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.

I’m quitting around 60% off the games because I stacked on 2 / 3 lands (opening hand) for 5+ rounds. I’m talking about decks that contain 26 - 28 lands. Extremely annoying. From the other hand, situation when I’m drawing 10+ lands in a row is also common.

I have to agree. There is no fun in playing anymore. The game seems completely broken. They didn't play test any of this well and it will be the last time I hand this game any cash.

They enjoy hearing the match with big wins once in a while? By hearing that, they uses magic to cheat the bias in other matches with several times.
Really, there's a high probability that I want to shuffle before I draw first.

First off **** Wizards for making it this difficult to contact support.
Fix your ******** matchmaking! WTF is this ****? If I play any deck that isn't competitive I get matched with decks I can't possibly beat. If I play my best decks I get matched against decks that are on the same level as my non-competitive decks. I would say (conservatively) 1 in 10 games seem like it was a "fair" game. The rest I'm either stomping *** or getting stomped. And I'm only talking about the "play" modes not the "ranked" modes, so this really shouldn't happen...
So again, WTF are you doing over there? Do you want arena to be a huge steaming pile of ****? FIX the ******* shuffle algorithm and FIX the game's matchmaker, because however they're implemented now is honestly ******* pathetic.
P.S. If you can't get those simple things working properly why don't go work for Elon at twitter. That way you can work for someone who understands as much about coding as you do.
TL;DR: Fix matchmaking and the "shuffle" algorithm or go ahead and KYS fuckheads. Thank you, and have a great day!

Coding The Barbarian#96933 commented
When playing a direct game the randomiser that shuffles the cards is broken. It either gives 12 lands in a row or 2 lands to start and then nothing. This doesn't occur when playing random people or the bot and only occurs when playing directly with another known player.

The draws are not random, it is failed algorithmic draws that don't allow unconventional strategies

MichiganMan94#95770 commented
Fix your algorithm for the deck shuffler. In 100% of my games, I should not be unable to play because I get to much land or not enough. Getting three lands in 10 cards should not be nearly impossible. When that doesn't happen, I get flooded with lands.

BrunoMGG#88507 commented
i was about to report the same problem. i started play arena since in my town there's not many people who plays the real game card.
I introduced MTG to my brother and we both having the same problem.
this is bad programing in the random of the cards that you draw.
this post is from 7 / 01 / 22 and had the 1º replay in 15 / 09 /22 and we are tat 26 / 02 / 23 and the problem keeps the same. WTF.
are you planing doing something or what? this is a bad product you selling us. -

This dog **** algorithm they use is making me hate the game all together. Used to make mythic on a regular basis and now I can't even get out of Plat. Until this **** is fixed, you can go **** yourself wizards. You won't see another dime from me nor will I be playing you're ******** rigged game.

How many games in paper magic has anyone hit 4 consecutive draws of the same card? I just played SIX STRAIGHT GAMES where I drew 4 consecutive Portal to Phyrexia of the top of my deck. In four of those games I also hit four consecutive Big Score. Gotta love a good shuffle!

Kojiki#93345 commented
The randomizer is not properly working. I spent all day playing today in completely frustration, the randomizer is not working. Using different decks for no avail. One deck has 7 white mama, I draw all of them and only them, and almost no white cards.

Wade the Wizard#03197 commented
Please! Destroy target "shuffle" code and create a new one.
My opening hand had 3 of the 5 Plains from my deck. The probability of this occurrence is between 1/2,772 and 1/3,422 depending on the order drawn. The probability of drawing 3 of the 24 Lands from my deck is between 1/14 and 1/17.
Just make the shuffle algorithm as truly random as possible. Please! I don't know what kind of weird code the "shuffle" is set up to do, but it's a pile of garbage.
Thanks -

Es realmente alarmante la cantidad de mulligans forzosos. Invlusive con una mano de 2 tierras y 3 spells de 2 manás el juego forza el mulligan al no darte las tierras necesarias. Siempre me pasa más seguido cuando juego free to play. En cambio cuando compro gemas fácilmente hago un 7-2 , con decks peor armados.

Rigged AF! This is not a game of skill, it is a slot machine where the algorithm of the matchmaker determines who wins each match before it is played. If this product was regulated by any laws, the executives would be going to jail. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME!
