Add some way to filter out colors

[M⁧⁧seth]

Please add some way to select which colors you wouldn't want to play against in normals, I don't want to play a goblin tribes deck and get exclusively paired against blue white control, blue black, or white stun. Mono red has no in color way of dealing with these decks and I don't want to play against a deck that turns a five minute game into a thirty minute game. When i'm playing mono red I normally don't have alot of free-time and getting put up against basically stall decks in casual makes it to where I am quite literally wasting my time, and makes me consider dropping the game.

The devs don't really read these steam discussions and being able to filter out certain opponent decks will never happen even non ranked off the ladder

Filtering opponents by deck type is never going to be a thing for obvious reasons.

Don't forget, you're allowed to concede. If you're playing a goblin aggro deck against control and they've stabilised and turned the corner, you can just concede if the match result is a forgone conclusion so as to not draw things out. Hell, you can concede earlier if you really want to, even if it's probably not great etiquette.

WOTC is not actively improving this game so I wouldn't expect any changes whatsoever. That said, this feature has been a long time coming for MTG. Maybe not a whole color but definitely you should be able to select a card that you will not play against. Then all the Sheoldred players could wait 20 minutes to find a match and the rest of us could take the 12 copies of doomblade out of our boros equipment decks.

The net result of such a filter would be 90% of people blocking red, and all your games would be against other mono-red decks basically decided by a coin toss - that would be fun!

matches are already a coin flip when I play red, I just want shorter matches like I said in my post

So concede. If you're going to complain that ways to stop your braindead click the glowy thing deck exist, concede when you come across them. You get your wish for shorter matches without fundamentally ruining any and all possible game balance in the process.

Then you should probably find another game.

I think it would be fantastic if WOTC gave us a "choose your opponent" mode that actually worked. If there was a place on the client people could meet to arrange friendly games with a rule zero type conversation I bet a lot of games would happen that way. I realize this wish is totally pie-in-the-sky so I don't expect to ever happen but it would be fantastic if it did.

There is discord though so you could join a magic discord and search for like minded players and HOPE against hope the clients let you connect to each other.

It sounds like you would want it too since you hate red so much, and not everyone has time for a 20-30 minute game. Sometimes I have to play another game since I don't know how much time my next game will take since I cant decide what to play against

Atleast have an aggro queue or some format where you cant have and cards with mana value over 3. It's literally not fun when I aggro some guy playing a ramp deck and he didnt draw the out, but atleast its a win and this game only rewards winning.

I'd rather play my boros equipment deck or chandra superfriends, but sometimes I only have a little bit of free time and I can only get in about four games with those decks before I have to go to bed. Plus YGO and Marvel snap (their main competitors) dont have the problem where you have to win for your daily's. If it just rewarded you for playing instead of winning I wouldn't have to play mono red aggro as much. Don't get me wrong I like the deck but it shouldnt be this way

Colors aren't the problem. Even Mono-red can do control or midrange. Every color is capable of every base archetype. Me not liking games that involve aggro decks has nothing to do with colors... mono blue aggro is just as annoying as mono red aggro. Filtering out colors would do literally nothing for me except prevent me from seeing the actually interesting decks from the color combinations that have the really annoying decks. It's an actively negative suggestion.

I don't hate red. I hate braindead aggro decks that scoop the moment the game actually starts. And those exist in every single color and color combination. Any time someone concedes, it's a waste of my limited entertainment time. And any time the game ends before gameplay occurs, it's also a waste of my limited entertainment time. Aggro decks maximize the wasted time, period. So of course I hate them.

Concede and get another quicker opponent if the current one is gonna take too long, I doubt they'll ever have a filter for certain decks/colors/cards, just get out and get your 4 wins vs the next guys that don't fool around

100% Black makes this game near unplayable for me.
