Friend challenge keeps bugging out after 2 or 3 games. we become Desynched
When me and my friend Direct challenge each other, sometimes after 1 game or 2 or 3, we no longer can fight each other because it says on his screen he gets to join the game but "waiting for opponent" which ultimately leads to a draw but on my screen, as soon as I choose a deck it says "waiting for server" and the loading wheel but then eventually it says "Unable to submit deck" or "network error" and I cannot cancel the screen or play anything else due to my decks showing a locked symbol or it says "Waiting for server" until my friends screen says "draw" and then we are both able to play again. The only way we can get around this issue is to play someone else for a game and then we can play again for a couple of games and the problem resurfaces. We're both on PC.

Day four of upvoting every single one of these related threads until WOTC deals with this incredibly annoying issue. It's been going on for at least 3 months now, and doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason as to who it effects and when. This has made our Arena playgroup extremely frustrated, and we'd all hoped the Khans release patch would fix it. Time to get this some more attention.

I'm unable to successfully connect to a game after challenging (or receiving a challenge) from person on friend's list. This started as of this week. After clicking accept challenge and selecting a deck, one player seems to load in correctly while the other player shows a message about waiting for server. The player waiting to connect will eventually get a message saying "Unable to submit deck." The other player loads in and gets a "Draw" result after the other player eventually times out.
We are using the same deck selections as we used earlier this week. Since the error popped up the first time, we've attempted several times to play and have not been able to. Both my friend and I are using MTGA on Steam.

Issue:
My friend and I can play a game once per day via direct challenge, but after we complete a match, we are not able to re-challenge. One of us gets a message "Waiting for the server" followed by "Network error, unable to submit deck".
The next day, we are able to challenge again, but again only once.
Reproduction steps:
Consistently:
1) Play 1 Best of three with any type of deck from "My Decks" either via direct challenge or challenge via friends list
2) After completing the match try to challenge the same person again
3) One of us gets "Waiting for Server" followed by "Network error"We tried:
* Logging out and back in
* Deleting the MTGA cache
* Switching accounts
*Restarting the PC
*Variation of Direct challenge and challenge via friends list
*Other formats worked fine -

When I Direct-Challenge a friend, they've been receiving a "Please try again later" network error and I get "Waiting for opponent." We're sitting in the same room, sharing the same internet connection, with no other noticeable network issues.
We're both on PC. We couldn't find a workaround.
Steps we took to reproduce:
> We both captured logs before.
> I challenged my friend, who accepted. We picked decks and selected play.
> I'm on a screen with my avatar and our usernames; they're stuck on a screen that says waiting for the server.
> I waited ~a minute, the game results in a Draw, and I return to the main menu. They wait a little longer, until the network times out, ultimately presenting the options to Reconnect or Exit Game.
> I captured my log after returning to the menu. They captured their log after clicking "Reconnect."They also took a handful of screenshots, also attached.
