Infinate "Waiting for the Server" After a Draft Error Message
I did a Strixhaven draft that ended around 11:30 PDT on 4/15/21. After my last pick, I got an error message saying, "Drafts can't be completed at this time. Please try again later." I force closed Arena because I couldn't do anything while stuck in a draft, and now when I try to log back in, I get stuck in the "waiting for the server" screen. The noise for when the game loads plays, but it's stuck on that screen. I've restarted my computer and opened my account on several different devices.

I can't get the magic assistant to do anything but appear on an icon in the corner and check info of others in it. I synced it and everything. I need help with my draft. Please help me out.

I basically can't play ranked because whenever I press play with player at the end of the quests I get stuck on this screen for hours

Its fix now (at least for me), but I lost the draft fee and I don't even have the cards that I drafted.

Also finally able to log in, same as the last post, i think my gems are just gone, not 100% sure about it, and the cards i drafted are nowhere to be seen
Unable to play for around 26 hours, missed one day of quests, and 1500 gems, good way to start a new set!

Had the same problem too. Sad I'll miss first days of drafting, excitment's going away.

Same here. Right after update. I've tried every suggested solution on the web with no success: disabling the firewall, reinstalling the client, changing to a public DNS, checking drivers updates, connecting to the US via VPN, and even port forwarding (albeit I'm quite uncertain about this)

I wanna add to this that somehow its related to our accounts bc if you reinstall and create a new account then it will allow you to log in (at least it let me) but then I logged out and tried my original and now im stuck in the same connecting to server or w.e screen. Super frustrating missing all the hype day 1-2 now.

Same, happened yesterday morning and haven't been able to do anything since. I also purchased gems and wasn't able to access those. Unfortunate that Wizards hasn't said anything about this yet.

Same here. OS and iOS, reinstall, nothing has averted issue. Super disappointed in the lack of contact and communication from WOTC on the issue.

Same for me on PC and mobile. Bought mastery pass and bundles for this?

Happened to me too(last night). then spent 8+ hours trying to troubleshoot it my side. The problem is not my side...
Even Compeletely reinstalled the game 2ice, completely recreated my network settings 3 times, forwarded ports, blah blah. -

Yep, I'm in the same boat. This is ridiculous how nothing is being done or said to us. I'm so effing mad

Still no reply from wotc next day
Seems issue is with server managing draft[1021] [UnityCrossThreadLogger]Client.SceneChange {"fromSceneName":"None","toSceneName":"Draft","initiator":"System","context":"HumanDraft"}

Same for me. Exactly as others described, draft locked up on the final card, then tried to restart Arena. Happens on both Android and PC.
Gave up and went to sleep, figuring it would be fixed over 12 hours later but still happening.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. I got into the game for a while but when I tried resuming my draft I once again am stuck with this and cannot get back even to menus.
