The thing is that without leagues, playing without max decks, you'll eventually start facing max decks (or decks above your level), especially if you're good enough.

You either outskill the max deck, or you lose to the max deck and go down to a rating where there are more players without max decks. Hopefully we will find equilibrium in modern without max decks once Chaos Legion rotates.
That works in theory but in practice, especially the best players, will eventually be at the point where they face about half max decks (or decks a level above). And this is the best case scenario where there are enough players. What we currently have is nowhere near that and it will get worse after CL leaves Modern. We're gonna have even bigger rating gaps between opponents, which is gonna increase the chances of facing higher and lower levels.
I hope it is better than that if new players come in!
