In play mode, you can choose to use a basic deck or your own custom crafted deck. You will be matched based on your ranking, unless its unranked and not the cards in your deck.
Everyone starts out with the same basic cards, but they can put in whatever cards they earn / buy / craft inside of play mode. For example, Noxious got enough donations to buy 200 packs of cards ( 250 US $) And received several legendaries, a ton of dust for crafting, and filled up a bunch of his collection. Do not play in ranked unless you are confident you can beat people who may have already bought several card packs and have a huge rarity advantage. Strategy and luck can still prevail though, and as the blues have mentioned before, some people are playing competitively with basic and expert along with a few rares.
I'm an idiot.. I thought you had to beat Basic Decks in Basic mode to unlock others, so that when I faced stronger Decks I was confused..
After like 20 losses in Basic using the start Mage deck, I decided to check Practice Mode, and apparently THAT'S how you unlock the other Heroes............
How come they didn't explain that? They over-explained everything else... After the tutorial, it just said "Defeat the Heroes to unlock the decks", and brought you to Play mode.
[i](What I mean is, I was under the impression that "Basic Decks" was a mode where people only fought using the Basic Decks, similar to Theme Decks in PTCGO..)[/i]
Some people are buying boosters so unfortunately they may have more useful cards for the time being. Don't worry, basic decks still stand a chance against these. I saw Totalbiscuit get destroyed using a deck full of epics against a mage using the basic deck!

Does everyone in this mode use the same Decks? Because I keep going against people with better cards... >_<

I've actually beaten the rouge expert deck with the preist basic.
