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.

Sorin, Solemn Visitor#32476 commented
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.

Rynkar#98080 commented
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.

Hendo1983#79457 commented
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?

doormat#86464 commented
how do you guys explain when half my deck is mana and im going against a guy with a 100 card deck he has better mana draw and curve then me
how do i get ****** on mana 1/3 of the games i play when half my deck is mana
how does this guy counter everything i play with a 100 card deck
stop ******* rigging every game you **** tier compay
the second image is the second game after this one
both times i start with 3 lands and by turn 5 i still have 3 lands
every other game is me getting no lands.
i have 27 lands in a 60 card deck how does this happen to me every other game
fix your ******* shuffler -

Your shuffle system stinks, mana screwed or mana flooded....
1 game I drew 7 lands in a row, costing me the game....
last game I only drew black mana, 8th land draw was green, costing me the game.
It's either the shuffle is bugged or your system hinders game play...
I wonder if you will be honest and say which is true! -
CMCR#09820 commented
Shuffler is worst than ever and this game is quickly beckoming idiotic. It really feels like wizards wants to force a new meta by making it impossible to use older strategies even when they would be completely balanced. Every single feedback I give has been negative. Never happened before.

IT IS SO BLATENTLY OBVIOUSLY THAT YOU'VE CONTINUE TO CHEAT AGAINST ME. i HAVE LOGGED EVERYTHING AND TAKEN SCREEN CAPTURES AND WILL POST YOU INTO OBLIVION ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I AM PLAYING THE HIGHEST WINRATE DECK AGAINST INFERIOR DECKS AND THEY ALWAYS DRAW THE RIGHT CARD AND THE LAST 2 TIMES IT SAID "YOU GO FIRST", I WASN'T ABLE TO PLAY FIRST!

fishtrees77#61100 commented
I saw a similar complaint mentioning specifically mono red match making only against other red decks. I built a mono blue delver deck and get paired against mono blue decks for days. The same is true of mono red, mono green, mono black. I just built a mono white control list 3 days ago and I have only been matched against one deck that wasn't mono white and it was a white deck with one off color land on turn 7. Match making should be random, NOT an attempted mirror match every time. It's not enjoyable at all. Fix your product. You saw record profits for years because of Arena.

MTGAのシャッフル,先攻・後攻の確率,対戦相手決定は公平に行われているか?カスタマーサポートに質問しても”アルゴリズムは十分にテストされ、意図通りに機能している”とだけです。この書き方だと,公平性は保っていないことになると考えられます。カスタマーサポートに公平性は保てているか聞いても返答は毎回同じで”アルゴリズムは十分にテストされ、意図通りに機能している”だけ。
Is MTGA's shuffle, first/second strike probability, and opponent decisions fair? If you ask customer support, all you can say is that the algorithm has been well tested and is working as intended. This way of writing would not maintain fairness. When I ask customer support if they are fair, the answer is the same every time: "The algorithm is well tested and works as intended."
