The field is getting better

OK I've just moved into position #51 - I think I was into the 100s just a while ago...

Well the point is not what position I am, but how the competition definitely has gotten better. From better decks to better plays, I'm definitely seeing a tougher challenge.

Which is a pity as I'm finding it harder to bugger around with my more fun decks ideas that concentrate more on trying things than rushing or countering. Without the important cards for some stronger fun decks (Propaganda, Ancestral Discovery, Nico, Divine Intervention, etc), I'm finding it too difficult to build consistent fun decks...

That also means that the matchmaking is pretty good - as I moved from pre top 100 to now 51 I've seen a REALLY marked improvement in quality of play

Me too. I lose a lot more than in december.

But still, I really don't like facing a noob who comes here for the first time when I have a no mercy deck. I feel bad. It's not fun for him, it's not fun for me.

We don't need a supersticious-random matchmaking, we need a real matchmaking, at least ELO based. I'm sure they disgust a noticable quantity of noobs because of this.

I have to agree with Tuism and Bronto. The games are more interesting.

But I regret one thing, while playing against some well known names high in the ratings (I will give no name ;-) ) I hope to have a great match but sometimes only find a weak deck and many misplays.
I really hate this "the more you play the higher your rating".
