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.

The problem with your shuffler is there is no consistency , hand smoothing doesn't fix the problem it has only made it worse. New player are not leaving because of bad opening hands. A bad hand can be overcome with what happens after and you guys are trying to control random , which is self defeating in it's self. Maybe you should go talk to riot games, Their legends of runeterra ccg game has a descent shuffler, is fairly consistent, and has new players joining all the time. If you stop making things such a cash grab, actually play test the new sets before you release them , and stop trying to make a controlled shuffler , Basically focus on the game and not just how much money it is making, you will always have new players and you might even get some old players back.

Welcome to the club guys! You will not believe how many people just complain about this. But WotC is just doing nothing against this. They don´t give a hack, because people are still playing and buying. Quit playing MTGA, that is the only way. But even they are set because everyone who quits MTGA and love MTG, will start to play the tabletop game, easy like this ;) :)
BTW thanks WotC for this great community work all these years, NOT!

Already posting about it but posting again! Its crazy! I just had a game where I did not draw a land in 8 turns! 60 card deck 24 lands. It needs to be fixed. At least acknowledge theres a problem.

Are you guys "modifying " win rates? Ever since hand smoothing came in I have noticed a very alarming trend. Everytime I get 2 wins , the shuffler starves me for land and fills my hand with the biggest cmc cards in my deck. I would say it's just a bad game but it happens almost everytime I hit 2 wins in a row. I know match making is supposed to place you against decks that counter yours when you start winning a lot but most of my decks are nothing like the meta decks. And the odds of a hand being dealt like that are well over 100, 000 to 1 so happening almost every day is a little ridiculous as my deck has way more land then it should and the average cmc is 2-3 , so getting mana starved and ending up with the only 5 cards in my deck that are 5+ in an 80 card deck is pretty far fetched. And the other thing is are you going to offer a format for those of us who do not want hand smoothing but don't really have the time to play Bo3, or are we just supposed to move on because you can't/won't provide us with something ?

Fix the shuffler
12 losses in a row to getting colour screwed mana screwed or flooded is a joke
While my opponents have perfect draws so are the games predetermined
This needs sorting as paper magic which I play competitively is nothing like this when really it should be the perfect mirror and good for testing whereas right now it's a joke and not worth the time and money -

WotC, you need to work on your randomizer. There are literally statisical impossibilities happening with your shuffling. Consistent mana flooding or mana ***** or drawing all 4 copies of a card in a opening hand. Nearly statisically impossible.

I think that it also has something to do with the "did you have fun" that you are occasionally asked about at the end of the game. I've started to suspect that it serves several purposes, most important in this conversation being: "You were just exposed to certain potentially OP combo types that your opponent was running. Tell me how you feel. And remember, this is for posterity, so please be honest."
Basically I was running decks with a lot of life gain and I started going up against mill far too frequently. After I saw an opponent use Gaea's Blessing, I spent a wild on one copy and added it to 90% of my decks, including ones that had no way to cast it. The result? I no longer encounter mill. I have only had the chance to use it once and it resulted in my opponent instant quitting. I'm sure that he was given the "did you have fun" talk, told the algorithm that he didn't and now he will almost never go up against any Gaea's Blessing decks unless it has decided that he has hit some kind of magic glass ceiling.
I think that one of the features of the stilted matchmaking is too keep people rage quitting the entire game down to a minimum. It's the other side of the "spend money on upgrades" coin. If people give up on Arena then they spend their money elsewhere.
