This might be a little long so if I should make a full post about it somebody let me know.

I've been playing this game since the first beta, and like it a lot. However, often times I feel unable to affect the outcome of matches to a degree that I stop playing for a while. This happens the most with aggro I just can't seem to stop, and control/combo that just seems to have the perfect removal at all times.

What's confusing to me is when bilgewater first released, I started playing MF Quinn and loved it. Got to Plat quite easily with it, and felt like I really knew what I was doing and how to play in each matchup. Since then though, I have never felt that sense of understanding. It just feels like I play cards and get forced into playing into their tricks. Or even worse, I just feel completely outvalued no matter what.

So my question is, how do I find a play style or deck to stop feeling this way? I want to at least have a strong matchup against control or aggro (preferably control) while being able to not just throw down my stuff on curve and hope they don't have answers for it all. Or am I coming at this with the wrong mindset somehow, and if so how?
