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.

Sindrelari#41376 commented
Totally agree. I remember now the reason I left this game. The terrible matchmaking system especially for brawl to push people to buy the best cards possible through packs. The unfun system for it. The fact they reward you for games played rather than time played. Game is hot ****.

LePorgus#05349 commented
Ok so i decide to post because i couldn't see this ****** game anymore... The rng and algo are so bad what the **** arena's developers ??? I just loose a game because you're rng doesn't give me a single land during 6 draw... How it can be possible. 2 lands in my starting hand and after that none. Do you need i teach you guys how to build a real rng system ?

Gradius9989#54610 commented
******** CHEATING WOTC MOTHER *******. Suddenly ALL MY MATCHES I LOSE 18 in a ******* row. I HOPE UR BUILDING AND ALL UR BS BURNS TO THE ******* GROUND. You are bastards that allow constant cheating with rigged matchmaking and an algorithm made into dog ****. FLOOD OR NO LAND ITS ONLY THAT OR PLAY THE SAME ******* OCELOT DECK OR PHLAGE ********

How the **** do I draw 11 LANDS out of 16 cards!? I only have 25 in the deck! I even played an Insatiable Avarice on myself hoping to draw something playable. Guess what I drew? 3 more ******* lands! Your game is as **** as your Companion app. Here are the screenshots to show my handful of lands.

shuffle the packs so you don't hit a massive group of lands pulling 13 out of 22 lands twice in less than 2 hrs... who the **** turns up to a magic tournament puts 2 lands on top then a big cluster of about 10 lands in the middle of the pack its ridiculous.. just shuffle the lands into the pack evenly other wise your online game is irritating ****** to say the least

Azhor#86821 commented
rng is garbage, land stuck with 27 lands, opponents perfect counters decks, perfect draws and hands, rng is garbage.
Do not put money in that garbage game :) -
Xunjra Dalael#15975 commented
EVERY single time I use land tax the very next card in my draw is another land. Not 1or2 times out of 10 not 5 times out of 10; 20 times out of 20 times I have used land tax the very next card I draw is another land.
I really think you need to take a serious look at your shuffling algorithm. I mean I only have 2 of each of these 2 cards in my deck with 16 plains, and back to back games I got all four of these 2 cards and only one plain.

I've been playing on arena since 2021, and I haven't spent a dime due to the algorithmic manipulations. Remove deck strength matchmaking and hand smoother and I'd happily spend money on this game. Until then I won't spend a penny.
Every win and loss is made meaningless knowing that behind the scenes your shoddily implemented algorithms are manipulating everything, and it makes paid entry events even less fun. So why would I invest money?

Fblthp#09679 commented
Why do I know more about this game than the Arena developers????? They are supposed to be experts at programming, but they don't program interactions correctly. PRIORITY is a fundamental part of gameplay and influences strategic decisions. My opponent was playing goblins and had a Legion Warboss on the battlefield then tapped out for Goblin Ringleader. I let the triggered ability of the Ringleader resolve, and I intended to destroy the Warboss BEFORE COMBAT WHEN MY OPPONENT PASSES PRIORITY, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED PRIORITY, AND THE GAME WENT DIRECTLY INTO COMBAT! Hey, devs, this is how it's supposed to work: every time a spell is cast, and Every time an ability is put onto the stack, players can choose to pass priority or retain priority. Once both players pass priority on an empty stack, the game automatically passes to the next step or phase. Before passing into the next step or phase, the active player must PASS PRIORITY. The game never passed priority to me before moving to combat. It only passed priority to me when my opponent tapped out for the Ringleader. Guess what??? That's NOT how Magic operates!!! FIX YOUR GAME!!! But I know you won't because there are complaints about Brisela not allowing X spells FROM OVER A YEAR AGO!!! DID YOU FIX BRISELA YET??? NOPE! EVEN THOUGH YOU PUT BRISELA IN THE DAILY DEALS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, YOU STILL DIDN'T FIX THE GAMEPLAY!!! FIX YOUR GAME!!!

TooLateBlue#23053 commented
This game is the most rigged pile of garbage available on the internet. Ranked is nothing but a series of gatekeeping hurdles you're only allowed to pass after you've sunk enough time into the process and fed losses into the ecosystem. The matchmaker is 100% rigged, the shuffler is beyond suspect, and this company has zero credibility. There is no point in playing ranked and God help you if you're crazy enough to pay for this experience.
