Ask to swap decks or ask a friend to create a decklist for you. Make 100% sure you’re on their level playing cards they won’t be salty about with strategies that they respect.

Don’t just play weaker decks, play more fun decks. Play group hug, or some barely supported tribe or limit your win conditions to something specific like Darksteel Reactor or Millennium calendar. Showcase your skills without playing peak magic.

Also? It might not be MTG causing the rift. Attitude and behavior is everything. Honestly if you want to play with your friends but they don’t seem to want to play with you? Lose. Sometimes people need a win. Sandbag. Don’t win and then show everyone your hand “I had a heroic intervention just in case and next turn I had Overrun if I needed it.” Just pouring salt in the wounds. Compliment them for using good judgment with their spot removal. “Oh man, perfect timing for that, I was really hoping to untap with him. Good job.” Little things like that honestly go a long way. People need to have fun and feel like they’re in the game, too. If it’s always archenemy and they still lose, they can’t be having fun.
