You know it's bad when you play this garbage for as long as I have and still feel compelled to reach out online over this matter, telling more personal MTGA experiences than anybody cares to read.

Just played a few brawl games to do the daily objective. Interesting stats:

- I went second on almost all of them, and had two lands on ALL opening hands, even after taking a mulligan on the first 3 games. On two of them, my opening hand had two colorless lands. This deviates SO MUCH from the expected math --> my deck had 36 lands: 26 white ones and 10 colorless. But shills give us the "oh it's variance" ********;

- First game was vs. Azusa Strip Mine. They reached 5 land drops per turn and playing the S. Mine from the graveyard by turn 5. A 4-mana boardwipe (the deck I used runs all the ones that I have in my collection), or Rest in Peace would have done the job. One card. But they had the much less likely 3-card combo online before I could do something impactful

-Second match was vs. the Muxus that looks at the 6 topmost cards of the library and freecasts Goblins this way. I thought I had a chance here, but oh well, all 6 topmost cards were goblins, and one of them gave all goblins haste! I don't remember what turn he cast Muxus but it was earlier than it should have been, given his mana cost. Turn 4 or 5 for sure. How lucky-- I mean skilled deckbuilding! And where were, say, my Settle the Wreckage, Teferi's Protection, Ghostly Prison, Archangel of Tithes, Authority of the Consuls, and/or Phyrexian Vindicator? The odds here are just comical. But shills will ignore the fact that all the top 6 cards were goblins and had haste and just focus on me, "the odds of you drawing those cards were so low dude" type ********.

- On the third one, opponent had all the time in the world to do what they wanted because I only drew land. Even with Land Tax triggering every turn, I went and got those 3 plains (12 total just from Land tax triggers) and STILL. DREW. LAND. EACH. TURN. But shills will give us the "oh that's anecdotal, the odds of that are so low, no one believes you" ********

- I have 15 boardwipes on my deck. Across these 3 games, I only drew 1 of them

- At no point in any game did anything go well for me. My impactful creatures were removed instantly. My removal was not enough or they had protection spells at the right time. Classic rigging experience, from what I can tell from other people's comments.

- Fourth game was against Vivi. At this point, I just couldn't take any more **** and conceded without caring about what my hand was.

- Then I started writing this, give the algorithm half an hour to acknowledge my 4 losses in a row.

- Finally I was able to play a match where the opponent wasn't living the magical Christmas Candyland Experience, and ended up -- imagine this -- having fun! Not because I won; even if I had lost, there was back and forth and the game had critical thinking, planning, and decisions to be made within it. A good Arena experience is rare so I do cherish it when it happens. Too bad it's only like 3-5% of the total games :(

I'm used to the rigging by now and most days I'm like "eh whatever". But this was extreme, even for what I'm used to seeing and experiencing in MTGA.

Sure, I have days where games go smoothly. Winning because the opponent doesn't draw their third land, all playlines falling in place and whatnot. But being on the other end is just as boring, and quite frankly, gives me the impression that it's Arena that decides what days I get to play the game-- I mean, scam.

That's all the game is. A scam. Our words here mean zero to them and even if we're right they will gaslight us and hide under 10,000 feet of layers of ****, pestilence, and legal safety. As long as they keep seeing revenue it won't stop.

HOW does this rigged trash keeps churning money? Honestly I feel like me not spending a single cent since installation is somehow connected to my bad Arena experience. But shills will say "oh that's just conjecture, you have no proof". ***** my 5 years Arena experience, all the data I've seen on the internet, and how WOTC/Hasbro handles these complaints is proof enough to know that the game-- I mean scam-- is a shady piece of sh-- I mean software that takes advantage of the best TCG out there and appeals to its playerbase through it! Even targeting younger audiences with some of their recent products! Despicable. The ones pulling the strings should be publicly shamed, and never be able to work on anything that involves consummers' money ever again.

I hope all their employees and their families get a painful form of cancer and die in such excruciating agony. That would put a smile on my face.

add in the ****** alchemy cards that you have to drop more money in. I hope this company gets shut down and their employees die of cancer along with their families.

Only people defending it are whales putting all their life savings into it because they're pathetic and never touch grass. They should do the world a favor and die.

100% rigged. Its employees should all be imprisoned for fraud.

