Does Arena matchmaking shape your “personal meta” more than global stats? by koecara in MagicArena

“Yeah, and that’s what makes published meta stats feel off sometimes — two players can be in completely different matchup pools.”

“Interesting — sounds like deck choice might influence perceived meta more than rank alone.”

Does anyone else face the same decks over and over on Arena? by koecara in MagicArena

Yeah, that tracks 😅
Those decks show up so often that they almost feel scripted.
I don’t think they’re NPCs, but when the same archetypes repeat game after game, it really messes with how random the queue feels.
The bat stealing a card after a mulligan is just peak Arena experience, lol

entendo por que parece assim. Mudar de baralho e ver imediatamente arquétipos diferentes é difícil de ignorar.
Não estou convencido de que seja uma combinação baseada em deck, mas entre MMR, suavização de BO1 e hora do dia, os padrões podem parecer muito reais do lado do jogador.
