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.

Yeah, hi again Wizards employees. Whoever the **** keeps turning my posts into comments, attached to this less well-written post that holds only one of my points I made, ********. For real. Do you really think, after I have spent hundreds over the years on this game, that I would just go away?
GET RID OF THE MOTHER ******* ALGORITHM! The cards should be RANDOMLY SHUFFLED! I am angry as **** because it tuens out, nobody even wants to buy my account. BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE THIS OUTLET OF MAGIC SUCK ***! With your hyper-control of outcomes.
If you are a smart person posting in this forum, I urge you to use a deck tracker. I guarantee you that, if you check, you have a 50/50 W/L average. That's not mtg. This is a ****** skirmish version that looks pretty.
Wizards, get the **** over yourself. The nerds will sill play if they aren't babied into their wins. Seriously consider what you have read in all my posts that you attached to this post over and over and over again. Quit sweeping me under the rug. -

Hi!
I'm struggling and annoyed of MTG Arena shuffling mechanism.
It's very frequent case when you got 3 the same cards at starting hand or near.
Also it's very frequent that 3 the same cards are at the same place in the deck.
Even 2 the same cards together shall be not so frequent event.
But 3 !!! it's very strange, especially in the starting hand.
See attached screenshots. -

The shuffler is ******* broken. Stop working on stupid bs like putting emrakul in the game and fix the **** shuffler you *******

brathendl#49709 commented
PLEASE!!! Update the shuffeling algorithm. It is so annoying that you always draw a multiple of the same card! I can have 120 cards in a deck, but thanks to some kind of „magic“ i draw all 4 copies of the same card within 2-3 turns. And that happens nearly every game.

PerkyDong#92692 commented
I drew 7 lands in a row today and that is not the first time. I hate this game ... plain and simple ... it's just not fun. After playing with real cards in a real social setting with real world probabilities it is obvious to me this game is manipulated and is a bait and switch. If only our legal system didn't favor corporations I would almost be curious about class action so people could get some of their money back. Alas none of it matters since you own nothing and as far as hasbro is concerned that is the way things should be. I would STRONGLY advise anyone wanting to make an investment in this extremely poor representation of MTG to be cautious.

Just play the "color challenge" to see the root dynamics of this jinky shuffle/smoother.
5 card rule hardcore.
It picks your cards and you get dubs of the main mechanic cards.
The homogenized shuffler for your consumer noob needs.
Kinda like 5 yr old soccer where everyone wins.......
Hassholes of the Coast hustling kids with pop culture lures of cheap animations instead of quality game play and a manipulated shuffler and server that selects cards for you,and since this server is dumbed down and cheap it swings from one extremity to another and is continually shuffling unless certain cards are observed or placed and when a cards are drawn it shuffles from 2 - 5 piles at that time (Creatures, Planeswalkers, Instants and sorceries, enchantments and artifacts,and Lands.And within 5 cards you will get any card in your hand (as long as you have at least 2+ copies in deck).Main engine/mechanic cards pop more and all of this is why there is clumps of special lands and the rest of the cards all the time because in any isolated pile drawing dubs is obviously greater for say 15 creatures than the entire deck esp. if you got 4 copies.
RULE OF FIVE -

You will not get any refund btw. You would have an easier time getting Hitler to apologize to the Jewish people, than having this company actually not blatantly rob people. Paying for a product, which is NOT being delivered and not giving refund, IS theft.

How about you make the card draw actually random... stop messing with the core game function you bafoons.

Match Maker Broken for ONE Premier Draft. I am currently ranked Silver 3, that is 5 levels from beginner Bronze 4, these are my last 6 match pairings for ONE Premier Draft and it's exceptionally unfair: vs 1. Diamond, 2. Diamond, 3. Mythic Ranked 1298, 4. Platinum, 5. Diamond, 6. Mythic...Support just sends me the form message of "the algorhithms and match maker have been tested and work perfectly" but clearly there is a major problem. What is the point of a ranking system if I'm at a beginner level and get paired against experts match after match. There is a problem with the system, and I would like someone with a brain to respond to my messages and fix the issue. I have to quit ONE draft because it's extremely unfair to have to play these matches and would like my draft entries refunded until the issue is resolved.

