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.

Shuffling AI update PLEASE! Seems that everyone else who has the same numbers of cards in their deck as mine gets all the perfect cards everytime. I go round after round and either get all lands for numerous turns or NO lands at all. Either isnt helpful and doesnt make gameplay enjoyable. You push for people to play and want to play this game, but this needs to be FIXED.

Gus#41770 commented
When playing Premier MOM Draft, starting on 4/22, all my mulligan attempts lead to drawing the exact same set of 7 cards, except now having to keep 6. I would like to be compensated for 2 game losses due to this bug.

Dmack665#71970 commented
its obvious that the shuffler is nerfed to protect your BS 60 card dream when its no different to have 2 of each card up to 60 as it would to have 4 of each at 120 its obvious your programmers or think tanks are stumped to the point that they somewhere down the line said the **** with it and Nerfed the shuffler to protect the smaller decks . in real life we all know we would use more cards if we could afford them hence where the arena has lost the values of MATHMATICS the back bone to the game in real life so ... return math to law it should be level the playing field and break the ranks into DECK SIZE ranks simple you wanna use 60 to 100 one rank 100 to 150, 150 to 250 .... the three seprate demons ... let alone how easy it would be to direct the network traffic that should be completly vmware in my opinion you would be able to divide the players to groups that would make server traffic easier to manage ... lets face it .. it takes longer to load a 150 cards in the deck builder then to load 60... you need to bring the integrity back to this game I can watch the screen and see where your failing ... I can tell you the patterns of your shuffler I can damb near call the card before it hits the field because A: I know everyone of these decks when I see em I throw the stone brain like a **** shoot that never misses and everyone is using someone elses **** so its damb repetitive B: I'm a idoit savant with computers since the commador 64 and the 486DX266 I speak DOS better then english the infastructure will fold eventually if you don virtualize it .. the lags are every where from the search bar to the citazens crowbar which btw nerfed my whole field last week when I tried to use it all of a suddon all my land is gone and I was killing their **** the cards come out so fast your barely able to keep up stop me when ever I can do this all day

I have just lost 15 matches in a row on Arena. This would never happen if I were playing paper Magic. WTF WOTC?!

Poobs7er#99959 commented
This game is obviously rigged, I've not spent any money for over a month (I have all cards from the set) I am lucky to win 1 match because the shuffler is fixing the games. Drawing two lands all game in a 27 land deck (got me to mythic twice when buying gems funny that) this has happened 10 games in a row plus 4 of those games were against the same opponant (mind boggling concidering the large player base world wide). I have recorded these matches and have the stats from when I was buying gems to when I've stopped which is pretty revealing how bad the fixing of matches really is. I know you will not respond to this but if it continues I will enquire with trading standards in regards to this

Adeseus#19846 commented
I want to report a problem not a suggestion. I just had 3 games played in a draft. 40 card deck, 16 lands. I lost all three games and I had 27 lands out of the 45 cards I had in hand or drew, I didn't even get to play the game. How am I going to win when all my play cards are on the bottom of my deck three games in a row. Whats the deal. How do I know I am not being cheated.

silmarilion6#37339 commented
Can you get rid of those long streaks of starting second. This would make Arena a much more balanced experience as being secong for long peroids of time is very frustrating.
-
silmarilion6#37339 commented
I'm starting second in way to many of my games in play mode. I'm sick of those very long peroids of being second. This is making the game almost unplayable and very misrable .fix this please.

Allewri#52288 commented
I've been specifically drafting using 15 lands in a 40 card decks. I've drawn +7-8 lands in the top 15 cards in the majority of games. This is a pattern and Wizards is either blind or it's intentional.

