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.

Yes it is utter garbage. I love running into alchemy all the time when I'm playing historic brawl. There is no reason I should see this digital only garbage if I wanted to play it I would go play in the alchemy area. So I conced now to 80% of my games not just because of alchemy and special garbage but the unfair match ups. If I make a deck sometimes I'm stuck in a loop of maybe 8 decks most toxic garbage really boring so I have to switch decks to play a variety. And I play at all times during the day same issues and I'll play 30 or concede games at least at a pop multiple times a day. So it's easy to see this boring algorithm that they have set up. I have a 100 decks and I basically know what decks I will play when I play a certain deck (yawn). When there are so many interesting deck match ups that are not happening even though those commanders are playing during the same time frame. Then on top of it you can see there algorithms pushing certain cards they'll be in almost every opening hand. It poisins the game and is disgusting. No real game when there is no real randomness to a hand. When your seeing the same hands time after time after time. I usually end up in the 3000's for games played each set so I do have some numbers to go by for watching hands.

Make the game fun! I would like to play the cards I put in my deck. I get 1 or 2 lands and don't see more then that for draws and draws. This game is not fun. It's a game of being a practice dummy for the people that continue to drop lots of money on the game. I won't spend any more cash on this game or play it any more if this continues. I hear marvel snap is much better you get to participate in the game. That might be fun. It's a game, people tend to play those to enjoy themselves.

Fix the shuffler. If a deck is 40% land the overwhelming majority of the time you should see more than 3 lands i the the first 15 cards. And a one land opening hand should be extreme anomaly. Yet both of these highly unprobable situations occurred multiple times while playing Bo3 standard. My experience today has been that it is less likely that a game will follow the expected laws of probability than for the most extreme outliers to occur. Coding a reasonable randomizer is something highschool kids get taught in basic computer science class. You can do better. Please fix the shuffler.

I'm tired of getting land screwed 3 out of 4 games I play. I've been playing magic since '95. I know how to build with proper land to spell ratio. Fix this ****!

Wizards, please advise how your AI bot works, this is BS, how can i roll the AI and then when its about to lose i draw like 5 lands in a row while it gets the cards needed to kill me while its clinging to life, this algorithm is sus as **** and makes me want to steer away from this pile of dung.

How is it possible that I draw 12 lands (almost all in a row as only 4 non lands were in my opening hand) and 5 non lands (4 in the opening hand) the entire game and then the next game I draw low to no lands in my opening hand between mulligans of 1 land or 5 lands...this happens consistently when I play draft and get to 3 or more wins

It would be great if the matchmaking process could be refined to be more equitable for free players. It's not fun at all to play and get stomped on 12 games in a row. I have no idea about other f2p people, but im lucky if I win 1 in 5 games. Right now, grim grind is a very accurate way to describe the mtga experience, and even unranked matches feel incredibly tilted.

Too many times running into decks that have perfect hands with just the right card for just the right situation. I've stopped putting money into this game and considering I on average spent $100 a month or more I'll use it to buy cardboard or some other pasttime. Totally ludicrous

Hi wondered what peoples thoughts are on the smoothing regarding land type and colour.
I'm running legendary basics dual and tri lands and the mulligan very often draws all the basics, all the legendary or all the dual etc Legendry's. I only have 4 out 27Legendarys and basics I have 5 out 27. Also I often only get certain colours despite having over 50% of each colour. let me know -

I have been testing the limits of your shuffler, and my findings are either you guys really have no clue what you are doing or you are modifying win rates. I built a deck to specifically get mana flooded ( 54 lands in an 81 card deck ) statistically it should be impossible to get mana starved, but every 2 wins in a row I get mana starved. If this is not intentional then you really need to fix the problem, if this is intentional then you guys are going to be the final nail in MTG's coffin.

Since my original ticket was apparently deleted without a response, I am asking my question again. Since you allow hand smoothing which is an exploit , I have found a few other exploits in your shuffler since you brought in hand smoothing. Reading the Terms of service it appears that I am not breaking any rules if I use these exploits as I am not introducing anything into the game, Anyone else could potentially use these same exploits as they are part of your programing, I am not using any 3rd party software to access these exploits. So again I ask what is the ruling on using said exploits ( there are quite a few ).

Well, what are the odds that 100% of the time (yeah, I've made the statistics) I am paired to fight someone who happens to have the EXACT deck to counter every single atom of breath I take? Different guys, EXACTLY the same counter deck and moves?! 100% of the time? We are talking about more than fifty losses in a row. And by God the Almighty, I have bult a deck that in REAL MTG games could give me a nice fighting condition. It is CLEAR AS THE SUN that this game is rigged to give unfair advantage to PAY TO WIN or CHEAT players. Zero doubt about. Which is so sad, since MAGIC is a incredible game, but this MTG Arena app? It sucks across the omniverse. Dispite all that we still have the insane amount of CRASHING, cellphone or pc.

Two years I've used their product for free and will continue to take up resources on their servers for free. The poorly implemented algorithmic mess this game is keeps me from even thinking about spending anything on it.

It is clear that the game decide who has to win before it even start. I even mulligan twice and the result was that i ended have 3 lands the whole game (also wrong colors) while my opponent had 11! Disgusting to say the less. Please notice that i would not come here to complain if this would have been something happening sometimes, the bitter truth is that is happening at least 80% of the time while i am playing ranked . This is shameful Wizards, when will you listen to the community? We are complaining about this since years now! If you google it there are even studies about it that prove that the shuffler is rigged.

Well they can deny all they want it is clear this game is rigged similar to how ea does it with dynamic difficulty adjustment (DDA). They are doing so poorly that the parent company had to lay off 1.1 k just before Christmas. They continue to ruin the glorious game of mtg in paper as well as online. Those moderators who read this post shame on you. You are a poor representative of gamers out there. Your bosses are filth. All the way to the top. Stop rigging games. Look at how it turned out with EA. They are hated world wide. Your model is unsustainable.

I am Bronze. Tier 2. I am continually matches against Gold, Platinum & Mythic Players and am routinely pubstomped. I want to know why your match maker is so Broken it won't even match me against people of a similar rank in the past couple of months. This hardly feels fair.
