MTG ARENA is rigged. Don't waste your time.

[YoM3N]

Topic.
I played MTG Arena for years and this game is not only totally overpriced if you pay for the boosters ( same price as paper version but without actual value).
No, the game itself is completely rigged, some reddit users analysed over 1 million games and proved that the matchmaking AND the shuffler is completely rigged.
Arenanet never really denied it but some very sketchy tweets more or less proved it and "allegedly" are ranked matches not rigged but i highly doubt it after 10.000 rounds~ over some years.
You are warned !

You will realise it at some pointh if you draw a card 3 times in a row every 3-4 games (if you have a winning streak it gets even worse) because they try to give casual scrubs a positiv feeling in the game with a 50/50 W/L ratio ( casuals bring the most money Stonkz ).
Or the rigged matchmaking where you get with some decks always the same enemies with the same decks that by chance counter your deck perfectly, that will happened for me 10 games in a row on the worst days.
A small example : I played an blue/white control deck that started to shine at turn 5-6 so rather slow and there were two decks completely destroying it ..... mono red and mono blue aggro I GOT 12 ROUNDS IN A ROW MONO RED AGGRO AS ENEMY ! At this point must be said mono red is always the top 1 meta deck because you can play it blindfolded 60% winrate was normal for it but, I had a 2nd main deck because i was so sick of the meta, i have build myself a W/B Control anti meta deck that completely destroyed absolute every aggro deck but will loose against slow decks so when I was to annoyed of the aggro scrubsl I switched over to my W/B Control deck and pure coincidence a miracle happened and i got the next 10 rounds in a row a perfect counter deck that normally not even was in the meta like no colour artifacts....
I played the game still because even after all this rigged bs Arenanet does, MTG is still by faaaaaaaaaaaar the best TCG game you can just start and play, Hearthstone ist just gambling without money, Yu Gi Oh is only a huge clusterfck now and HEX is great but still not enough player, sadly because it has a great pve mode too.
But that is still not the reason I finally stopped playing the game.
Over the years the cards became more and more broken because nobody knowhs why....
The biggest issue now is that absolute everything is totally pwned by aggro decks the biggest garbage players use mono red btw.
If you prefer skillfull decks like control decks or trolldecks decks where you exile your enemies whole deck step by step, mill was funny too but at some point the rotation became so bad, that everything that was no aggro decks became completely destroyed.

Shuffler isn't rigged. There is hand smoothing in best of 1, but they've advertised that specifically.

You can play it F2P but it takes years to get a big collection of cards ...

It takes about ten weeks to get enough wildcards to build a tier-1 deck.

I tried to cheese it with buying only boosters of Dominaria because copies become wildcards ...

Fifth copies don't become wildcards. Fifth copies of common and uncommon become vault progress. With rares and mythics, you get gems.

That's to get a deck good enough to win competitions with. If you just want a deck you can play with, you can update one of the more than a dozen decks you get for free. You can start that day one.

If you play MTG casual... y than one deck is enough, if you play it for real, than you have atleast 3 per game mode.

To think some people can actually come in here and say card draw is NOT rigged is priceless.

If you play specific decks, you fight specific decks. There is already proof of manipulation, but effecting card draw is clearly a tinfoil theory...

Draws are predictable constantly. You win when it wants you to win not by chance.

It is rigged. If not for the rigging I would I always win. I'd be a hall of famer at this point. I never misplay ever. Mommy always said I'm special.

That only happens in unranked where it's clearly stated, ranked is anything goes and most people use meta decks in ranked to climb.

There is a ebb and flow.

Yesterday, the world was my oyster. I was on a tear for a bit.

Today. I thinking of scrapping the deck that was doing so well yesterday.

Is this not the story of life in general?

Can't win them all.

In the end we all lose.

You come off like a dude thats gotten wrecked by mono red and other high ranked aggro decks and came to cry. Go play something else.

Dude everyone gets wrecked by mono red aggro even mono red aggro thats why people say its broken and op the Meta in MTG Arena is either be a mono aggro scrub or play a aggro counter deck + rigged shuffler, matchmaking

You know they are not unstoppable.
My white/black deck is 7-0 against mono red (at the moment, I been lucky)
And it is a mid tempo deck with the option to be a formidable aggro deck if given the right cards early.

Been able to stop to even stop aggro red with bad land drops (One match only a 2 for most of the match, was able to stop the charge and apply pressure, until I got a Farmhand {gave me a land}. Once I got a 3rd and put out some real problems, then they where done.

I mostly believe bad land drops are mostly my fault. (I am not good at figuring out the best rato for land vs. creatures and stuff, more so when using dual lands.)
But it just happens sometimes.

Nobody complains though when it is happening to their opponent

WOOOOOW so you want to tell me that there are counter decks for some decks ?! Never thought of ty ....
Always this whataboutism.... obviously there is no deck without a hard counter but there shouldn't be any need to play a counter deck only because one deck from the beginning, I build myself a mono red scrubs counter deck too but do I really want to play always this kind of decks because WOTC gives a sh!t about balance?

It's pretty simple to test it yourself. Just go to historical for some quick matches, and your white decks will face the same style of decks. Your green decks will always fight the same few deck designs...Your red will always fight the same styles...

They always par your decks up depending on what cards you have in your deck and your average level/ranking. I've ran dozens of games doing test, and i've had removing 1 card type makes the difference. MM completely changed.
