They use that system because it ends up pitting you against a fair match.

If they went strictly by level, then you'd have F2P players that have been playing for a long time that would get crushed by anyone that has spent even a couple bucks on the game (because they'd have raid cards, and the free player most likely wouldn't).

What this basically means is that, barring any kind of weird set-up/strategy (like the "peon deck"), you should have a 50/50 chance of winning most of the battles you are presented with.

Also, keep in mind that a high level can't really attack you in this game either, unless your deck power is very high, because you will never be in the list of suggested opponents.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there isn't really anything at stake, here, other than credits. No one can steal your Episode Flamewar from you, or your Battle Cube Recharge because they attacked you (if that were the case then, yes, I'm sure we'd see some form of protection from other players being offered).
