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.

I am running a 15 land deck and with 17 cards left and then in the last game with 19 cards left, I have managed to draw every single one of them. I find that physically and statistically impossible coming from a math degree in college and this is not the first nor the second time it happened, then again statistically impossible so again, please stop

5+ drafts done in the last few days. Out of 20 games I was mana screwed or flooded for 18. This isn’t variance or random. When I mulligan multiple times and see similar hands over and over, it isn’t random. There is evidence showing your shuffler is inadequate. People spend money on this game and are not receiving the product that is expected to simulate real life play.
Fix your issues before people start seeing if government regulations should be applied to something like Arena. They’re already looking at loot boxes.

I quite your game for 2 years and then came back after hearing that you had added a game mode other then historic where you could play unnerfed digital only ******** and you still have not fixed your awful shuffler or your awful matchmaking. I'm uninstalling again as you obviously don't give a ****.

whenever i play my mesmeric orb deck I get paired up with 250 card decks, I Don't want to play against people who cant build decks, this leads to a lot of non-games due to me conceding as I want to play decent games not a bunch of people who cant play. and your hand smoother in BO1 play makes it impossible to test out new decks for ranked play as they do not play the same way in play as they do in ranked. this has caused me to not play ranked at all! and due to this, and is making me want to spend less and less money on this game.

I know y'all think it's a joke, but it's really not lost on anyone when the app does the same thing EVERY SINGLE TIME something happens. I made a joke last week about Hideaway 5 being a mechanic where Arena only shows you land and ramp spells. Well here we are a week later, and my Kellen the Kid deck with all the hideaway cards, hit 37 lands in ten attempts. 7 ramp cards, 3 board wipes 2 x spells and one I would call a hit. It's not like I'm only looking for wins. The problem is I noticed a pattern last week, and at EVERY SINGLE AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITY I PRESENTED ARENA, that pattern held true. This has been happening since beta. It's ******* OFFENSIVE.

I have played hundreds and hundreds of games of magic. I am talking about the limited experience here like draft. I love drafting, but I am loosing interest in the game because over 90% of every game is decided by one player getting either mana flooded or mana drained. The interesting games, where both players can play out their decks are barely happening. It's just boring. Please add more options to gain the right cards faster, we want to play a game, we both want to see our deck and show our skill. Instead we get to watch something boring where we have nothing to do.

FIX LAND BUG IN LIMITED
3 matchs in a row i had:
16 lands drawn on 17 played, 21 cards remaining in the deck
15 lands drawn on 17 played, 19 cards remaining in the deck
4 land drawn on 17 played, 18 cards ramaining in the deckis this right for you? is this even possible?
i play since i was 4 years old, born in 1993, never happened in paper in 25 years of playing. This is a shame for this game.
Wasted time and money. -

Unfortunately, wotc will ignore you even with evidence because they believe their shuffler is "perfect."

vous pouvez m'expliquez ce qu'il y a d'amusant de piocher 12 land sur une pioche de 15 cartes ? en jouant 21 land sur 60 dans le deck.
Pareil lorsque je pioche 0 land sur les 7 première cartes dans un deck qui en comporte 24 ?
A quelle moment vous allez vous rendre compte que c'est purement injouable ? et que les 3/4 des frustrations de magic viennent d'une RNG de merde principalement sur la pioche de land...
De plus en passant au format numériques vous avez garder le concept TOXIC des biland rare... donc pour les nouveaux joueurs c'est une main est une pioche de merde allié a des terrains qui arrivent engagé... Si votre afflux de nouveaux joueurs n'a jamais réellement progresser , je vous conseil de re réfléchir ce sujet... -

How do I record the log of particular games that I play? I am finding that in 40-50% of games I am drawing 10 of my 16 (usual land numbers) within the 1st 20 cards of a 40 card deck; inevitably you lose in these situations so I am getting pretty salty about it but know that Wizards won't pay any attention unless I start gathering some evidence

I agree with most of the displeased comments in this thread. Don’t have to say much anymore.

About 25 years playing real magic and 6 years playing magic arena, in arena they still haven't fixed the **** algorithm to steal lands, either you never steal or you steal all of them, always the same with the game, until when, one spends money on it I play and very rarely what happens to me in real magic happens to me in arena.

Just checking in again to remind you your shuffle algorithm is ***. But what do you care. The only time you listen is when you tried to change the open game license agreement like the greedy bastards you are. You could at the very least give us an option to just turn it off but noooooo. Thank god for cockatrice.

If MTGA admits to adjusting win rate and a manipulating card draws, is this consider a rigged game?
AI: Answer
If a game developer explicitly admits to adjusting win rates and manipulating card draws in a competitive game like MTGA, it would generally be considered a form of rigging or unfair manipulation. The integrity of competitive games relies on a level playing field and genuine outcomes determined by player skill and strategy.
Adjusting win rates and manipulating card draws can undermine the fairness of the game and compromise the competitive integrity. Players expect that their success or failure in the game is primarily based on their own abilities and decisions, rather than external factors controlled by the game developer.
So legally I would like to know where in the TOS they have the protections, also I will contribute 5000 to a civil suit versus WOTC. Match fixing, rigged competitions, Illegal. -

It's not normal for opponents to always have such perfect rng, perfect hands, perfect steals and do their combos (some really jank) perfectly so regularly.
I have a horrendous rng and my rivals have the best rng in the world in which absolutely everything works for them. Many games I win are simply because they give up, I barely have any opportunities.
It happens too regularly, it can't be or exist that bad luck, there is something else.
This game or my account is really rigged. The game is a scam. -

3 more games, 3 more on the draw, that's now 13 out of 14 games

On the draw 10 out of 11 games, not possible if it were random, has to be a bug. Magic is hard enough with actual randomness. When the client creates more against a deck it makes people quit.