NODUGONOKO#49719 commented
I have given legitimate and valid feedback multiple times. Usually about how the game, played through mtga, is unfair in it's very nature. Due to the FACT that cards don't appear from the top in a truly randomized order. And this is the last time I'm going to even try to make a wave about it. So here goes.
When I last posted in these forums about that specifically, I was privately emailed by a wizards employee. Who ensures me, "The deck shuffler is working exactly as intended."
Which is already unsettling enough. But then I became so frustrated just trying to enjoy playing magic that I had to post again. And I am too smart to enjoy playing mtga, due to the FACT that I am screwed by the RIGGED ALGORITHM, EVERY LOSS, EVERY SINGLE TIME I WISH TO PLAY!
The other post I made in this forum was to try to bring attention to the fact that my account was put under some sort of stealth nerf. Every match, since my most opinionated and frankly heated post, has resulted in a loss. Whereas beforehand, I was being limited to winning 50% of the time. And I mean I am losing EVERY GAME unless someone messed up really badly. I was attempting playing the same decks, new decks, and every format. But it didn't matter. I wasn't afforded a SINGLE OPPORTUNITY to win. One time. And I am a very seasoned deck builder and player.
SO PLEASE READ THIS! I said in my last post how much this pains me, but it's happening. I'm selling my account. Unless nobody has bought it from me before I have this stupid stealth nerf lifted from this account. I am also telling my account purchaser this information about how wizards handles the functions of this game and this particular account. So they KNOW WHAT THEY'RE BUYING! When I initially put money into mtga, it was because I thought I was going to get an outlet to play magic. While I'm stuck on a couch after my stress-induced seizure that broke my spine. But no, it's a synthetic, washed out shadow of an amazing game. Which I have gotten nothing, but more anger and stress, from since i placed my opinions on how the mtga deck shuffler should be handled.
So please wizards employee that may happen to see this, HELP! HELP YOURSELF! HELP ME! HELP OTHER PLAYERS! FIX THE GAME! Or at least release my account nerf. Please. Or i will be selling my magic card collection on mere principle. You will lose this 20yr player. I mean it. -
MTGAISASCAM#91694 commented
Fact is with my original deck I skunk all net decks without the rigging.You admin and your minions you charmed with your BS need clumps of dubs to win so I am satisfied knowing after all the times I slapped the Hass.bro d.ick out of your mouth I still would win and you need to cheat and hide behind you pop culture animations and smoother shuffler.

Not even Blizzard, RAPING WOMEN, is anywhere as DISGUSTING as this company. How the **** is this even in any way LEGAL?! IF the day ever comes and they will be sentenced to jail for this corrupt, moneygrubbing, soul-less ****, i hope they will get raped in jail as much as they raped every players wallet. Atleast Blizzard TRIES to condemn what they've done.. but noooo,, not this company. "shuffler is working as intended." Yeah.. the intention is to steal money and give no *****.

MTGAISASCAM#91694 commented
They should change it from Arena to the Mulligan Magic the Poker Game,where the best rigged hand wins and there's always great deals on pretty animations you can play with instead of playing the game.
Don't worry about luck or skill they'll pick your hand for you and if you got a master pa$$ they'll coddle you even further as Intended by Hasholes of the Coast. -

It's definitely selecting cards and opponents.
A pile shuffler dealing garbage.
It's clear advertising and graphics to entrance kids is the priority as oppose to balanced game play and a random shuffler.

Got most the same cards 7 games in a row with either 2 mana or 5.And that includes 2 mulligans each game.
I will never play this ******* format again and I hope someone burns that office to the ground.

Same cards all the time now.The rule of 5 is sickeningly real.Within 5 will be a copy especially if they got 4 of that card in the clip.They ruined this game entirely and ruined my game store's business as well.

[YOUTUBE LINK BELLOW PROVES THIS TO BE A TRUE STATEMENT]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR0fhvy9LOQ[MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE]
I have a mono white deck. ALL WHITE. 60 cards. I've been playing ranked. I was on Silver tier 1, 1 game left to go to get to gold. EVERY GAME I JOINED, I ONLY GOT 2 MANA. Normally, this isn't an issue for me. I usually draw mana my first pull. NOPE. Played 2 games, same thing happened. I ended up using the mulligan feature. I kid you not, every time I mulligan, I get 2 mana. I mulligan all the way down to only being able to keep 2 cards, and what do you know? 3 mana. So I get pretty mad about this. I ended up putting 30 mana cards in a 60 card deck, the mana ratio is insane. I kid you not, it happened again. Next game, Put 5 more mana. Still the same outcome. It set me back 2 tiers.
