I feel like Wizards is hiding this ongoing issue, and the usual YouTubers like Tolarian Community College keep mum about it, they're probably afraid of Wizards or paid by them.
LET'S BRING IT TO TWITTER!
Maybe then they will spend an infinitesimal part of their loads of cash to solve this bug.

To this day, December 10th, IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!
YOU CAN'T PLAY MAGIC WITH YOUR FRIENDS!
They haven't fixed it in 2 MONTHS!

Was able to play friendly for about 6 matches. Then wasn't able to play against same friend afterwards. Keeps stating that my deck won't submit and then I have to reconnect

friendly match fails every time.
tried about at least 30 times.
please use my account if system dev needs to reproduce this issue.

this is super annoying when im trying to play with my friend and not random people....

Same here

Same here. Normal matchmaking is no problem but direct matches wont work, not matter what we try. Pls fix that!!!

Yea this has been going on for months, it seems to have to do with having been in deck building. When I play direct battles with my friend, I am able to play normally but when one of us enter deckbuilding we can't play afterwards and then nothing helps anymore, I've tried restarting my pc, logging out of MTGA, logging out of Steam, flushed dns, nothing works but waiting for like a day.

How is this still an ongoing issue? Do you have some of the worst dev's or do you simply just not care about the product? It's unacceptable.

I've been experiencing this error for several weeks. I can queue for matchmaking, but whenever I try to accept or begin a direct challenge, I get a spinner, followed by "Unable to submit deck. Please try again later." Afterwards, most of the app is unresponsive, until eventually I get a "Lost Connection" error message and have to quit and restart the application.

I'm also experiencing this. I wanted to play a match with a friend this evening and we couldn't even see that each other were online.

Same error for me last night 12/6. Worked 12/5 for first time in a while.
(Had worked for years but mostly not working in the last few weeks). (Running MacOS - tested with two diff friends, both challenged and being challenged) - wishing you good luck in working on this tricky problem. Thanks!

Any updates on this???

Got the same problem. Matches with friends are one of the main features of the game for me, please fix this asap.

completely broken code, wizards does not care. me and my wife are uninstalling.

My boyfriend and I are unable to play Historic Brawl together. We had been playing daily until this happened and have both put money into getting gems. It is ridiculous how long this fix is taking. You see all of these posts and comments, WotC. And there are SO many more who have not reported or commented. It's not okay. At least let us know you're working on it??????

Haven't been able to play against my gf since a week or two before the Ixalan update, which is why I even get on the game in the first place. We play Brawl every morning before she goes to work. This needed a fix a LONG time ago.

Game is ALWAYS bugged for friend matches, not working after update!

What is the point of posting, *Unable to submit deck, Try again later* is a well known issue with no intention of being fixed... Never going to spend a dime on this game. They don't understand the "Gather" portion.
