We’ve been through a lot here, and I know what you’re thinking, even if you don’t know you’re thinking it: “Is there a way to exploit the matchmaking system?” Well, that sure is a swell question because as far as I know and have found, the closest you can get to exploiting it is trying to finagle with deck weight matchmaking in Open Play. Source Exploits and Speculation – Is it Rigged? Broken? Does it Suck? If you think about it, the players in a Mythic Qualifier are probably already within a relatively similar skill level since they were skilled enough to get invited. While I have yet to see anything that breaks down the matchmaking system for those events, it’s more likely than not just using your win/loss ratio the same way any other Constructed event would. On a similar note to event matchmaking, you might be wondering about Mythic Qualifier matchmaking. So… you do you, I guess? Matchmaking for Mythic Qualifiers That hasn’t exactly stopped the “ shuffler truthers” that are out there, though. This could be pretty infuriating if you didn’t know about this, which is why it’s probably a decent idea to check up on how the matchmaking systems work before putting on your tinfoil hat and writing conspiracies. So, if you’re ever wondering why you see so many top tier decks running around in Constructed events while you’re using a clever homebrew, it’s because there’s no extra check or balance in the matchmaking system. This means that most players in those event queues are more likely to be using a deck that’s recently topped a big tournament or a deck that sits at the top of the metagame.

In Traditional Draft, the game will only use your win/loss record, while your Limited MMR will be used in Sealed along with your win/loss ratio. In Traditional, you’re only going to have your Open Play MMR affect your pool of opponents. Because of the fix, laid-back decks should have an easier time finding each other and evading the big, bad, scary competitive decks.įor example, when Omnath, Locus of Creation was banned in Standard, Wizards alluded to this “rating system”:ĭeveloper’s Note: Omnath, Locus of Creation will remain playable in Historic Brawl, but will be weighted alongside the other more competitive Commanders (e.g. Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God, Niv-Mizzet Reborn, etc.)ĭeck strength isn’t considered for your matches outside of the BO1 Open Play queue and Brawl.

This score, combined with your unranked MMR and number of games played, is used to find opponents that are the best match for you.īrawl also uses deck weight matchmaking and recently had an update to the weight of certain commanders for matchmaking. Deck weight is a system that gives a rating to each card in your deck, resulting in an overall score. Deck strength matchmaking is used in the Best-of-One (BO1) Play queue. Moving past the gears and cogs of the ranked system, let’s chat about the regular “Play” queue. So, don’t be too surprised if both you and your opponent are ranked at #876 on the ladder.Ĭhecks and Balances | Illustration by David A. It’s also important to know that players can share the same MMR, meaning two players have the same rank. Naturally, this also affects matchmaking, and you shouldn’t see too many people that are far from where you are. The Mythic leaderboard itself is comprised of 1500 spots, all of which are decided by comparing Mythic-ranked players’ MMR. For example, if you’re at 78%, that means you only have another 22% left to climb before earning a spot on the top of the top. This percentage is calculated by your MMR and tells you how close you are to the Mythic leaderboard. Once you get to Mythic, your MMR takes over completely and you’ll notice that, instead of being in stages of Mythic, you’ll have a percentage that shows you roughly where you are in the rank compared to other players. Ok, so we’ve gone over how your rank impacts your pool of opponents, but you’re likely asking: “What about once you hit Mythic and you don’t have any steps to climb like in the lower ranks?” My answer to you is that, well, that’s why MMR exists.
