please add block players in this game

[Astaroth]

i hate people who play stupids decks like yorion or the black cat deck in games which are not competitive.I have no problem if you play in competitive, but i dont wan't to deal with the same stupid decks everytime in no competitive games, guys buy a personality, so please add option to block players so i can't match again with them, thanks

theres already another discussion that talked about this recently, but to sum up the issue with this: very abusable. Would end up leading to people just blocking the decks they lose against. Arena players ARE that sweaty.
Arena is a competitive client. It's always been that way, and will continue to be that way.

you have competitive mode if you want, so leave no competitive for fun, i am tired to deal with the same decks over and over

Would block every black discard deck.

Everyone would just block everyone that they couldn't steam roll, it's not as easy as just letting people block people, people are to quick to abuse/exploit something these days.

i hate to say it man, but arena really doesn't flow like that. It's not comp and unranked, its comp and diet comp. the players are just as lame in both. I wish unranked was more open for fun, but that just isn't how it is.

I want them to introduce a "no-rares" mode. It's be hard not to have fun there, tbh. Open the floor to some goofy/subpar cards.

No rares is a little much IMO, their are some really cool and unique rares and mythics that come across as bad rares and mythic rares currently that could actually see play if other rares and mythics were banned. What the game needs is a queue where the top x number of most used cards are banned with a weekly or bi-weekly ban update, and a matchmaker that simple looks at the last 5 games you played or so and simply doesn't put you up against someone who's running 75% or more of the same identical non-land cards.

It’s never gonna happen. Maybe a ban list with a cap, as in you can ban 15 people. But really, unless you are top mythic ranks, you’ll rarely if ever see the same person twice.

An artisan or pauper mode would not fit their business plan. Arena is magic-lite, it’s quick and casual, and can make a lot of money. If you give people the option to play without rares, probably at least a quarter to a third of the player base will go f2p and just play those modes.

If they do something like this I imagine it's be a 24 hour ban list, or MAYBE a 48 but I wouldn't hold my breath.

In unranked standard? Maybe. In historic, haha no. Pauper can be fun but Grixis affinity would stomp a lot of decks and it wouldn't even be close. Especially with the blue and black artifact lands and thoughtcast coming in from foundations jumpstart. You miss out on frogmite, orniothopter and springleaf drum compared with paper pauper decks from rarity shifts but gain cranial ram until there was a ban. Gingerbrute or refurbished familiar being a 10+ power unblockable or flying threat by turn 4 would be kind of par for the deck.

Just played a test game with a thrown together deck and I had 2 gingerbrutes and 3 myr enforcers (4/4) out by turn 3. Is it weaker than a good non-pauper deck? Yes - the jet storm deck I was playing against comboed off against me next turn. But just having pauper with the same system as everything else currently has doesn't really open many options for playing goofy cards and making them competitive.

[faebinder]

Personally I prefer to add: Block Decks with the card "xxx". I'd block all kinda of abuse decks.

Hind sight though, I should probably not do that cause i can just quit when i see these abusing cards.

They're a business. You need to think like they do. Why would they do that? They're here to make money. No.

They are here to sell cards, not make the game you want. This isn't difficult.