I'm quitting this rigged county fair sideshow game.
This game is ruined now.
Wish you all the best.
Ill play MTGO before they ruin that as well. -
Burndownrentonoffice#67903 commented
Yeah this is ridiculous MTGAISASCAM.Same **** with me but not a team member.I'm probably going to quit for good.It's everyday all the time almost and they don't care.
I get those hands myself too but it's wrong and not fun to "cheat" like that.
So very rarely would you get close to hand like that but it happens all the time now.
Clumps after clumps. -
MTGAISASCAM#91694 commented
Played a team member and they had 2 ornithopters and 2 retrofits first play.Same cards second game.REALLY?
Dubs of 2 of the main cards in that engine twice in a row.
Just a normal day on Arena nothing unusual here -
MTGAISASCAM#91694 commented
Well they deleted my last post so here it is again.
To all the new people this game has a manipulated shuffler/server which manicures your hand.
It is predictable with extremities of patterns and as it is a pile shuffler it will give clumps of pairs and usually the same cards game after game.
You will notice starting how mana is on one side from the other cards instead of showing the natural order from the initial draw like MTGO does because that shuffler works properly in most regards and most assuredly you will mulligan almost every game because of the swings between said extreme looping patterns.It is slow because of all the animations and the app is not any better than any mobile out there trying to hustle someone with the Hook Habit Hobby tactic.
Ultimately if you know how to play already this game will be a major disappointment.
Hasholes of the Coast don't care about keeping customers just tricking the wave of new ones until they are properly milked.
There's people posting about vandalizing their office but they'll delete this post instead which shows you this is 100% a kill shot to the head they can't refute. -

Chi-Ang#08915 commented
I had several 1 cost white buff spells in hand and no spells or abilities that used black mana in hand or in play, 3 plains and one swamp in play. When casting my 2 cost {w}{1} spell it auto tapped 2 white mana for some ungodly reason. Which meant I could not kill the creature I was blocking which resulted in me losing the game.
Why would the auto tapper keep the black mana open when I had no use for it. Incredibly frustrating as this resulted in my third loss in the draft. I will no longer ever use the auto tapper as I can see no logical reason why it would ever tap in this way.

Would be nice to draw land while my opponent can draw what ever the f*ck he wants…………. Your draw system is still not up to the “par” you say it is🙄🙄🙄

Urzas#12984 commented
Do yourself a favor and uninstall the game now. WotC doesn't care about their player base. I've faithfully played MTG in one form or another for 30 years and they have never listened to their player base. Look at the **** they pulled on the D&D community and the MTG 30th anniversary con they tried to pull. $1000 for 6 packs of proxy cards that are not even playable in sanctioned tournaments. I did and I will never give them money again. **** WotC and **** Hasbro!

Panic#40580 commented
Like the game, the people who made it. is soulless and without integrity. The way they COMPLETELY ignore over 20 pages of ****** off costumers (and that's just the ones stepping forward) just shows what kind of "people" is running this shitshow. How they have dodged prison time or ANY kind of legal actions towards them is beyond me. Thieves and cowards, hiding behind a company front. Well in a postive light, they really do make blizzard and activision look good compared.

Furlo#46458 commented
In my last premier draft event, I played against 4 high-ranked opponents (1 gold, 2 Platinum, 1 diamond!!!) one after the other in different days of the week..while I am currently bronze-ranked! I hardly think there were no other bronze-ranked players to play against. It would be nice to improve the assignments system, especially in events where I have to "pay" every time 10000 gold coins to enter.

Gotabeer#13943 commented
I just started playing again after 28 years and was surprised WOTC still has not fix MTG's fundamental flaw which significantly reduces the skill in this game. Too many games are decided by whether you get the proper number of lands and mulligans don't solve the issue. Its a simple fix. Just split the 60 card deck into two decks. One deck is land, the other is spells. Player chooses which deck they want to draw a card from. Nothing really changes in the game except you now have a more skill based game which will drive higher numbers of people to play and spend money. For as long as this game has been around, you should have much higher tournament cash prizes and publicity, but due to the amount of luck you allow in the game you will never achieve multi-million dollar tournaments. Get rid of the luck and people will pour large amounts of money into the game to compete. You are hurting yourself and the game by allowing a poor land/mana system to plague this game.
