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.

FIX YOUR SERVERS! You wonder why people don't take this app seriously? Constantly waiting for servers and having games freeze. How can I play Ranked when I constantly lose to this and your shuffle algorithms? My opponent kills one of my Weaver of Harmony while attacking and the games loses it's **** mind. His Go for the Throat and my dead Weaver in our graveyards but the game shows I still have two in play and is stuck in the Declare Blocks step. I've also started boycotting the Companion app for store play because of the constant crashes.

Manantial#38380 commented
Stuck in lands again, until the opponent wins. I mulligan about 50% of the games to find something playable, I have a good curve, exaggerated. Draft is a scam, only whales or YouTubers are immune, the latter give publicity. Let's see if they distribute "luck" a little better, a scam in general, too notorious.

Jugando en draft contra un oponente llamado "Callado" en ikoria, no paro de ciclar la baraja para a ver si así me hago con el segundo color y no me sale en 15 robos y llevo hasta terrenos expansivos. El jugador oponente con 3 colores en el campo sin ningún tutor de tierra o fijador, verguenza y basura de rng, juego amañado de mierda.

I played multiple games 10+ with a deck that has 25 lands. after full 10 games I never got more than 4 lands per game. I would usually start with 2 or 3 and end the game with 4 even after 15+ turn games. Frustrated, I switch decks. The new deck has less lands, 22 to be exact and I constantly draw lands sometimes 4 to 5 in a row. Turn the algorithm off it's garbage. Just let the random shuffler do its thing and stop scripting lands based on ratios.

I have spent like 300 dollars on this game this year. My first post and feedback? FIX THIS GOD AWFUL SHUFFLER. HOLY ****. im not spending another dime on you till you FIX YER RIGGED, UNRELIABLE, AND UNPROBABLE SHUFFLER. ****! how ** do i get mana scr*wed 9 games in a row. are you FOR REAL?? and the decks are built PROPERLY with GOOD probability. JESUS CHRIST.

SoulSilhouette#24330 commented
Sry but matchmaking in this game is absolutely horrible and you cannot deny this game does try to frustrate you on purpose to make u spend money. So yesterday i was playing dozens of matches in ranked with all kinds of decks. Everything seemed fine for the most part. Today i made a deck that almost only relies on enchantments and nothing else, guess what? - the next i think 5 matches or so in non-ranked matches with this deck were ALL against decks that counter/specifically target enchantments pretty hard. i understand RNG and you can have bad luck, but sorry 5 times in a row? thats not a random occurence anymore in a game with like unlimited possible deck combinations and cards.
I strongly feels that the decks gets analyzed for what they are good at or what types they use, and then the matchmaking SPECIFICALLY puts you against opponents that are very strong against the archetype you are playing. this is blatantly obvious. also made a milldeck, suddenly got placed against red aggro all the time. is this a joke? sorry but your game is a pile of trash and built upon frustration. ill quit this game for the second time now, because mtg arena is a sad excuse for real magic the gathering.

I stole 8 lands in a row against a Grixis crimes in diamond, garbage game haha, which is also a direct counter to what I play, yesterday I played another deck of artifacts and it was all brotherhoods end, do not spend money on this garbage, they don't deserve it .

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

Shaggyclown#14957 commented
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 ****.

spook1980#44456 commented
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.

Haystack#90070 commented
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.