Opponent plays every card possible in a landfall deck. Perfect opening hand and able to go first. **** I'll just scoop instead of letting the ***** waste my time like this worthless game does. I hope Hasbro goes bankrupt.

See, I can support you calling, I just paid 2000 coins for the arena event(bo3)... I usually never go bo3 because I lack the cards and also I am not a very skilled player, ok. But the way the suffler gave me the cards is totally different. I was forced to lose the first match for flooding, won the second by a little tiny nose ahead of my opponent whose luck must have been as low as mine. Imagine that mono green tifa decks usually finish in less than 6 turns, but the combo never came... The second match was dragged with chains, then at the third and decisive match I get what arena virtually never gives me in bo1. A hand with zero lands... Man... This game is really choosing who wins... Just after losing the event in the first match (*** me for spending coins there ,right?) I played best of 3 just to see and bam, there was a totally different shuffler... Very less toxic... Guys... One person maybe wrong, now many people cannot be entirely wrong. Something is up...

Dumb cucks still can't actually make the game fair. They think we don't notice but jesus christ this is terrible

100% rigged garbage. Only shills defend this piece of ****.

It is 100% rigged. Opponent draws every removal spell perfectly suited for the moment meanwhile I can't draw anything. It's garbage but also why i'll never spend money in this game.

This game is made to take your money, not play honestly. Its part of the game to get mana screwed but not back to back to back! I never experienced this playing paper cards, not at this level. Just because you dont want new player to get their feelings hurt your willing to chase away all the good ones. The shuffle is built against you based on how well you are doing, its obvious. You will not get my money.

**** the rigged shuffler, **** the matchmaking, **** the bots WHO NEVER HAVE TO MULLIGAN NAH THAT'S ONLY THE PLAYERS WHO GETS STUCK WITH THE **** HANDS IT'S NEVER THE ******* BOTS, and **** everything else about this game it's complete ********* that I always start second, I always have to play with one, two, or three less cards, it's ********* that I can't just play a nice casual game of cards because the cocksuckers who made this game had to rig everything so horribly against you it makes you start to despise the game itself,just deleted all my made historic decks because I'm just SO ******** TIRED OF BEING ****** ********** BY THIS RIGGED GAME.

This game is absolutel 100% rigged. Their children and families should be exterminated because it's something they deserve. Cheating scumbags. They're worse than the casino. Chinese piece of ****.

This is why I stopped paying money in your game. I don't think I have ever had a game of paper magic where I get LITERALLY 3/4 of my land in less than half my deck. I have gotten it a number of times in arena though. Specifically when I am on a win streak or playing draft.

I have seen every kind of wildly improbably ******** in the world jump out at me to keep me from winning big in a draft. I would LOVE to see the numbers on who actually manages to win three matches in your traditional draft format. I have a wild feeling the numbers are completely out of whack.

The ability to play draft multiple times in a week is thrilling, and I would gladly pay out money to do so. However, you have made it abundantly clear you rig your matches.

I played 25 games and guess how many i went first a big ******* 00000 and how many games did i win 000000.000000 why bc im never getting lands or only lands why my opponent gets everything perfect. Fk developers hope they get ddos attacked and wiped out for good. Nazi ran business allowing cheaters fk you wotc cuck suckers

You are playing against employees people, that is why they never have issues and are always beating you because they can cheat anytime they want. Its about making sure you lose, they know they can't rig the algo for it to happen, thats against the law and so instead to get around it they hire people teach them how to cheat and then use them to make sure you don't get your rewards and spend money. That is also the reason they have a log and not a read file of the matches, they don't want you to see how they are cheating you.

**** wotc they dont care about the players and you dumb ***** who keep spending money on arena proves they only care about money bc if you STOPPPPPP SPENDING MONEY ON THEIR TRASH THEY WILL FIX IT DUMB ********

Yes, its time for us to build our own standalone platform again. I remember playing online mtg before arena existed and everything was so much better accept the graphics of course.

HEY FK TARD DEVELOPERS YOU ARE POS. STOP RIGGING YOUR GOD FAM GAME U CHEATING FKS CORRUPT *** NIGS

Game is rigged. I play a mill deck and the only decks I play against have 200+ cards in them and they always have perfect draw.

My last game was against a 200+ card deck using flashback and graveyard recursion.

In brawl, it's always the same commanders. I can't even use Sheoldred as my commander regardless that I don't use some netdeck because I get placed against people with netdecks and broken commanders.
