This feature is not currently in development, but it's an idea we've bounced around for a while: What if you could somehow (*handwaves*) save the decklist of your last opponent? Would you use that? Would you *dislike* that? (i.e., want to keep yours secret?)

      People who do want to keep your decks secret: Would you be satisfied with a checkbox that you could uncheck in the privacy options to disable sharing decks? (But it starts enabled so that the general majority who have no reason to want it disabled have it on.)

        @Jotarun @ZoggHS @RidiculousHat @PetrosmanHS @nathancPENS @definitelynotdm and anyone else that responded about deck secrecy.

        @Celestalon What if it was similar to a friend request, where you’d ask for it and if the other player approved it the game would send a message with the friend code without actually having to add them to your friends list?

          @WickedGood I'm somewhat uncertain about making another way for people to annoy each other if they want to be annoying, or require additional interaction that may not happen, so I'm leaning more toward a general "enabled/disabled" option.

      @Celestalon I’m not a fan of the idea, since it seems like it would lead to even more homogeneity than we already see - people straight copying decks they run into rather than making their own takes on them.

        @bmkibler This is an interesting thought, but I'm not sure it's correct. It would encourage people to play decks they see and are interested in, but that's only an increase to homogeneity if what they use it on is already popular decks.

          @bmkibler In fact, I think there's a good chance that it actually does the opposite: People that want to play the popular/meta decks already will find those decks on hsreplay/etc, and will trust those sites to have the "best" version more than the rando they just played against.

            @bmkibler Instead, I suspect it would see more common use for "whoa, what was that crazy deck?! I wanna try that!" situations. Decks that they *wouldn't* find on the meta sites. That reduces homogeneity, not increases. Don't know which of those intuitions is right, but it's not clear cut.
