Get Rid of Hand/Mana Smoothing

Apparently this is an algorithm within the game to “help prevent any unplayable non games”. I feel like it creates them. Majority of my hands in brawl, I never get 3 land hands, and constantly have to mulligan to 5. 34-42 lands in my decks. A lot of my decks average low cmc cards. But I’ll always end up getting the same high value mana cards, every game. Most of my decks have less than 10 of those. I play the exact same decks I play on arena, in real life, never have these issues. Please get rid of this part of the algorithm.

MTG does it again

I am a veteran physical magic player since before the first ravnica block. This game being free and accessible is fantastic, I’ve bought one pack and have received 99% of the cards through playing. I have a few decks that are competitive in the platnium rankings Two weeks into playing the game again. I originally downloaded this back when it first came out, let me tell you the game has gotten WAY better

Not A Game

If you want to play competitive games against fun decks you won't do it here. You may not notice for a few months or even a year if you try to build good five color decks why don't I ever see other decks like that? Because this app only has people playing reward decks for quick wins you will never play a strategy game with another person on this app unless you meet someone in real life who actually plays this game and match up direct. The queue is full of stupid mono colored rush decks designed to win in the first few turns. I have a deck like this. I win on turn 1 2 or 3 with the winning draw. If I don't, I quit and move on, to just get my rewards. I am never playing. And 99% of the players are only playin those decks on this app. You will have to play for an entire day straight before you see someone who actually has a deck to play with you with.
