Yeah, the intention here is not to answer "which deck is best" - the standard of play is nowhere near high enough for that. It's meant as more of a non-saturated benchmark for different LLM models, so you can say things like "Grok plays as well as a 7-year-old, whereas Opus is a true frontier model and plays as well as a 9-year-old". I'm optimistic that with continued improvements to the harness and new model releases we can get to at least "official Pro Tour stream commentator" skill levels within the next few years.
Hmm well, from my perspective, none of them are even really playing the game, they are just taking random actions. Any human, even a small child, would be much better.
And re: ages, it's worth noting that the youngest player to make Day 2 of a Grand Prix is 8 years old, and the youngest Pro Tour winner was 15 years old. I don't think it's realistic to get an LLM anywhere close to either of those players in skill level, though it's absolutely possible with a specialized model.

no, no, no.. please think. Human child psychology is not the same as an LLM engine rating. It is both inaccurate and destructive to actual understanding to say that common phrase. Asking politely - consider not saying that about LLM game ratings.
