At least that is what I would HONESTLY do, since I doubt if a deck rating system is implemented I would be able to get points otherwise. I mean, yes, I try to battle people, however, it seems to me only a limited percentage of the server will even play me.
The reason people don't play you is because A) rumor has it that you get all your wins from farming, and thus you're a scumbag and B) you have a LOT of good cards. No matter how well I play, for example, my odds of beating you are pretty much zero, simply because I cannot do as much damage as you.

The fact is squirt, you and a select few have a lot of good cards. Everyone else either hasn't gotten a booster yet, or, for the ones that did, didn't get any good cards from their boosters. Your deck is so much better than ours that playing you is rather pointless unless you brought your deck down to our level.

The theory behind the deck rating system (remember that no actual formula has been made yet,) is that if you have X many leveled cards, you won't be able to play people with less than X many leveled cards; you would only be able to play people with X many leveled cards or higher, since it should be a fair-ish matchup.

There's a difference between challenging people you're better than and challenging people who's deck is worse than yours. If decks are evenish, anyone has a fairly decent chance to win. If decks are uneven, one person is definately likely to win, even if I'm a better than that person at the game.

Thats what people don't like about the game right now. People who aren't necessarily that much better than them have the ability to wtfpwn them simply because their decks are better.
