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.

Anyone else notice that when we get near ranking up you suddenly can't draw lands worth ****. Even after mulligans you start with 2 lands and you won't draw another one. **** these developers. Not even hiding the fact that this game is absolutely rigged.

I have to agree here, I play a lot of red decks with at most 22 lands and find myself very often drawing 5-6+ lands in my first 12- 15 cards. I also feel that I'm very often running into the exact same answers from opponents on the same turns. An example of this would be when playing against a deck with the Wandering Emperor. I'd say at least 90% of the time when I see one there is a second copy coming down the next turn. I've discussed this with a friend who plays who runs into the same issues. I'd rather have no fixing and have a couple of games of getting land screwed than dealing with what's going on now.
Side note: It would be great if all players got access to the rare dual lands instead of not being able to craft multi-color decks without seriously grinding or dropping a decent amount of cash. You might feel that this would cut into your profits a bit but I'd be more likely to spend money if I didn't feel like you were making every attempt to grab it.

Bug cards are dealt in order. No shuffling. Not random. All black lands and then blue cards or vice versa. All 9f the time. It is becoming ridiculous. How stupid is your programmer?

GAME CHEATS. YOU CAN TELL THEY PAIR YOU WITH DECKS THAT CAN EASILY BEAT YOURS. USE BOTS SO YOU GET FIRST TURN 20%, OR LESS OF THE TIME! THEY WANT YOUR MONEY AND THIS GAME UTILIZES DECPTIVE TACTICS TO CHEAT YOU! MY SUGGESTION IS TO PLAY FOR FREE AND REPORT BUGS IN YOUR MONEY/DIAMOND SPENT GAME 100% OF THE TIME AND HAVE OTHER ACCOUNTS IF THEY BAN YOUR ACCOUNT. 100% NOT A LEGIT RANDOMIZED GAME. SAD SACK OF GREEDY ACTIVISION COMPANY!

I dont understand if you've set it up so that if it takes too long it ignores rank or what but
you absolutely need to fix matchmaking to be even or I wont spend another dime. i'll just use
gold for everything. People playing straight mythic rare decks that are top tier taking all the gems in every mode isnt fun for anyone else and they dont spend money because they dont have to. -

After a match is over, please show me the sequence of cards in my library. If the sequence is truly random in all matches, there should be no problem showing me the sequence at the end of matches.

Each weekend i collect 10000 gold to do a premier draft or something like it. Almost always i get more lands to play then spells. Which results in a terrible gaming experience and 3 losses in a row. Two weekends after eachother with sometimes playing 75% land en 25% spells is a testimony of a broken shuffler. On FNM my results are most of the time top 3. Arena does not even remotely resambles the fun honoust experience of real life. Refund of gold or crystals requested.

I am tired of it. I am tire of the cheaters. I am tired of having a 40 percent chance to draw cards and always ending up with two lands on turn 6. I am tired of the fact that you never personally contact me and only send bots. I am tired of the algo that I can predict with 100 certainty who is going to win the game by turn 3. What a waste. The story of Prometheus is a great allegory for this game and its developers.

I hope if I insult the devs and use enough naughty words those ******* retards will be forced to read at least one ******* post for once. Well, not that they have any reading comprehension, habsro just wanted some dumb ***** to press the big buttons between sessions drinking down *****.

you know, i bet the only people who actually have fun games are those rancid apologists on reddit that swear up and down that 'no no, 100 times going second in a row is just statistics, you just don't count when you go first' and all those lazy, half assed excuses to justify why this game isn't smegma licking dogshit. They must have whaled hard enough to get the real mastery pass, or just whored themselves out to the ***** devs still slurping hasbro **** without pause.

Rynkar#98080 commented
it's not a bad algorithm, it's just rigged. File a complaint after 30 games of going second against the most broken, unfair, unlikely, impossible draws and hands your opponents have and win with in less than 3 turns, a bot will instantly reply with NO IT'S NOT RIGGED, WORKING AS INTENDED as the dev's slurp hasbro **** and gulp down *** by the bucket. No management of the game, no balancing, no addressing the endless amount of very vocal complaining from the majorities, nothing. Useless, *******. No one is doing their job. No one.

This mana flooding is ridiculous. It’s been posted here for months now and never gets addressed. Here’s an example and I’ll be posting EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE OF THIS UNTIL IT IS FIXED.

I noticed I was rarely ever on the play in the vast majority of ranked historic best of one games I played. One day I played 10 games in a row and was on the draw every single time. How is this possible if it’s supposed to be a 50/50 chance to be on the play or on the draw? I’m starting to think people are hacking the game to give themselves an advantage with the algorithm. Has anybody else experienced something similar?
