Algorithm Improvement
I'm sure you're getting a lot of complaints about how one-sided your algorithm is not being impartial and often times screwing over players with land draws that should not be happening in a purely random sample - so my complaint can be added to that pile.
But, an idea for changing the algorithm to improve randomization would be having the program assign a number to each card remaining in a deck and pile shuffling the cards into X amount of piles (let's say 6). It can repeat this process Y amount of times then take the middle of the pile and put those cards on top. A better template would be from the card shuffler for poker sets from stores.

dennisrv#98152 commented
not random at all , you either get a free win or a free loss and its dictated by how much money you spend on a game that is supposedly free to play , how convenient having online magic rigged so that you have to play paper magic not to get 10+ lands in 15 cards or 3 lands in 15 with the same deck and the same amount of lands on it, 80% of the games are either ***** or flood for either player how is this math or shuffler working ? and why this cant be reproduced in paper magic if the game is supposed to be the reproduction of it? not fun at all to play rigged matches one after the other win or loss

FireSnake#98781 commented
To elaborate on the obvious frustration, the shuffle algorithm has been a problem for the entirety of mtga's existance and it's been reported as a problem for the entirety of it's existance. The sheer unwillingness to fix a problem with one if not THE most fundamental system of a TCG is unforgivable.

FireSnake#98781 commented
Everyone playing the game knows that the shuffling algorithm is fundamentally flawed. And i don't know how exactly it currently works thus i can't really state precise sggestions on how to fix it but fact of the matter is that i lose a disproportional number of games to that piece of **** algorithm. I kept track over the recent few days and it was ~9/10 games that were lost to mana flooding or mana ***** and about 7/10 wins were because the opponent seemed to have the same issue. So in most games my ability to play the game isn't even tested. there's always luck involved in TCG's but that is fcking ********. There's 2 options, either make the algorithm true random, which does not represent the real shuffling but is fair. Or figure out a better way to skew the odds compared to whatever you are doin right now. Moreover it is plain as day that the odds for certain cards are being skewed considering the lack of mulligans certain archtypes need for a perfect opener which can't be justified by statistics, in other words you are clearly, statisticall undeniably promoting certain archtypes and demoting others, stop with the ********. I don't give a rats *** what you think people want to play, you're wrong. You have no idea about deckbuiilding and why we build stuff the way we do that is shown time and time again with the mental jmisssteps of R&D, just give us fun cards and an unbiased shuffling and let us do the work.
In other words true random shuffling or do a thorough analyisis of how a welll shuffeled deck looks like after a de-sorting pile shuffling and a bit of normal shuffling and being cut, aka they way we start of an in person tournament.
As it stands i will definitely never pay money again for a WotC product, not in person either, i'm sick and tired of getting ********* the *** by ****** gamedevs

Kochis1818#88443 commented
Yea im also just about done with this game, i make a deck that gets my to mid diamond but all of a sudden i cant draw any cards I need, losing to decks that shouldnt be a problem, no mana or all mana. Its ridiculous... and ive bought the mastery pass which besides being a waste of money doesnt change my win rate(except seemingly negatively) Also i dont understand how i can have a deck that wins regularly in diamond then after the season i used the same deck in gold and get destroyed 10 times in a row. Im not soending anymore money until something improves.

If I play a green deck I see more green decks… if I play something with red, then it’s nothing but red decks. It is not random, it’s color based.
-
ChardeeMacDenis#27551 commented
There needs to be a better shuffling system. I’m table top games after a match and cards get stacked I would simply 6 way shuffle to fix. In matches here I do get good hands and games at times but I also have many games where i get all 3/4 of a certain card, no land, all land, etc. This happens a lot more often than it ever would on tabletop. It takes away from the experience and the testing of a deck. If I can get a properly shuffled deck I can’t know how well the deck will play in real time. Please work on this.

You can kiss my ***. All I came across in my event was people almost on Diamond tier. You're not getting another single ******* dollar from me you worthless *****. Kiss my $30 a week goodbye, I'm certain the same situation has happened to thousands of people leaving because of your no balance system bs, all to save you a few gems ROFL.

These ***** rig their bs game so u lose every fkn time ur about to win its so bad ive reported them to the better business bureau for unfair business practices and for allowing cheating and gaming that is not random matchmaking but an algorithm that rigs you against opponents who automatically are better then you. Fk you wotc ur trash and ur a biased company

This really might be more of a complaint over ****** deals. But I don't think that I'm playing real people in Draft, nor do I think that my decks are being actually dealt to me properly. I don't spend money on arena very often, especially to buy coins to get into draft. I get to play maybe two drafts a month saving up my coins to 10,000. The past three drafts that I've been in I have gone 1/9. I have not actually played magic when I play Premiere draft, because my opponents deck is either suspiciously good for a draft deck, or I get absolutely mana hosed or just dealt absolute unplayable garbage. Really puts me off from playing draft, saving up 10000 just to get rinsed in 10 minutes. Its not like I'm bad at limited formats either, my decks look good and promising I just never get dealt anything. I'm mythic in constructed and draft in real life every weekend, I don't think my decks are this terrible online.

Adsl#59665 commented
This game is so obviously rigged... I have a mill deck and basically more than half of the matchings "misteriously" have >100 cards in their decks. Also, in ~1/5 of the cases they have Gaea's Blessing. This does not happen with any other decks I am currently using. So this makes me think that something is going on with this game...

Sollarstonne#22156 commented
A few weeks ago I made a criticism about the constant game manipulation for mana issues. There are times when you play 4 or 5 games where you don't come in command at all. But it seems that it didn't solve anything, after my criticism the game seems to have got worse. This is mana problems, with 1 to 3 cost creatures, I don't even want to talk about bugs related to card and spell effects, like destroying indestructible creature with combat damage.

Irukinar#72411 commented
The event shuffler is either rigged against F2P or events are full of hackers. Either way, I can get a reasonable amount of games without massive mana flood/*****, although ti does happen, in BO1 ranked. The SECOND I enter a standard event, *immidiately* get mana screwed and flooded THREE GAMES IN A ROW. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
There's statistics, and then there's likely WOTC ensuring that F2P players lose so that paying players get their moneys worth, which is the likely occurrence in the standard event. Decks that get to diamond shouldn't be going 0/3 for 3 events in a row purely from MANA *****. It's also possible WotC does nothing about hackers, since this is a F2P game and they clearly give 0 !@#s about players.

Akroma#09193 commented
I know that random probability means that sometimes you draw no lands for 6 turns and sometimes you draw 7 lands in a row. But most of times you should get what is more likely. If the fall of a large meteorite had the same probability of drawing 12 lands out of 15 cards, then one meteorite per year would fall to earth. Please don't destroy the earth each year. Please don't destroy the beauty of this game I love
