How does rank affect casual, does it play you against same rank as well?
Trying to grind my below 10 heroes in casual but keep on getting matched up to guys with 3-4 Legendaries.
Matchmaking is the process of determining appropriate pairings in Hearthstone.
The matchmaking process functions differently for each type of play. Casual play and Ranked play at Legend rank determine pairings using each player's matchmaking rating (MMR) for that type of play, while Ranked play below Legend rank is determined by each player's rank, and Arena pairings are determined by each player's win/loss record for the current run.[1] In each case the system attempts to find a player of as similar rating, rank or record as possible.

Matchmaking ratings
Matchmaking rating (MMR) is a special internal rating system used for certain types of matchmaking. Hearthstone uses separate MMRs for different types of play, such as Casual Play mode and Legend-level Ranked play.[2] Each MMR is determined independently and does not affect other types of play. MMRs are 'hidden' and cannot be viewed by players.
MMRs are used for the following types of matchmaking:
Casual Play mode matches
Ranked Play mode matches at Legend rank
MMR is adjusted after each match, depending on the outcome of the match, and the MMR of each player:
MMR is gained with wins and lost with losses.
The amount of MMR gained or lost is dependent on the MMR of your opponent.[3]
Casual Play mode MMR is adjusted quickly when a player experiences a win or lose streak.[4]
All Ranked Play mode MMRs are reset at the start of each Season.[5] Casual Play mode MMRs currently do not reset.
