Should be only one pool of players?

Options

I get the ranked part. To get rewards and reach a goal and whatnot. But is there a incentive to continue to play ranked and not flip to casual play when the ranking "score" will get deleted in a few weeks? I been up in the 1600-1700s to being in the 1200 and 1300s (because I don't just play one deck) in different seasons. Both pretty much have the same level of player skill and game play. The only difference is Ranked takes longer to find players at your ranking levels. So the key is staying in the 1400-1500 range. which is easy. And this is where I start playin in casual, which is ranked without having to wait for a match once you hit Masters.
