Platinum a good benchmark for a fun deck.

I feel for the free to play crowd who just want to have a fun challenging deck. Platinum is the right mark.

Past that and you hit pay & play to win meta decks that's only goal is to win and not just. 'Play the game and have fun.'

Not the players' fault for playing meta, blame WoTC devs for not creating a queue that supports/promotes deckbuilding, they could EASILY make a queue with a weekly updated ban list, but they can't be bothered to be that active in the community.

brawl is a great benchmark too

Low platinum is a place where people who have win rate between 33% and 50% are gathered, so I think you've the point - fun decks would fit there pretty nicely.

I was basically going 2 to 1 in will loss ratio with some fun games. Hit platinum and lost 7 games in a row to decks that basically are. 'I kill/disable all your things and have 10 tokens on the board and 3 monsters that inflict poison whenever you take direct damage.'

Had that moment of. 'I spent ten minutes to watch you pop off an effect combo and swing for game... if i wanted this I'd play Yugioh.'

The longer I play, the more I’m getting into brawl. But just standard as I don’t have a lot of historic cards

Rank is more about strategic balance to rarity. My main deck doesn't even really use mythics and I've capped out rank. If you're a new account and want easy rank, get 4 bloodthirsty conquerors Mythic. Think that broken strat requires the least skill, and likely banned soon.

Pretty sure every new account can meta build their first deck if you know exactly what you need, but wheres the fun in meta gaming someone else's ideas.

I know, i used to play magic with friends where what you were going to do next was part of the fun.

not just, and your going to steal my monster and sacrifice it. And your going to steal my monster and sacrifice it... how many of these card do you have. 16... riveting game play. what happens if i DON'T summon a monster and use banish cards... 20 turns later. thought so, whole lot of nothing.
