This game is unbearable. Stop "smoothing" my hands. stop rigging the match maker. This game is absolute trash,

I play draft which cost 1500 gems to sign up for.
Against my better judgment I spent 20 $ again.
Everytime it's the same, but my last draft beats it all.
Every few games it's either no lands of the right color, or mana flow, 1 land after the other. Tell me what is the point of playing a game if in more than half of the games the winner is already pre determent by a broken mechanism. It's like playing slot machines except there's nothing to win here. Anyway, that last draft I had to start second EVERY SINGLE TIME. 5 games in a row I go last, costing me ATLEAST 1 or 2 of my losses. Mana ***** cost me the third. WHY would I spend more money for something that only works on the surface. It's downright disheartening. IF I had a chance to trade my 4-5 year old account back for that last 20$ I would immediately.

I just lost 15 matches in a row at the EXACT same turn count my opponent being under 5 lp and its the perfect answer/removal. Then guess what i draw for 5 turns lands lands lands such a terrible broken system but wotc doesnt give a dam about its player base. They will rig their shufflers games matches anything for money on here. Terrible app broken and nothing will be fixed. But heres whats funny they will life ban players for "cheating" but they do it and nothing is done go figure

Fix it.

The game is designed with stats so that a player on a roll starts drawing only lands in draft or yet, doesn't draw any lands by putting 17 in the starting deck. Please return me the gems i've buy in this game. I demand a refund.

I have 0% win-rate against opponents on a superior Tier than I am, with MB in Standard for many the best deck in standard.

Opponent goes first in ranked 205/300 games I tracked while nearly always having balanced land and a balanced hand while I am land screwed or flooded in half the games. This just ruins this game terribly, thank god I play with the real cards and can put this complete bs site in it's place in my head. The weirdest part is the sudden small streaks where I suddenly have perfect hands and land and win 17/20, games and then it reverts back. This site needs douched. Sleeved table shuffle cards do not unbalance anywhere near this extent and the opponent goes first thing is not even really possible. (the opponent goes first thing has let up in the last 1-2 months) The deck rigging with the opponent always having perfect land and a perfect hand that counters any card I may play has increased.

This is the best form of cope I've ever seen. Stuff happens. Bad beats happen at every level, at every table, in paper, online, in Commander, in Limited, everywhere. It's not Arena's fault that probability exists.
Also, stop playing BO1.

when are you going to stop making things extremely difficult for deck brewers and stop catering to mono colored decks? Your hand smoothing disaster makes things very difficult for brewers because more often the not you get mana screwed or flooded and it happens back to back way too often for accurate information when brewing a deck and as for mono colored decks either situation gives them a huge advantage over multicolored decks . Had smoothing was supposed to make the game better but it has degenerated the game to the point where you are losing loyal customers. the play group I used to play with has all left and the guys who left have been buying boxes of cards every month since early in the beta set, now I am the only one left and you guys are out about 3000 dollars a month, Alienating the players that have been with you since the early stages of the game is not going to help you keep your business. Nabbing new players is cool but not at the expense of passionate players that have proven to be loyal. Most new players are not going to stick it out for years.

It's not an idea, it's a problem with the "flip a coin, who goes first". I have been tracking my deck tonight and I have played 40 games with a tracker. With a 26% on the play percentage. I learned that my tracker only calculates the games I start. I had given up before starting a game before accepting my hand which counts as going first so my "on the play" is actually lower than 26%.

Seriously, stop favoring net decks and adhere to the coin flip. Technically the rate at which I get to go first is literally impossible. I have a better chance at winning the powerball lottery three times over than getting the odds of going first in MTGA. I uploaded my games played/lost and the percentage at which I went first. Yes, I lost a lot of games but to be fair, after the first 20 games of going second other than a few games, I conceded. From here on out, in regular play (not ranked) I will give up every other game that I don't go first. One game, I go second, the next I go first. If I go second two times in a row, I concede. I will continue to concede for 4-6 more games until I go first. If I go first two times in a row, I will go second two times in a row. All we want is a true 50/50 system in which we play/draw.

At this point, I serious think that you have my account tagged to go second most of the time for complaints in the forums about bugs (specifically audio bugs that your programmers can't fix) to be fair, the audio has been better lately. But still chill out with your ****** "play first" algorithm.

