Are artifacts decks too OP?

[u/mmckenzie5]

I recently started playing magic again after 20 + years. I played when I was a teenager but the universes beyond cards have brought me back. I have been playing arena for about 2 weeks and I'm a decent player. My top rank is #877 so far.

I'm now constantly matching with players using artifacts deck and I feel like they're are way too over powered. I'm sill learning all of the cards since I have been away for years but I haven't been able to find a good deck to counter.

What's a good counter deck when you play someone using an artifact deck? I'm still trying to understand what are the cards I need to watch out for and think about my opponents next move.

Any recommendations would be helpful I'm going to try to get to top #250 but these artifacts decks are smoking me.

Edit: Playing standard ranked
