I started at Rank 25, lost one game and then went and found a Priest deck and put that together. I ended up winning like 6 games in a row and got all the way to Rank 21 before I started running into crazy good decks and lost like 5 in a row before I finally won another to get to Rank 20. When I was Rank 21 I kept getting matched up against people who were Rank 20 and they were all really good decks. Will it change up now that I can actually lose stars?
You get matched with people at the same rank. Rank 20 gets you that months cardback so a lot people will just play enough to get it, this means you meet a lot more experienced players with lots of cards at rank 20 than the following ones. At the start of the season you will meet better decks at low ranks than at the end because the ladder resets every month, players at ranked 5 go back to rank 17 or 16.
