I have experienced this on three separate occasions in the past week when I try to play my friend on mtga. And just recently last night I was unable to play my husband in a friendly match. It needs to be fixed. This is actually ridiculous that I can’t play against friends. I want to be able to show my friends decks I make. It is just disappointing. I thought this was a better platform. This makes me not want to play it and definitely not recommend it to other people.

==== workaround, at least on Windows PCs ====
Update on my previous post:
Challenging a friend from the friends list has a 100% chance to hit this issue. While doing a direct match (via the crossed swords ⚔️ icon) allows us to play versus each other.
In our case:
1. Both players must configure the ⚔️ menu the same way, same settings
2. Then insert each others nickname#number
3. Pick a deck and challenge each other almost at the same time.This method allowed me and my friend to reliably play 5 matches in a row.
But the issue is still there and should be fixed!!!

Unable to submit deck it's a daily issue I face with the game I try to play the game with my friends and it 9/10 times refuses to let me play the game it's supported and owned by the best company ever why is this game experiencing issues like this it's ridiculous

There's already a ton of posts about this but I want to make a new one so we can fix this. Ever since one of the latest patches I'm now getting unable to submit deck when playing with a friend. Plying with randoms is fine but this needs to be fixed. With the amount of people reporting this issue i'm not sure how this isn't fixed yet.

This has become very upsetting for me and my partner who only play arena together anymore. It means a lot to us to be able to play together and recently that has been entirely impossible. Can we get some kind of acknowledgement or comment on how this issue is being addressed?

Me and my partner are huge fans of MtG and have been for some time. We have other friends we can't meet with physically so started getting into Arena so we could play with friends.
For some reason, one of the core game experiences is majorly broken! We frequently find one side of a friend or direct challenge are "Unable to submit deck" and nothing we do fixes it.
I'm doubly ****** because apparently this has been a consistent problem for MORE THAN 2 YEARS! I stupidly spent money for the battle pass, expecting the basic parts of the game to function.
I only hope, for the sake of the countless people I've seen complaining about the same bug, that you are all close to a fix for this. Failing that I would be interesting in getting a refund for money spent on a broken game whose devs appears to have little to no interest in actually fixing it.

This is reproducible 95% of the time I use direct play at this point. Happy to work with the development team to provide testing and error logs related to the problem. I've uploaded some previously but could certainly upload logs from "both sides" of the direct play (since one person typically gets "unable to submit deck" while the other does not, and occasionally it flips to the other person getting that error while the other does not).
I could reproduce and provide as many logs as needed it's so easy to reproduce... please feel free to reach out in this thread or via email. Critical urgency for everyone that wants to play with friends and hasn't been able to do this since the new set release...

My friend experienced this multiple times this morning, both challenging and being challenged, on the desktop and also on the android client. Attaching my log in case it contains the viewpoint of the player trying to connect to the person with the bug contains any useful information. This log should contain one successful challenge followed by 4-5 failures. Every time this miserable experience happens it makes me want to play Magic less and less.

This morning I had one successful direct challenge and then the next had "waiting for server" and then "unable to submit deck." Infuriating.

the issue involving invalid deck submission with friends has literallly ruined this game and magic (both physical and arena) for me. fix your game. ive loved magic for years and my favorite part of arena is playing with friends that i cannot get up and meet with. this is a on-going issue and its so sad to see you don't care in the slighest. will be holding off on all magic until some care towards fans is shown.

Day one of upvoting every single one of these related threads until WOTC deals with this incredibly annoying issue. It's been going on for at least 2 months now, and doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason as to who it effects and when. This has made our Arena playgroup extremely frustrated, and we'd all hoped the Ixalan release patch would fix it. Time to get this some more attention.

I've tried multiple decks and challenge variations to play a round with different friends. I keep getting network errors. I've tried the troubleshooting methods with no success. Playing on an android Samsung s10. App Version 2023.31.10.2219

Same issue. Used to be an occasional frustration but it seems like it's gotten more consistent. Haven't been able to play with friends for days. Log attached.

Zefren#42673 commented
Same thing here:
1. challenge a friend
2. either my request times out after 60 seconds with the "Unable to submit deck" message, or theirs.
See latest log attached.I haven't seen any comment from the WotC on the subject..
I genuinely regret having spent money on this game when they don't even care enough to reply to upvoted issues. -

Unable to submit decks for friendly brawl. I can use a deck to battle an online opponent, but when I select same deck for friendly brawl it says the deck is invalid

Screamed into the dark night sky /s
Sacrificed a first born /s
And yet, I still can't play with my buddies anymore.
