Has anyone ever documented anything regarding the "matching algorithm"? I don't see anything on the wiki... Essentially, the wiki info states that use of highest total stats = best results, but anecdotally that has been found to be at least partially untrue. Why? Because you are matched with others in battle based on factors that may include total deck power and player level. I have heard of cases where an advanced player sets up a deck with ~200K total power (100K ATK and 100K DEF) that also has good skills or formation bonuses and they clean house with that deck, presumably because it easily beats other decks with ~200K total stats. Or still other examples of 2, 3, and 5 card decks that lead to success in colosseum for similar reasons. Clearly these decks are not the highest stat decks these players could construct, and yet they (allegedly) work. Deconstructing the matching algorithm is where the secret sauce is found.
