I’ve been using this site actively for years now to build and goldfish. Almost every day, though I admit I don’t really use the community aspect much.

Just won 5 matches in a row in Gold to move from rank 4 to 3 in Arena with my build. Beat RG Dinosaurs, Izzet Drakes, Golgari Aggro, Orzhov Midrange, and Temur Aggro.
Made this as my first MTG Arena deck. Took it for a spin on the daily and went 14-1. Lost to UW Control only because they countered Arcades and put Ixalan's Binding on my High Alert. I added Deputy of Detection after that.
Sounds fun!
My play group is primarily holding to a Modern with supplemental original cards restriction, so Meekstone, Tanglewire, and even Winter Orb are all off the radar. Sadly, some great cards like Goblin Welder are out because of our stipulation, too. Additionally, no one plays infinite combos or mana disruption, so the lack of fast mana and heavy reliance on nonbasics, too, is fine. But I totally agree that should someone decide to play something like Burning Earth I would hurt!
In addition to All is Dust and Disaster Radius I have both demons that wipe (and an Ugin preordered).
