Read moreSo are you saying there's a hidden deck weight system too? I don't remember that being mentioned before. Like, if I play X amount of rares/mythics in my deck then I'll be paired against broken Commanders more frequently? There are a ton of really janky rares/mythics, so if that's the case that doesn't feel very fair. Some of my decks have a lot of rares in them, but they're not necessarily powerful rares. Just cards mostly unplayable in constructed formats that fit the theme of my deck. As for not wanting to list the Commander tier ranking...not knowing which Commanders are labeled as top tier also feels unfair too. If you play a Commander that's been deemed to be top tier by the Arena team, then you're essentially being punished by being pitted against only other people playing top tier Commanders every game, but you don't KNOW you're being punished because there's no official tier list. It's almost akin to what other games do with their invisible griefer servers and soft bans. Wh...
Rarity does not influence the system. It is based on individual cards.
We hope for Brawl formats to welcome all kinds of players - casual, competitive, and in between. Obviously, when the systems we put in place to help that are not working correctly, the experience won't be as good.
When it gets fixed, can we please get an official list of which Commanders are considered high tier and will be matched against each other? Because before the last update broke the matchmaking, I found myself constantly being paired against Golos, Esika and Niv decks when using some of my Commanders like [[Nethroi, Apex of Death]] and [[Teysa Karlov]], who absolutely should not be considered to be anywhere near the power level of 5 color goodstuff piles like Golos. Also can we maybe look into a ban list update? Cards like Field of the Dead, Paradox Engine, Ugin and Agent of Treachery completely ruin the fun of the format. Field and Ugin are too much of a generic "do nothing and win" power cards that gets tossed in every deck because why not, they're colorless hard to beat bombs. It always feels so bad and frustrating when you build a board then your opponent just slams an Ugin and exiles everything.
Your commander is a large part of the matchmaking formula, but it is not the only factor. The contents of your 99, for instance, are also indicators of how you are approaching Brawl as a game mode, and our goal is to find you someone with a similar approach. It's very possible to play against someone with a more powerful commander but a less powerful deck. There are even other factors also at play, as well, so you will and should get a variety of experiences (when the system is operational).
I won't go into full details about who is pointed where. That path leads to a lot of negative behaviors: players optimizing for the system rather than for their own enjoyment, debating the fairness of rankings based on single data points, "bug" reports when one of the many factors alluded to above leads to an "out of tier" match-up, and so on.
Bans are a tricky discussion. In many ways, Brawl formats are the most casual thing we offer on Arena, and banning someone's favorite car...
Read moreThis is not only happening to you, as you can see.
The deck matching system is not currently working correctly, which I know is frustrating. We are still figuring out why not, but we'll get a fix out to players as soon as we are able. There is a fix already in the pipeline for the rematching.

> Is there any guarantee we will be able to challenge friends to this game mode?
The common wisdom is that there is never any guarantee of anything in software development, but on this one, I'll tell you - yes. You will be able to challenge friends in this game mode. We will make that work, hopefully soon. There is a lot going on right now, but we know this is an important feature to many players, and it will happen.
