It certainly can't be possible that those of us who are beyond that "impossible" threshold are just better players with better cards and better thought out decks! That would mean you need to be able to admit to yourself that maybe your skill isn't where it needs to be to compete at higher levels; and maybe your deck isn't as well built as you think it is; and maybe you just don't have the cards to compete yet... Something it seems many players aren't capable of. Today it seems that if you can't progress, it's the games fault and it should be changed so that your deck is the strongest there is.
Matchmaking isn't a ladder everyone is meant to climb. It's there to provide more even matches. Sometimes that doesn't work out because there may not be enough players of your level online to match you up quickly, so it pits you against higher ranked opponents to get you in a match in a decent timeframe.
Synergy is the name of just about every card game in existence, though, so i don't understand your complaint when players use it to build strong decks.
And what are these "cheat cards?" Cards you dont have yet, so others shouldn't be allowed to use them?
Again, 50 isn't "endgame." It's a tool for matchmaking to pit high level players against each other. Your deck obviously isn't there yet, so 32 is where you belong. There's no shame in that. Sometimes we just have to understand that we're not the greatest thing to happen to the game we're playing...
