Same happens here I can see threads that are dating back to 4 years ago with this issue whicheans it's an ongoing one and permanent fix hasn't been found yet, before the update it was also happening but some days if ur lucky enough you get the chance to play with friends. Now however it never works, tried all the workarounds. Wizards please do something! Your magic doesn't work! So please as a developer give some feedback to the community. It's becoming ridiculous...

When the **** are you fixing this, Wizards? Give some feedback

I won't spend another cent on this game until I can reliably play with my friends again.

Same experience, sometimes works, often does not. Various network error logs or could not load deck.

I really think we should Otori… This is seriously frustrating and sad, a great game and not being able to simply play it with friends is just unacceptable!

I think we should get the community together and arrange a spending freeze until they resolve this issue, it has been ongoing for months now, and it isn't a difficult fix. As a programmer, I can tell you with relative certainty that this is a very easy fix, at least it is if they are using anything close to industry standard design.

So… Are we getting this fixed or you are just waiting for everyone to stop playing MTG Arena? Also I received an email about the upcoming Twitch Rivals event… I guess the event should be having lots of errors and not being able to play right? Because if everything goes well for them to play… Then this would look VERY BAD on your end for the community… Respect your community please. Fix the game for us to play with friends

Direct challenges haven’t worked for weeks. My son and I like to play each other. If we can’t do that anymore I don’t see the point in keeping the app or continuing to spend money on it.

Sometimes playing against friends works, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to vary from day to day. Also, sometimes if we both let our game just sit there for awhile, it suddenly allows us to play each other.

Same issue here, please at least put some information on the systems opperational page to say this is a known issue, you are aware of it and are working on it. Then we wouldn't spend hours of quality time trying to get it to work!

Same for me, I have an account an my two children have a respective account and one of us usually suffers this problem, alternating from day to day. As we are using the same machines with the same network equipment it cant be because of PC or network issues, the problem clearly lies with Arena.

bug log

Same thing here. it also changes the format of some of my decks.

Note that i only play historic brawl since there is no commander format in arena yet.

Same bug here. It's really hatefull. I want to play with my friends, but the game doesn't let me :( :(

i already had this issue before you solvet, now it happens again

Same thing here. Watch video, it also changes the format of some of my decks.

Note that i only play historic brawl since there is no commander format in arena yet.

I've been experiencing problem with submitting deck to play with friends for the last 1.5 weeks. Before that it was somewhat bearable, but at this point it just plain doesn't work :(
Tried everything from removing from friends and direct challenges to re-friending and logging out and back in again

I think we should spam daily this thread or something until we get a response or anything… Please fix the game we would like to play it and even spend money on it… Don’t IGNORE THIS ISSUE… At least give us something! An explanation, update, ANYTHING!!!
