Same problem for me and after senfing the logs to the technical support, guess the answer :
"Based on the information you've supplied and the steps you've already tried, I’m sorry to say that we don't have any known solutions to the problem you're experiencing and are unable to advise you further. "OK, the game doesn't work and they don'y know why !!!
They follow with :
"You may want to post on the forums or our bug submission site to see if any other players have found a way to resolve this specific issue. If you do find a solution, please let us know so that we can update our Connection Issues article and agent training with that solution."Okayy, if I find a solution, I could tell them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me ?!

Same here. Game hangs after loading assets. Have no trouble connecting to anything else, just MTGA. Feels like the server is down but not showing as down. I'll try again in a little while.

someone else commented on the waiting for server thing today... i found my computer froze waitng for server for many hours upon logging in... even checked to see if it was the server down but they report up and running.... there have been unexplained internet and cellular problems today continent wide however ... that are still under explanation... but once everything else is back to normal mtgwas still blockedtoday it seems,,, its working now... so perhaps the aug6 complaints are not related to the late july patchbug

I've been having the same issue except it happens at the start screen after the game finishes loading assets. I'm on a Mac so not sure if that's the problem.

I'm also seeing this problem. It seems to have started in the last week. I'm seeing it often, but not always.
Luckily the rewards for the win still happen. -

After a match, the game gets stuck on the "Waiting for the Server..." screen. Have to close the game from windows and restart to get back to main page.

Same here. My internet connection is fine. Tried two different computers (one wired and one WiFi). Happens on both. Very frustrating. I constantly have to restart the MTGA client.

Game crashed after a game. Then got stuck on waiting for the server. Restarted the game, got endless waiting for the server again. Same thing everytime i try to start the game since.

Stuck at "waiting for server" after paying to play the new cube draft. I would like my coins refunded and a fix so I can actually play in the draft again.

I played my first Ikoria draft using a draft token.
After a pod of 8 was assembled, I was stuck at "Waiting for Server". After a minute or two I force quit the MTG Arena client and rejoined. I found that I was 9 picks into the first pack with the game having drafted for me.
I am upset because I lost almost 1/3 of a draft worth of picks to auto picks because my client didn't wake up and notice that the draft had started.
This is a negative customer experience
