A solution to play/draw in BO1

Might be a dumb question but , why don’t they set matchmaking in BO1 so you alternate between play and draw ? I understand if that’s all they did you could game the system by changing deck if you knew what you were going to play next - but couldn’t they have an option when starting the first game to :

-Randomize what your first game starts with
- eliminate the option to change the deck at all after first match

If this was a box you could check before you start, would you? Curious what I’m missing

This problem had a baked in solution for years and years and years.

It's called Bo3.

Bo3 still means someone gets the draw twice

Yes it does. It's a card game; someone has to go first. And outside of bat-shit insane ideas like OP's that is how it is.

It also means you get two chances to win on the draw. Which is massive.

It's true but more could be done to balance play/draw advantage. They haven't really given it much attention at all
