Can’t sideboard
I’ve been playing bo3 Timeless matches on iPad and I am unable to sideboard at all between games after the latest patch. I click on cards in my sideboard to add them and it doesn’t add them. After game 1 I am sometimes able to sideboard normally, but never after game 2. Sometimes I’m able to remove cards from the deck but I’m unable to add any back in, even the ones I’d just removed. When this happens all I can do is restart MTGA, which doesn’t fix the problem but it at least resets my deck to 60 cards again so I can submit a legal deck and don’t need to wait for the timer to tick down. I’ve been unable to replicate the conditions that cause this to occur or not, but I’d say most of the time I am unable to sideboard after game 1 and never after game 2, and sideboardinggmae 1 seems to be broken more often than it works. I’ve mostly been playing decks with Lurrus as my companion, but I’ve also run into this problem with a Yorion companion.

Can’t add cards from sideboard to main deck during sideboard phase. Can only remove cards from main deck but cannot replace with sideboard cards.
Makes BO3 unplayable. Game also crashes every other game.

Can Confirm this is still happening on PC, multiple games today, even after restarting client multiple times.

Didn't play companion and this bug still happens, so I don't think it is because of the companion.

Glad I'm not alone. It's incredibly frustrating to be forced to concede purely because arena is bugging. Fix this

Please fix!! I really want to draft the new deck but this makes it very hard to draft. So much wasted money drafting but not able to use sideboard to organize thoughts. Also cannot view drafted cards while drafting.

Same here it randomly rejects my sideboarding options, but if it happens in my case it usually prevents sideboarding during all subsequent parts of the Bo3. It either happens after game 1 or not at all.
I just lost to this bug once again in my decider match right before mythic ... super fun especially as my matchup would have actually heavily favored me after sideboarding in my control options... -

I have had the same, happened once where I couldn't put anything in sideboarding game 2 and then could game 3. Then happened again a few days late where I couldn't sideboard both games 2 and 3. I was able to add or subtract cards on cards already in my deck, but nothing happened when I tapped the cards on my sideboard.

I’ll extend I’m unable to side board at all in Bo3 for timeless and haven’t been able to for over a week now. You can drag the side board cards to the deck but it won’t allow you to submit your edited list no matter how many times you click the button and inevitably you just burn out your side board time and join the next match with your original list from G1.

So I have a bunch of additional data points, but they unfortunately don't help narrow down the issue much. I've since run into this issue on the Mac client as well, so it's not just affecting mobile platforms. The issue is the same: clicking/tappping on cards in the sideboard does not add them to the deck, and sometimes I'm unable to interact with cards in the main deck as well. Cards do still highlight as normal on mouseover or tap and hold.
Part of what makes this bug so difficult is that, while I'd say I'm unable to sideboard properly in about 80% of the matches I've played recently, 20% of the time I'll have no issue, and I cannot replicate what leads to either outcome. Sometimes I'll have a match or two where I *am* able to sideboard normally, even after game 2, but then I'll have bugged sideboarding for the remainder of my matches that night.
