Historic Brawl is awful because of all the broken cards in that format that should be banned (ex. Paradox Engine). Games end way too quickly and feel more like competitive EDH rather than a casual play format.

I consider the Explorer format to be already solved two months after release. I keep losing games no matter what deck I choose to play because everyone seems to have the answer to whatever I try to do or are playing combo decks that I cannot beat. I had to resort to running Weathered Runestone in my sideboard in all my decks to stop all the combo decks that drop cards from the library or graveyard directly into play and that isn't even enough to help me against those decks.

Standard is not worth it to play anymore because of all the boardwipes and removal you introduced into the format. Also, because you shifted the release schedule around, not having a standard set released during the summer leaves too much of a gap between the spring and fall sets.

Standard has become unplayable for me as well. I was able to get to Mythic every month this year but now that Caverns of Ixalan is available, I cannot make any progress in the format. Your decision not to have standard rotate was a big mistake as there is too much removal and stuff to contend with in the format. I basically have to deal with each card as it is played or I am sure to lose. I would suggest a list of cards to ban but you don't listen to your players or manage your formats properly to make any real difference and instead insist that everything is fine.

It has become apparent to me that this game does not want me to get better at magic. Instead this game wants to beat me down until I get to the point that I become so angry and frustrated that I no longer want to play anymore.

Thanks to the broken format called Explorer that you created and the tons of removal and boardwipes that you put into Standard, I see no value any longer in playing a game where there is no chance for improvement. Every deck I play (even if I change decks daily) has a chance of winning one or two games at the most before MTG Arena decides that is a far as I am going to go and then decides to make me lose every match afterwards.

I am sick and tired of trying to come up with new ideas for a deck, watching videos on decks I can try out only to realize that your game does not want me to have any chance on winning games or making any kind of progress whatsoever.