I've played 5 draft of Dominaria and I've never hit 3 wins. I lose at least 2 games a draft because the game refuses to give me land curve. If its multi-land, I always only get 1 type. I tried to mono land in desperation and then it never gives more than 1. Mulligans don't help. Maybe I'm just unlucky as my opponents never seem to have a problem, but I can't take it anymore. I've never had a set kick me in the nuts so routinely on RNG. I've played Magic for a long time, but I can't do this any more. I can't suffer through 7-10 days of standard just to get another 0-3 run where I get nothing at all.

Then they can't favor the game for the people who spent money. They have to win so they can enjoy and spend more. Digital rigging at its finest. So don't expect any fairness.

I have drafted many a lot through Arena and it seems just recently have been seeing a rash of opening hands with 3+ of the same basic land. Then kept drawing lands of the same color... I understand this could be random luck but I have pretty much ended up poorly in 2x drafts because of this. Has the hand smoothing algorithm been updated?

Your shuffler is everyday worst ..can’t u see it ?
It’s not even random or I will ,at some point ,could play all my 60 cards ..but there are cards on my deck I don’t play like from weeks because they never happen and I play at least 10 games on the best of 3 everyday .
Another prove is that if I add a card I’m ur deck u probably will play at the first games .
I can’t play any,ore so frustrating to finish games or with 2 lands or 10 lands over 13 cards ..
For sure u will do NOTHING

I finally uninstalled your game for the final time. I've had it with the amoung of rigging that goes on with this game. You cannot convince me that this game is not rigged to make the user want to spend money.

I was playing Boros Burn - a rather good deck in the current meta - and went on a massive winning streak in the ladder, getting to Gold 3 without any issues at all. Today, all of a sudden, I start getting the most awful starting hands I've had with the deck. To the point where I was getting 2 Plains and 3 Raijus in hand. I had to mulligan my starting hand in 6 out of 7 games! I'm sorry, that's just not normal. It doesn't make any sense that a deck that never had these issues before all of a sudden starts having the worst possible draws and starting hands.
Also, I find it curious that, in my matches before today, I was playing versus a good diversity of decks. Today, I was paired with at least 5 mono black players. Hum... How curious that I'm matched versus the deck that counters mine the most so many times. But I'm sure it's just a coincidence, right?

Anyways, others before me have complained about your rigged shuffler. I certainly won't be the last. Wizards, it's time for you to listen to your players and get rid of this broken shuffler. Until you do, I am not touching your game again. And, in all honesty, I'm sorry for those who will keep experiencing this shuffler and the frustrations that come from it.

Are you ******* fix this ******* algorithm ??? Seriously, this is a scam what you do !!! With 60 cards decks or with 250 cards, i always have lands problems and lands are almost 1/2 cards !!! Everytime ******* time, i have to mullingan because i have only 1 or 2 lands in my hands (and not only one colour when i have a multicolor deck !!!). Or i only have lands !!! And i don't talk about cards people draw !!! It's not real probability we can have !!! Go fix your ******* algorithm, *******, because, this is really a scam ! We put money in it !!! ******** sons of bitchs !!!

PLEASE FIX YOUR SHUFFLER. I get mana screwed all the time and either I don't get lands when theres a 30 percent chance over 5 turns or I don't get the colors needed.

os enviare fotos de las partidas porque entiendo que esto lo mueve el dinero pero que en mazo de 60 cartas siempre salgan las mismas 10 y luego o bien no salen tierras o solo salen tierras....reconocerlo pero no nos toméis por tontos

fire your staff and hire people with real skill to fix your shuffler which is really just a card stacking device with no randomization to it. i will never spend money on this game

The draw algorithm has been proven to cheat. How the game draws cards as per your website is against the rules of magic. There is no reason why i should consistantly draw 3 copies of one card. Put 24 lands in a deck and you get 2 lands total all game. Put 20 lands in a deck and you get all lands. Make it at least make sense. You have been given evidence upon evidence of all of this and you still refuse to fix the main issue with the game. Every paper magic player i have encountered complains about your cheating shenanigans. I have even drawn 5 copies of cards in one game. Sometmes it has been 5 turns in a row drawing the same card. Just fix it and stop the ****.
