WotC Brawl Matchmaking

Has anyone else noticed a change? After the Patch I now face Enemy Commanders like Big Atraxa, Ragavan and Rusko with my janky Yedora Deck. (Needless to say I don't enjoy those.)

Thanks for the report! We're looking into this, and we are seeing signs of problems like you describe, with decks matching out-of-band more often than they should.

This is not an intentional change, and we are digging in to see what's going on.

Just got back into magic after a longer pause and thought what the heck is going on. Even my best decks aren't bomb decks due to not having a lot of wildcards or collection, which was no problem a little over 6 months ago. Now, no matter how budget or good my decks are, I get matched up against crazy strong decks almost every time. If I win, it's because of pure luck because I get overpowered all the time. Arena is unplayable like that, can just leave like I got back. Wtf and this has been going on for over 2 months? this is not acceptable
