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.

After months of playing I've come to the conclusion that it's not true that the sorting algorithm is rigged, simply the deck sorting algorithm DOESN'T EXIST!
The cards drawn are decided by the system from time to time to manipulate the progress of the game!
I've played Magic in a non-digital version and I've never been faced with a situation bordering on statistical impossibility! Situations instead that arise continuously in the online version!
I reported it to the Federal Trade Commission
(https://www.ftc.gov)
I urge all users who want to play HONEST to do the same! -

I've been playing paper magic since 1995. The shuffler in this game is so far beyond broken its disrespectful. The devs that created it you would think have never played magic before. Fix the shuffler! It's ridiculous that players should have to deal with this kind of stuff.

2 days in a row with 9+ games in a row matched with decks running blue in the brawl queue.

I hate the developers from wotc bc they couldnt create random with a cheat sheet and step by step directions. Their I.T. Department must be ran by the most inept mentally challenged bag of ******** who just keep saying shuffler works as intended as i have been told thru fkn emails and its all robotic trash. Fix this bc somebody needs to sue your company for beeach of ethics and creating a full scale cheating rigged system. Fk ur algorithms and constant favoritism between tubers and such

As a high schooler with Trs-80, I could program a fair deck shuffler. The shuffler isn’t broken. It does exactly what WoTC intends it to do. It cheats unless you spend money.
This would be a great app that I would spend money on if WoTC would publish the rules to get the deck to shuffle fairly.

I made a few common/mix of common/uncommon decks with all basic lands. I got constantly paired against decks with playsets of Sheoldreds, Wandering Emperors, Lilianas, green Titans, Portal to Phyrexias and abundance of rare duals-who seemingly have perfect draws and counters.
Also don't mention unfair matchmaking in the Discord - that's where all the shills are.

I feel like every draft I do, I end up having several games where I'm totally mana flooded. Like, I have 20 cards left in my library, but have drawn 11 of 17 lands, or in this last game, had 22 cards left in library, and had seen 10 of 15 lands, including 5 lands in a row. I'd actually cut a land from the deck between matches (Quick Draft) to avoid the mana flood I'd had in the previous game, and ended up losing to flooding again.
I can't ever run a draft deck with more than 16 lands unless I have 5+ draw spells, because if the game goes more than 6 turns, I just stop drawing anything but land half the time. It's super frustrating.
Had a game a week or two ago where I had 15 cards left in library, and had already seen all but 1 land in the deck. Meanwhile, my opponents are drawing gas turn after turn.

make a mode that ranks decks of equal stature

fix the **** RNG, i know it is your RNG and not random chance as i did a little test. made a deck that was 60 cards total 50 of them where lands and did 10 random matches. 8 of the 10 matches the initial draw had zero lands which in a deck that was literally almost 100% lands should not be possible.
FIX THE **** RNG, not just for experienced players this game is a lot of new peoples first experience with magic and you really think they are going to go out and buy card to play to play with friends if they are not having fun playing arena which gives the impression that it is not a fun game

There is proof that the supposed shuffle is NOT randomized properly, and needs to be fixed. the Proof:
on the draw, your hand rates for a mulligan, and one of the cards is one of the most mana cost in the deck, and you only have one copy of it. Mulligan, and on THAT draw, the singular card is again in hand. Mulligan TWO MORE TIMES and Both times that singular card is again drawn. The odds of that happening with real cards are so far into "never going to happen" I am just going to say that instead of trying to type that big a number! -

Ever consider the deck shuffler is rigged to favor players who have spent money? Sadly, without knowing the rules by which the deck shuffler is going to cheat, I can’t continue playing.
This is a great game but it’s no fun when the shuffler is cheating.

How is this game made??? How is it possible I draw ONLY mana. Or just the same creatures, or just no mana.
The gameplay is sad, I hope you're going to fix the AI, put more possibility for the player to comment every game ( like the smiles you added) and fix the way 250 cards decks are just umbeateble. -

I personally disagree the functioning of the criterions of research of an opponenent based on similarity of cards or colors used in draft and the script behind the Shuffler that cause too often flooding or screwing of lands even with a good mana curve and a right balance of lands and spells

Why is the shuffler still not fixed? And Why can't I post screen shots of proof anymore? Are you maliciously trying to hide the fact you are rigging the game?

Matchmaking still broken.
Queued up with a dimir aggro deck. Played almost exclusively agains mono black.
A second later queued up with izzet tempo - suddenly all the opponents are mono red and mono blue tempo.
Please Fix this pathetic algorithm... -
