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.

This game is a giant pile of ****. It is so frustrating I hope they go bankrupt. They clearly have went out of their way to make it this bad. I am bronze with no cards, yet I go against mythic players really? They game is clearly rigged in so many ways it's so obvious. As long as you make it this obnoxious you will never get my money or likely many others. This forum is 200 pages of hate. Maybe you should make your game better.

WisemanYata#71806 commented
I don’t know if anyone at Wizards reads the Bugs and Product Suggestions thread that you guys have instead of direct bug reporting, but it doesn’t seem like anyone at corporate does. People are still complaining about the the drawing algorithms and about receiving 5th or more copies of cards when they should be receiving wild cards instead, and about a whole host of other serious, long term issues. It hurts and saddens me and a lot of other players when these issues go not only unresolved, but unacknowledged. And the same scenario has cropped time and again with the excessive animations being a drain on the resources of the game client, the players, and even Wizards itself, with no one at Wizards even commenting on the reports that people have submitted. I think I speak for a very large portion of the playerbase when I say I am very disappointed with how it is managed.

GuessWho#90433 commented
When I play matches I tend to get matched significantly higher than I am rated. This isn’t fun for anyone. Why would I pay money to get smashed by someone that clearly has significantly more experience than me. I understand that your maximizing enjoyment for the players that pay more to win but you are alienating your average joes and your younger player base. Thanks for ruining drafting for me

This game became really boring …
I ask the administrator staff of that game …DO U ever read what we write ?im sure u don’t care but users will not play anymore soon if every game is so flat and same than every game .I play on events ,is it possible that in 10games I play ALWAYS against green elf ..monk white life gain or blu red total control ?
The game are finished before to start ..can you get people are bored to sign in everyday and play against those silly decks every time ?do u think it’s funny for users ?
I could create easily one elf deck or gain life since they re not even special cards BUT ITS TOO BORING TO PLAY ALL THE TIME THE SAME CARDS AS ALL OTHERS .
I BECOME BORED OF THAT GAME ..for sure I will not spend a euro and will leave soon since staff sleeps…. -
Strickler#92835 commented
I have always questioned any posts regarding a card game being rigged, since the human mind tends to remember negative events better than positive events when it comes to variance.
But:The matter who goes first and who is on the draw is certainly not decided by a fair coinflip!
It is happening to me in BO1 ranked queue as well as play queue and there is no longer any doubt for me that MTG Arena prefers some players over others. I can only imagine that is has to do with activity in the shop. Kind of shady imo. Only thing you can do is spread the word on the internet in a way that people don't just judge it as another 'rigged post' I thin kthe best thing you can do is play bo 3 and hope that you don't get screwed there as often for not using the shop as often as other players.

Reginads#92537 commented
Get rid of the hand smoother. Whatever developers you have working on the game are idiots. The shuffler you had for duels was leagues above what you have here. Besides you don't have that for mtgo, correct? You're messing with the integrity of the **** game. It's broken, doesn't work, you're killing the game. Everyone's leaving. I want all my money refunded, ******** **** suckers. Rot in **** you batches. **** wizards greedy ******* pig bastards

RofellosTheGreek#99878 commented
You haveto fix the matchmaking.Make it completrely random.This is unfair and frustruating.For example when i build a low curve deck i end up playing against mill decks.When i build a creature deck i end up playing against decks full of sweepers and removals.This is no fun,in the real life this doesnt happen.Make it completely random or i just quit,i dont want to lose my temper when playing magic,this is a game and it is supposed to be played to have fun not this.I have a feeling that all this is intetional and that make things even more worse

Never going first. Did the rules for MTG get changed? I used to play where you coin flip/die roll who go first. Winner picks. Please let me know if MTG ARENA rules are different from PAPER MTG. I play all night on MTG ARENA without ever going first. Maybe I missed a setting under my account or something.

Here's a suggestion. Take this game and shove it. I've been playing MTG since the 90s. Your card balancing **** is unplayable. I'm tired of mulligan after mulligan just to get completely horrible starting hands. I'm done with this TRASH!!!

and not only that, they'd pair you with mostly aggro decks.
Just now, I queued for Historic brawl, 8 straight games I'm always going second and I'm using Chulane. It's not even funny anymore. -
Norven#24815 commented
Match making is unreal, for exemple i made a "destroy land" deck and matchmaking only put me vs decks who can ramp and put lands in game, its pathetic never go vs random decks, is always vs decks that counter mine. same if i make a control deck only get aggro decks that kill me in 3 turns, experience of game is bad like this. don't ignore this, this is very important and 100% of players, agree with that.

wima#08007 commented
Your system is still automatically pairing draft players with the most similar draft decks. I won't tolerate it, and I am simply conceding the game automatically when I see multiple rares in common. This happens every draft. It is not random, it is not realistic, and it eliminates the one thing that makes drafting fun (variety). All this because I complained about a card that was being abused back when bot drafts were still used. Please address this.
