C'mon dvper team. You have the best tcg out there. Please, stop ruining it with this poor attention to multiplayer. The shops works just fine. PLEASE, don't destroy this beautifull license that is MTG. Ok we can pay 11 euros for 4 rare jokers... Ok we can pay for almost anything a huge price. But please, fix the multiplayer, and work on the 2v2. Thank you very much. Not gonna put any money again if this is not seriously considered.

Running community tournaments has been impossible for over a month now, if not more. The recent update made it even worse (even fewer direct challenges seem to be going through). Please fix this as soon as possible. This is really unacceptable and I'm considering not contributing another dime to the in-game store until this is fixed.

Ruining online tournaments, became worse after the update

this bug has been a problem for waaaaay too long :(

This has been going on for too long. Cannot seriously consider this a 'premium client' if something as basic as this is ongoing for 2 months now.

This bug makes me sad :(... seems like its getting worse and not better with each update too...

Please fix this

This feature not working between my wife and I is a huge bummer. It was helping us learn our cards digitally before doing paper.

This has been an issue for apparently over a year based on reddit. And this post is from over a month ago?

Come on ya'll.

Come on, it is past time to fix this error. I'm not paying a penny until it's resolved.

Everytime I try direct challenge I get waiting for server then can't load deck. Would really like to play with friends!

I've had this issue for MONTHS, which has worsened since the Ixalan update. It's infuriating that my partner and I spent money on this set, and we can't even enjoy it together. My partner works in QA so we've done extensive troubleshooting on our ends. We will not be spending any more money on Arena, that's for sure. Seriously feels like we got ripped off, especially since this critical issue isn't even a priority to WOTC.

Same here. Went to play some historic brawl challenge matches yesterday and nearly all of our decks were invalid for no reason.

I can't play with any of my friends any more. Either one of us will have the "unable to submit deck" every time.

When I try to queue into a direct match with a friend (AKA my wife) it will attempt for 20-30 seconds to connect to the server, after which it will fail and say “Network Error - Could not submit deck, please try again later.” This happens with multiple decks, both old and brand new, at various times of the day, and whether we are connected to Wi-Fi or using data. The expected result, obviously, is to be connected to each other so that we can play, like we’ve done easily 200+ times in the past. We both play primarily on iPhone, which is where we’ve noticed the issue.

Same issue, got worse after Ixalan update which was supposed to improve this.

This issue started for me about a month ago, same time as the original post. Since then I haven't been able to play against my partner. Any direct match has the issue where it seems to start for one of us (we go into the waiting room) but the other person gets the spinning wheel and "waiting on server" until it times out. We have tried many, many times over the past month and this happens every time. It doesn't matter which one of us initiates the direct challenge or which device we play on (we have tried on android, iphone, mac, and windows, and every combination of pairing between those). Direct matches are the only reason they have an account and spend any money on it. It's been incredibly frustrating that we bought cards but haven't been able to use them against each other for the past two sets (WOE and LCI). Wizards, you need to fix this ASAP, it is a major functionality of your game that people spend money on that is just completely broken. Unacceptable.

What's the point of a card game if you can't play against your friends? I only play to play with friends and if I can't I wont be spending money on it.
Wizards, stop ignoring this 2 year old issue! WE WANT TO PLAY! FIX YOUR GAME!

same problem here and no response from WOTC? oh man this is so sad :(

we are three friends who just came together to play versus each other and it doesnt work :-( pls fix it soon

Hopefully it gets resolved soon!
