Why is HS so damn frustrating, and MTG Arena so fun?

"I dislike mana screw/flood, it's super frustrating" followed by "build decks better" is a ridiculously condescending response. Like, no shit awful deckbuilding and questionable mulliganing increases the odds. It happens plenty while playing well. As is yours, honestly. "Poor Hearthstone kid and his silly opinions..."

I have been played MtG for at least a decade longer than Hearthstone has existed. All HS does is make it clear that there were better ways to deal with mana (basically the only thing HS gets right over MtG besides how to make a flashy, beautiful client), which makes the games decided by it even more annoying. And 3/40 is hardly rare, by the way. 7.5% of games being decided by neither player is awful.
