Weird because I'm still getting UR - L while occasionally getting a Star+ deck.

Same here, getting all these tanks now in my matches. Maybe some of the lower tier guys stopped playing this since they couldn't make it far. The new mode is not so new anymore now. The majority of players still playing are the stronger lineup ones.

We do not match make. The first 10 players that queue are matched to play. Balance of decks is handled by the energy game mechanic in the round. This way you're always better off playing your best 25 card deck.

Any chance on adding the R/UR abilities back on the boards to be draftable since we need them now?

Thank you for the clarification. It must really be that weaker decked players stopped playing and the other players are getting better then.

Quite the anomaly that his 5 best cards after PG13 are regular star pros and regular legend pros. The fact that there are no event cards lead me to believe that he doesn't grind... yet BTC arguably requires the most amount of grinding to get any reasonable chance of drafting a star BTC card...

You don't need a reasonable chance to win the lottery. He probably just got really lucky on one of the lower chances. It's going to happen.

Not saying it's impossible. Just baffling. Chances are incredibly low at basic. And will requires at least 4 hours of 1st place finishes.

If it was super, then it would take at least 24 hours of 1st place finishes. And as stated, his card collection doesn't seem like the grinding type.
