Deck strength matchmaking

Hello, I was wondering how the matchmaking works (in both casual and against AI). I mostly play against the AI because i just started playing this game and my decks are all pretty weak. Usually I can steamroll them, especially with mono red aggro, but I'm guessing thats because mono red has mostly commons/uncommons and it matches you against weaker decks. However when I play my mono green deck I often come across AI opponents that play mythic after mythic after mythic and crush me, when I don't have a single mythic in my deck (but I have a few rares).

Its pretty frustrating and its also the reason I'm relucant to play pvp because I know the decks there will be even stronger.

I dont mean this to sound whiney at all im just curious.

The AI decks have some mythics, but not a ton. Sometimes the other guy gets a great draw, even if he's a bot. That's CCGs for you.

Ok cool. So there is no increase in AI deck quality based on your own deck quality right?

I am sure I am biased because I used to play Red Aggro so I just killed the AI before they could play or get value from their Mythics but nowadays when I try control, I see them drop a lot of Mythics :P

The AI decks are a little weaker when you are lower than about level 10, so it's not beating up on new players. The difference is not dramatic.

Lot of good posts about building your collection but no one answered your actual question.

Paging u/Paxton, could we get a response for this?

I am curious about it as well :)
