Game is not fun anymore
This game is not fun anymore. I enjoyed it for a while until something happened in these last few months. Everyone plays the exact same decks with the same cards which cost a fortune and are annoying and awful. They basically just stop people from playing anything for enough rounds until they have enough mana to play a wipeout spell. It is extremely frustrating and not at all what this game is supposed to be, or has ever been, paper or otherwise. The new expansions haven't helped. Alchemy hasn't helped. Now Historic is going by the wayside.
If I wanted to play a game of ping pong I'd get a **** ping pong table. Countering and unsummoning and board wiping back and forth is BORING, yet you seem to be creating more and more and cheaper and cheaper cards to do that. Why???
I'm out. I was considering dropping a few dollars to buy some new cards and compete until recently, but this has gotten ridiculous. I don't even want to try to come up with new combos and decks anymore, which has been the GREATEST part of my magic experience for nearly 30 years. Goodbye. I'll spend my time and money elsewhere.

100% agree with this. i am new to magic and thought i would play this to try and learn it, so i could replicate it hopefully in irl. so many of my matches are paired with people with tons of instant kill cards or cards like borrowed time, its not fun placing cards and instantly removing them or having them locked. ive noticed no one really builds unique decks. anytime i ask for help i met with answers like "just look up a deck and copy it". i also feel like arena shuffler is rigged or has a really bad shuffling algorithm, lots of matches i lose right out the gate. i either get land flooded with no creature or vice versa. i have put 4x or 2x of multiple creatures just to never see them in my hand or i wont get the lands to play them. lastly i hate the roping system, I don't mind some one taking the time to think of a strategy, but i have been in so many matches where someone makes a decision right at the last second before it forced to me. i don't know if its lag or trolling at this point, but all i know is I don't see how people take the time to drive to events to deal with some of these lame mechanics.

YES!! this is it. its literally the SAME BS deck over and over. people dont create unique decks anymore they just google high success decks and thats that. On top of that everyones goal now is to either infinite loop you or 3 turn you. at which point, why even bother to sit down and play a 30 second match in the first place?

I've been hating the game for awhile now for many of the same reasons. There is no longer a competitive sense of the game. They just keep coming out with more and more cards that make playing this game miserable. There's no longer any strategy. Blue-dominated decks, combos everywhere... Then there is Arena. Arena is a cesspool. In their quest for greed and profit, all they did was ruin the game.

I am in 100% agreeance with you I will be dropping arena as well it's just not fun to play anymore. It's a chore to play it now it doesn't matter what you do in this game it's all the same meta and it's tedious and aggravating to play so I will be saying goodbye to it for a very long time.
