless of what you play, even if you ran 20 a no-rare no dual land, cluttered deck full of commons.
Then if you proceed to ask about the matchmaking issue on the Arena forums, be told to "git gud". -

SephX posted a message on New to MTG:Arena, how does matchmaking work?It's a lot worse than that. Despite what they're claiming, if you have a large-size collection, you can pretty easily see our matchmaking is being manipulated in ranked. Build a Feather deck, you'll almost exclusively fight aggro. Build Elementals, hope you like playing against Esper. Dreadhorde? Lots of mirrors.Posted in: MTG Arena
You can literally fight RDW 5 times in a row, reach for a white lifegain deck, and never see red again. It's impossible to adjust to the day's meta, because you're always shifting depending on your deck. -

Erza,Tower HUnter posted a message on I strongly suspect their is some deck-based matchmaking happeningPosted in: MTG ArenaQuote from SardoNespa »I swear its like I am up against bots, with decks perfectly matched to counter my deck AS WELL AS my opponents getting perfectly ordered cards vs. me getting mana abused.
Can relate.It's not unlike on Duels, if I played Delirium the AI would "suddenly" pull out Watchers of the Dead and that card for B that removes 3 cards from a graveyard, out of nowhere.
Quote from MTGSavage »
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.
I was matched up against Teferi control and Nexus a DAY after starting out on Arena, lol. I must have the worst of luck.
Quote from SardoNespa »The mana choking and mana drowning must stop!!!!
So true. I have 21 land in one deck, and I swear to god I draw like 11-12 out of the first 18 cards EVERY time. -

Erza,Tower HUnter posted a message on Why does the land distribution of the so-called Random Generator seem so vengfulOne issue I have almost every game is that if I play Arboreal Grazer first turn (with 2 lands in hand) I NEVER draw a 3rd land, for like 4-5 turns.Posted in: MTG Arena -

4x Dreadhorde Butchers or 4x Tefaris or 4x Scorch Spitters.
Seriously, the odds are astronomical.
Get it together MTG Arena!!! Fix your Randomizer!!!

Having power players play novices like me creates match-ups which are just frustrating for us peasants and not challenging for the power players.
They may think the way they are doing it will "force" players to invest money in the game, but, for me, that is not the way it works. Before I invest, I evaluate the game to see how well it is designed. If I see Pay-to-win aspects, or unbalanced matchmaking or broken random deck generation, that becomes a "hard-no" from my wallet. WotC - if you want my money, don't break your games.
