Add some way to filter out colors
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.

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.
Aggro decks have the least amount of wasted time compared to decks like; white stun, blue white control and black reanimate. I just want some a turbo format or some way to filter what I play against or at the very least a revamp of the reward structure

Aggro decks are literally designed to make sure neither player gets to play the game. They cannot win if the opponent plays the game, so concede if that happens, and their strategy is to win before that happens.

There are plenty of programs that let you play solitaire at your own pace. It's not reasonable to demand this one be ruined for your personal benefit.

First I read this, I thought it was great, because I thought it was addressing the filter in our collection.
You know, like if you specifically don't want to see ANY "RED" cards, that kind of thing.
(for example, you exclude "RED" but multi-colored "RED" still appear)
(another example, you select "GOLD" and a bunch of other base-colored cards appear)

Match-Making?
Not wanting to see certain colors?
People can abuse that, so I don't think that'll happen.

Create a deck filled with protection and hexproof from the colors you want to fight with, that kind of thing.
Yeah I don't think that'll happen.

At no point did I say or even imply it. Skill is not relevant to whether gameplay occurs, or how fun that gameplay is.

Though, for the record I will say... stun decks and resource loop decks by their very nature DO require more skill to pilot than any type of aggro deck. Turns out making decisions is harder than not making decisions.
