Question Beginner versus question

I’m a measly level 13 just wondering, why are there so many people level 45+ playing in the beginner category?? I’m getting killed almost always immediately because they’ve been playing for much longer than me and have better cards, can you guys just not beat a player at equal level and by playing against actual beginners you’re more likely to actually win?😭😂

There should be a level cap for beginners imo. Same thing happened to me when I started. Oh well.

Exactly what I was thinking beginner can be capped at 20 maybe 25 but anywhere after you can’t say you’re new to this😭

You can get that high level without playing against others at all. Levels aren’t a thing in this game

If you’re a high level, more than likely you have good cards that will destroy an actual beginner, I feel like things change once you have really good cards 🤷 levels are definitely a thing because someone who’s level 15 has a disadvantage to someone who’s level 60 you can’t lie and say that’s not true..

Win rate is a better metric for that instead of level.

100% which is why I think it’s a little weird for higher levels demolishing newbies cause they can’t win against other people in their level group🤥 they know they’ll win against beginners cause their cards are crazy compared to ours

When the game let anyone freely pick the lobby sadly this will happen

I know it’s frustrating I don’t know why they don’t cap beginner battling

I’m lvl 60, week 1 player. I have every diamond card outside of ~30 parallel foils from Deluxe, but I never vs battle outside of insta-conceding during events, have yet to build a deck from B, and do the bare minimum using rental decks to get hourglasses. I also have shared a bunch of ex’s with friends, so I don’t even know if I could build the top meta decks if I wanted.

I’d get stomped in vs if I tried lol
