if you don't want the casual mmr then simply don't pay attention to it. It should just not matter. why worry so much about something you don't even value.

A friend of mine introduced me to the show and i have to say I'm hooked. The man they call ridiculous hat is well spoken and has time and time again made me laugh uncontrollably about his view on certain cards, of which we shall not name. the show is well thought out and has helped me in areas I've struggled in several times, I would recommend listening to them if you want to improve your game or are simply stuck and need a new outlook on the game as a whole.
