69-90 rating - has negative boosted their way to permanant beginner status
90-100 rating - lost first few games brand new to the site
100-200 rating - Has not played yet this format needs to learn how the new list works
200-300 rating - is practicing with their decks
300-400 rating - have found decks they like for the format and are trying to improve them
500-600 rating - still incompetent at meta play but fairs well against other rogue decks
600-700 rating - learning their deck sucks compared to the meta
700-800 rating - Has learned the side deck exists
800-900 rating - thinks mst negates
900-1000 rating - Has learned some core mechanics and is now learnining a meta deck
1000-1100 rating - Has learned the meta deck and has officially started the top player rating grind
1100-1200 rating - ego has set in from crushing the other decks that are bad match ups for that quick rating jump
1200 -1500 rating - plays against nothing but 1-2 decks and sweats every game
1500+ rating - Officially in the very top teir of players on duelingbook for the format but still thinks mst negates.


Here is a breakdown of differently ranked players from my experience of taking calls and watching games and from my own time in the rated pool. most i ever got to was 600

A little question: How many rating do we usually get on our first rated match? (When we're still 100/0)

How do I play more when I consistently run into boring decks? It doesn't give you the motivation to play. I find this weird as when I play on Nexus I run into way better decks consistently.

Nobody is forcing you to play on DB. If you don't want to play enough to rank up, don't expect to consistently face good decks. It's the same for any game with a ranking system. You can't expect to consistently see good players at the lower ranks.

Tbf, not every ranking system resets their ratings. DB has a bit of an extended fluff period rating climb wise you'd have to deal with every format. I think the reset each time gets a bit extreme.

I don't disagree with the idea you have to win your way up in general though.

Yet Unchained is Rogue. There is nothing suggesting that it isn't.

There's nothing suggesting Metaphys isn't rouge either then

Metaphys isn't bad they are just missing a few cards.

Hslf of your post wasn't what I was talking about. I am asking to get played against better competition it seems like to me you just get picked who you are up against on who gets linked up with you first. As in the Prank Kid player with over 1000 rating I beat with unchained I should have never played against him in the first place as he way higher rating. So there is an inconsistentcy in the rating pool.

Unchained isn't rogue, it's trash tier lmao

By your own suggestion you wouldn't be allowed to play Unchained in Ranked lmao

You say you tested Unchained but you say it is bad. You need to understand the Deck correctly in order to play it correctly. Plus you need to have good ratios.

Actually I have found the best Unchained deck which is consistent and it is really good.

Unchained and good doesn't belong in the same sentence.

Also you can't climb in ranked? Maybe you shouldn't be trying to climb with Unchained. Oh wait, didn't you say Unchained is "really good and consistent"? So which is it? Why aren't you a higher rank if the deck was "really good and consistent"?

Remember when I said that the DB shuffling system was not good? After that I changed my deck completely and didn't play on rated for a while to test out what goes well in the Deck and make it more consistent. Plus yes I can climb in ranked if I played against better deck as that is when I have the most fun. That duel against the Prank Kid ayer was really fun as he was playing a meta deck and we were competing.
